After learning Replenish Big Bear will not fill the lake or add to the groundwater recharge, do you still support the project as is?

The Replenish Big Bear project Environmental Impact Report shows the project will not fill the lake nor will it contribute to groundwater recharge unless partner agencies pay to have it pumped into and out of the ground. Replenish Big Bear only allows for a new wastewater treatment plant, the treatment of wastewater and the disposal of water either to Lucerne Valley or Stanfield Marsh.

I understood this was the project from the beginning and still support it.

I understood the plan as something different but I still support it.

I don't know. I'm still unsure how this project will help the valley.

I understand the plan now, don't support it but do support a water sustainability program.

I understood the plan to be something totally different than what's been learned. I do not support this project.
