US: Salty groundwater major problem for Temecula Wine Country planning
Apr 4, 2011 6
The aquifer below Temecula Valley Wine Country may lack the capacity to absorb more salt without degrading water quality, and the consequences could hamper efforts to add large wineries. A state board has enacted new restrictions on the size of septic systems for new wineries. The rules have greatly hindered winery projects in the planning stages, said Mitra Mehta-Cooper, a Riverside County planner who deals with Wine Country issues.
