San Augustin Water Grab DENIED!

The Augustin Plains Ranch LLC application has been turned down by the New Mexico Office of State Engineer. San Augustin Water Coalition's Attorney, Bruce Frederick, as confirmed that the State Engineer has said no to every part of the application.

A copy of the order may be viewed here.

"Congratulations to you all for hanging in there and not giving up," said SAWC's Carol Pittman. "Keep in mind that the Ranch has the right to appeal, but according to Bruce the appeal would be in Catron County."

"You may want to think about a donation to the Law Center as a “thank you” to Bruce for all he has done for us to get us to this victory," Pittman said. "He has charged us nothing for his time and he worked very hard for us. In addition he kept his expenses as low as he could."

Donations may be sent to:

New Mexico Environmental Law Center
1405 Luisa Street, Suite 5
Santa Fe, NM 87501
