A wide-ranging letter from J.G. Boswell Company Vice President Jeof Wyrick accuses SJV Water of misrepresenting the farming giant’s plan to deal with subsidence. … Wyrick is also the chair of the El Rico Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA). … El Rico doesn’t plan to sink Corcoran by another 10 feet, according to Wyrick’s Aug. 12 letter. Just six feet. It may be relevant to note that El Rico’s plan would possibly lower the Corcoran levee, which protects the town and two state prisons, to a height of 186 feet.
