I would like the Dept of State to visit and see where the pumping station location is planned for Holt County, Nebraska. It is covered in waters of the Ogallala Aquifer saturated at ground level. I took a picture of a deer splashing up water as it ran across the pristine meadow. This water connects to the water just feet below with only sandy soil between. Everybody here obtains their drinking water, untreated and unfiltered, from the aquifer. One leak at this site and many private wells could be permanently contaminated.
