  • A recent analysis indicates a troubling **5-foot drop in water levels** in a nearby well since 2018, raising concerns about habitat sustainability.
  • Environmental activists argue that the **U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service** is delaying necessary protections under the **Endangered Species Act**.
  • Despite these concerns, officials, including those from Lithium Americas, assert that there is no current evidence supporting adverse impacts on groundwater levels.
