Coyote Springs NV Developer Continues Water Fight

 Harvey Whitmore Coyote Springs Nevada developer continues his fight for water rights that his Tuffy Ranch Properties LLC filed for in March of 2005. Fifty four water rights were filed with the water engineer to change existing underground water rights. These water rights are located 100 miles away from Coyote Springs NV in Lake Valley Nevada and are currently for irrigation and Tuffy Ranch Properties LLC is trying to change to domestic use for the development at Coyote Springs Nevada, a project located 50 miles north of Las Vegas Nevada. Harvey Whitmore has stated this water would amount to 20% of his water needs for the Coyote Springs NV project.

 White Pine County and the Federal Bureau of Land Management have protested this application. The Coyote Springs development resides mainly in Lincoln County and small portion in White Pine County. My question is do we care for the ranches and environment or are we really jockeying for more revenue from Harvey Whitmore? I guess I would do the same if I was White Pine County. Harvey Whitmore asked for a hearing as soon as possible and was granted a hearing on March 31st of 2008. My question to Harvey is..... do you really need this much water...... or are you positioning yourself to be one of the eventual power water brokers in the state of Nevada. Even if his coyote springs development project did not take off the ground, he could recoup millions maybe billions of dollars from his water right acquisitions. Sure would be a lot less trouble than building a city in the desert. Just thinking out loud.
