1. The GSA's Groundwater Sustainability Plan Faces Critical State Review — Responses Due by October 1 The Department of Water Resources (DWR) provided extensive technical comments on the Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater Authority's (GWA) five-year GSP update, covering topics like declining groundwater levels, groundwater-dependent ecosystems, and interconnected surface water. Draft responses to all six areas of concern are being circulated among member GSAs for review and are expected to go before the GWA board on September 9 for presentation/board consideration before the October 1 deadline. A negative ruling from DWR could place the basin on probation, making these responses critical for the entire sub-basin.
