The Board, convening as the CWD Groundwater Sustainability Agency, discussed a resolution formalizing the district's commitment to a Groundwater Demand Management (GDM) program. This resolution is required of all four GSAs in the sub-basin before April 1 and is described as the "primary mechanism" to avoid probationary status with the State Water Resources Control Board. The GDM program establishes the framework for potential future extraction fees and mandatory measures in designated "zones of implementation," though no specific zones or fees have been enacted yet — the district is keeping this tool ready to deploy if and when needed.
