Please read this. Need water ? It's free.

Frank Stronach, Canadian billionaire (car parts)
is building a slaughter house in central Florida.
He has already drilled 135 wells and wants to pump
13 1/2 MILLIONS GALLONS OF WATER PER DAY to irrigate the 55,000 acres he has purchased. ( no charge for the water course.)
The fact that he has already drilled the wells, should
set off some alarms that the fix is in for the water withdrawl.
13 1/2 million gallons of water per day is more water than a city of 60,000 uses.
We in central Florida, are short of rain. Not like the drought areas, but this is nothing less than politicians being bought and screw the public concerns.
His slaughter house is called Adena Springs. Isn't that a nice non-threatening name ?
They had a presentation (invitation only) to discuss any concerns the people of Marion County might have.

We already have numerous "bottlers" tapping the aquifers; (also free), I don't think we can handle this for long.

1. He needs to be stopped. If he gets away

with it then every other inconsiderate asshole who thinks growth of his wealth is more important than lives will want to do the same.

I hope some of those invited to the meeting show him how unwelcome he is.

2. The arrogance is unreal.

If you can buy the politicians to ok this, you can probably buy an election.

Zero news on how/or what happened at the meeting.
Just that there will be a public meeting later. (I'm guessing that this will be right after all the papers and signed).

4. When I lived in Tampa for a while...

sinkholes were a big problem, along with salt water intrusion into a very shallow aquifer.

Have they solved these problems, or do they not exist inland?

5. Thanks for asking that. A letter in the local rag said that

had questioned "aquifer experts", and they couldn't say for sure. ...My guess is they said, "probably, but not with 100 % accuracy".
Some of the aquifers haven't been mapped yet....WHAT ???

[TreasonousBastard]

7. Aquifers not mapped? Will wonders never cease?

8. Damn.

Around here the frackers are getting the water that our drought-stricken farmers desperately need, and when they're done it's pumped way deep into the earth because it's been made so toxic that it can't be used for any purpose. They keep saying that burying it so deep is perfectly safe, except that it isn't. The greed that compels such activities is something I never want to experience. I don't ever want to be the kind of person for whom deadly consequences have no meaning.
