The committee authorized the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for technical consulting services to help develop the Corning Subbasin's groundwater demand management program. The demand management coordinating members stressed that without dedicated technical and legal support, program development lacks the data and support needed for key decisions. The RFP was expected to go out the next day after approval, with the bulk of work ideally completed by around October to support key program decisions and the overall scope noting work to be completed by December 31, 2026. Growers should be aware that this program will directly shape future groundwater use rules in the subbasin.
