1. The Tule Subbasin is working to finalize a locally controlled alternative to a State Water Board pumping moratorium — the timeline is tight. The top priority across the subbasin is producing a coordinated Friant-Kern Canal subsidence urgency plan by December 2026, with implementation targeted for spring 2027. If the subbasin GSAs cannot present a credible local alternative, the State Board could impose a blanket pumping moratorium. A first technical meeting with the State Board is scheduled for September 30, and all required materials were submitted by September 16.
