1. New SGMA Fee Structure Approved — Here's What Ag Operators Will Pay

The board adopted the new Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) fee schedule. All parcels in the sub-basin will pay a Part 1 fee of $20.50 per parcel for GSA governance and administration. For agriculture, the Part 2 fee is $15.58 per cropped or managed wetland acre for most ag users, or $13.26 per acre for those using South Feather Water & Power or Feather River direct diversions. Critically, you are only charged on acres that are actively cropped or managed as wetlands — acres not being used are not assessed. Grazing land pays only the Part 1 flat parcel fee and no Part 2 acreage fee.
