WELL TEST SITE MAP AND LAKE LEVEL PHOTOS  The 2024 Integrated Water Master Plan assumes a backup well is possible. (See Ten test sites have been drilled. All ten test sites are located near the Cosumnes River. If river water is discovered in Rancho Murieta well water samples, use of the well/s would be a direct violation of Rancho Murieta's river pumping permit and could lead to  attached well test site location map)  revocation.  IFABACK UP WELL IS AN ACHIEVABLE ASSUMPTION:  1) WHY DID CSD'S 1990 STUDY STATE THAT RELYING ON WELL WATER IS NOTA 2) WHY HAS RANCHO MURIETA BEEN WITHOUT A BACKUP WATER SUPPLY SINCE  VIABLE OPTION FOR RANCHO MURIETA?  THE 1976-1977 DROUGHT?  ATTACHED ARE LAKE CALERO AND LAKE CHESBRO PHOTOS. IMAGINE WHAT THE LAKE LEVELS WOULDI LOOK LIKE IF RANCHO MURIETA HAD APPROXIMATELY 1,700 MORE HOMES AND. ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. IF RANCHO MURIETA IS UNABLE TO PUMP RIVER WATER FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR (SIMILAR TO THE 1976-1977 DROUGHT EVENT) WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? ISN'T IT POSSIBLE THAT RANCHO MURIETA HAS ALREADY EXCEEDED THE NUMBER OF HOMES THAT CAN BE SAFELY SUPPORTED BY  THE EXISTING WATER SUPPLY?    inez  0LZ  DATE:12/022013 SCABSVA8V PROICTNOEZD DRAWNBEMM CHECKEDAPHD EGURE1  STEMAPWITHCROS: SECTIONLINE, GEOPHYSICAL FOPLESANDTESTHOLE LOCATIONS RANCHOMURIETACSD SACRAMENTOCOUNTYCALIFORNIA  Dunn ENVIRONMENTAL INC.

At the time these pictures were taken, I6 e-mailed Ed Crouse and asked how much water had been pumped from The Cosumnes River since November 1, 2009. His answer was 206 acre feet. During the 1976-1977 drought, Rancho Murieta diverted 277 acre feet (slightly more than the level shown in these pictures.) Additional houses  equal increased water demand and lower laké levels.
