1. Response to State on Seawater Intrusion Plans Approved with Edits The board approved sending a revised response letter to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) regarding the 180/400 Sub Basin GSP periodic evaluation and amendment. The letter incorporates the board's prior selection of a project portfolio to address seawater intrusion, along with several technical edits requested by board members — including clarifying that seawater intrusion and land subsidence carry different risk levels, noting varying degrees of hydraulic connectivity between sub basins, and acknowledging that reservoirs provide both surface water and groundwater benefits. Staff was given discretion to finalize the language and submit it by the September 15 extension date requested from DWR.
