Pilot Groundwater Extraction Fee Program Approved: The Board unanimously approved moving forward with a groundwater extraction fee program (Alternative 2) that will charge growers for pumping groundwater above a threshold to be set annually by the Board. This pilot program aims to reduce groundwater overdraft by making pumping more expensive beyond certain limits, encouraging more surface water use or land retirement. David's Engineering will develop the detailed program structure and return to the Board for final approval.
