2021-07-08 Hamilton 7.8.21Dear Nicole Sauviat Criste,
I am a concerned citizen of the desert and am opposed to building the Coral Mountain Resort. We are
in a drought emergency and not only will water be necessary to build this Resort, but adding an 18
million gallon wave pool, too? Water evaporates. Where is this water coming from—the underground
aquifer? We are in the middle of climate change. Temperatures are getting hotter every year. The
2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act—SGMA was adopted during California’s last drought.
The law states that groundwater is a shared resource. I don’t believe sharing a finite resource with more
million dollar homes, a four story hotel, and another wave pool in the desert is sustainable. I conserve
water but yet see projects like these springing up all over the desert and wonder why I should do my
part?
Sincerely,
Maggie Hamilton
