Behind the front, lower temperatures and decreasing humidity levels will bring relief from the recent heat. South of the front, hot air will hold over much of the Midwest and in the mid-Atlantic one more day. Locally heavy thunderstorms will affect the upper west coast of Florida, while the Texas and Louisiana coast will receive spotty afternoon thunder- storms. Much of the rest of the South will remain free of rain. Bright sunshine and very warm condi- tions will prevail over the Plains.

It would be the first such action taken this year un- der tight drought restric- tions, officials said Wednes- day. Sugar Pine Spring Wa- ter, located in the foot- hills of Tuolumne County, also faces fines of nearly $225,000 for collecting and trucking the water to commercial bottling com- panies for two consecu- tive years despite notices to stop, according to the state Water Resources Control Board's proposed sanctions. In California's fourth year of historic drought, residents statewide are being told to cutback, and thousands of farm- ers have been notified they must stop using waters as streams and rivers run dry, or face stiff penalties. This is the first such action that state regu- lators have taken this year against a firm in the commercial water bot- tling business, said Kathy Mrowka, the state's water rights enforcement man- ager. The state earlier this year proposed a $1.5 mil- lion fine against the Byron- Bethany Irrigation District east of the San Francisco Bay Area, accusing it of taking water despite sim- ilar drought restrictions. The district is challenging the case. Springs tapped by Sugar Pine Spring Water feed into the Tuolumne River water- shed and drain into New Don Pedro Reservoir. The city of San Francisco and farmers in Turlock and Oakdale irrigation districts rely on the watershed, the complaint says. Sugar Pine Spring Water was launched in the early 1990s and holds junior wa- ter rights, which have been curtailed in 2014 and 2015 because of drought. Scott Fahey, the owner of Sugar Pine Spring Wa- ter, continued to divert wa- ter for 170 days in the last two years after being noti- fied no water was available under his rights, the com- plaint says. Water captured from four springs is piped to a transfer station and trucked to commercial bot- tling firms, the complaint says. The firms are not identified in a complaint and Mrowka declined to name them. Fahey can challenge the state's action before they take effect. Fahey and his attorney, William Barrin- ger, could not be reached immediately for comment. Officials say that Fahey has refused requests to show state inspectors his operations behind locked gates on a remote road. Investigators mounted surveillance cameras out- side the gates, capturing tanker trucks traffic. They reported seeing tanker trucks rumble past them during a 90-minute visit in July to the business to download images from the cameras, the complaint says. Residents of the North- ern California commu- nity of Mount Shasta op- posed plans earlier this year by Crystal Geyser to tap an aquifer at the base of Mount Shasta. They said it threatened to de- plete nearby wells and the aquifer, which feeds head- waters of the Sacramento River. The firm said there was plenty of water available. State regulators did not intervene. DROUGHT RESTRICTIONS St at e fin es o wn er o f spr in g wa te r fir m The Associated Press LOS ANGELES A NASA satellite launched seven months ago has lost use of one of two science in- struments, but the agency says the mission to map global soil moisture will continue. NASA said Wednes- day that its radar stopped transmitting on July 7 be- cause of an amplifier prob- lem, and an anomaly team was formed at Jet Propul- sion Laboratory to de- termine if it could be re- stored. An attempt to power up the radar on Aug. 24 was unsuccessful, and it was determined that it was not recoverable. The satellite — dubbed Soil Moisture Active Pas- sive — was launched on Jan. 31. Science operations began in April, and it col- lected nearly three months of data with the radar. NASA says some appli- cations of data will be af- fected, but the satellite will still produce valuable sci- ence. TECHNOLOGY New NASA soil moisture satellite loses instrument Thankyou!
