The board unanimously approved Lower Tule's share of a $1.4 million cost-share MOU and scope of work to develop a coordinated technical basis across the Tule Subbasin. This work—covering subsidence analysis, basin setting, monitoring network expansion, and related technical coordination work (including groundwater quality mitigation plan updates)—is aimed at resolving technical disagreements (particularly with Delano) that have kept the subbasin on state probation. Without demonstrable coordination progress, state board staff could impose an interim plan around 2027. Delano has not committed to participating or paying as of this meeting; staff stated other GSAs intend to move forward, with many taking it to their boards this week.
