The event at Vista Brewing on Nov 6, 2022, was a lovely evening with people who care about our groundwater, land, animals, and air.
Attorney Jeff Munday gave a scary presentation on exactly what it means to have a rock crushing operation on the Needmore Ranch, near our water supply, between San Marcos and Wimberley.
On Monday, November 7, Mr. Mundy delivered a second notice of intent to bring suit against Far South Mining Company citing the Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Edwards Aquifer Protection Plan.
