Martindale Springs
MVIHES, in partnership with GW Solutions and Christopher M. Stephens, Consulting, did some preliminary GPS mapping and observation of the springs that residents alerted us to near the top of Martindale Road and the railway tracks. These residents would like the springs to be acknowledged and protected as their wells may connect to this water.
As Christopher Stephens noted in his report, "It is clear from an assessment of the 40 degree slope where these springs, seeps, wet soil spots and single 3 meter by 3 meter pool at WP 247 are located that this environment is a release site for groundwater which interacts with the surface water based ecosystem present and may be contributing to flows in the Englishman River."
This is a water feature that warrants more attention.
