In 2013, the Town of Sahuarita signed a Right-of-Way encroachment agreement with Rosemont Copper Company, now owned by Hudbay Minerals, that allows the mine developers to install an underground water pipeline along Santa Rita Road within the town limits. Rosemont stated in the agreement that it would replenish 105% of the groundwater it pumps with Central Arizona Project water. The agreement requires the CAP water to be recharged into the aquifer in the same area from where it is pumped. There is no feasible way for Hudbay to recharge 105% of the groundwater with CAP water. The Town should immediately hold a public hearing to gather evidence of whether Hudbay can fulfill the terms of the agreement. Please take action to protect our community from the devastating impacts of the Copper World Mine.
