Remark:- Denied >>Appealed >><<Refused>>

Environment Protection Agency, US (EPA) - Dated:- 28 Dec, 2011

Remark:- Denied >>Appealed >><<Data not Available>><<Suggested for USGS>><<Appeal Denied>>


I have received a Letter from Environmental Protection Agency, United States dated 8 March, 2012 mentioned "that denial of the appeal was after the decision of Mindy G. Eienberg, Acting Director, Drinking Water Protection Division, Office of Groundwater and Drinking Water, Office of Water of the U.S. Environment Protection Agency under FOIA Application for the information regarding any correlation between seismic activity, 'Melting Glaciers' and 'Immense Pumping' and 'Groundwater Depletion'.

In the decision Ms. Eisenberg indicated that EPA did not have any records responsive to your request. Your appeal appears to request an explanation concerning the adequacy of the search conducted to uncover the records requested."

Mr. Eisenberg stated, "I have carefully reviewed your request and EPA did not have any existing records responsive to your request. In responsive to your appeal EPA has affirmed it's no records, that is confirmed after EPA conducted a reasonable search for responsive records in a manner that would reasonably uncover all the relevant documents requested. In addition, I have determined that EPA has diligently, reasonably, and adequately undertaken searches to uncover additional records responsive to your request under the FOIA.

She further stated, "In accordance with U.S.C.# 552(a)(4)(B), you have the right to seek judicial review of the determination by the instituting an action in the district court of the United States.........."


U.S. Geological Survey Center (USGS) - Dated:- 16 Feb, 2012

Remark:- In process >><<Acknowledged>><<Provided Information on Point 11 of FOIA Application>>


U.S. Geological Survey Replied on point no. 11 of FOIA Application.

Point No. 11 

Provide the details of zones/states/countries around the world those are severely affected by Groundwater Depletion and declared under Dark Zones.



Special Comments:
As the Principal Forces of "Centripetal Force" and "Centrifugal Force" are responsible for the shape of Whole Universe and Revolving of our planet Earth around the sun. We have to measure the overall impact on the basis of Principle of physics, those cannot be ignored.


I request all to raise this issue with dedication and conceptually to save our "Planet Earth". We have lost every thing when we lost precious ground water or Glaciers.

If the said cause are established genuinely then we have solution to protect everything, otherwise all efforts are going futile, when the experts said that till date we have not conducted relevant Study and Data's are not available, since we are loosing everything as life line of Groundwater. How can we could protect environment as well as our Earth.
