Top 3 Key Takeaways

Phase 2 Rules and Regulations Adopted: The board approved comprehensive Phase 2 rules and regulations that establish new self-reporting deadlines and procedures for the 2026 reporting period and beyond. Cover crop and self-directed fallowing must be reported by June 30th each year, while surface water and recharge reporting is due within 30 days of the reporting period end (November 30th). These rules also formalize the process for registering recharge facilities with the GSA before credits can be earned. For the current 2025 water year, the reporting window will open after the Sept 25 workshop and extend into November and December.
