Spring Evaluation and Development

The Mill Creek Environmental team has evaluated over 2000 springs in the Southeastern United States and Canada for possible development of spring water resources for bottled water. The US FDA has established specific regulations for bottled water in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR), including standard of identity regulations (21 CFR 165.110[a]) that define different types of bottled water, such as spring water and mineral water, and standard of quality regulations (21 CFR 165.110[b]) that establish allowable levels for contaminants (chemical, physical, microbial and radiological) in bottled water. Our extensive spring water resource experience includes spring location, evaluation, development, permitting, protection and long term management.
