1. Public Comment Letters on the GSP Could Affect State Review — Committee Recommends Review Four commenting entities — Friant Water Authority, California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, State Water Project, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife — submitted comment letters during the 75-day public review of the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). Key concerns include subsidence impacts to the Delta-Mendota Canal, interconnected surface water protections, and environmental/ecosystem impacts. The committee recommended repurposing existing EKI budget funds (from Task 4, originally earmarked for reviewing adjacent basin GSPs and annual reports) to conduct a thorough review of these comments and develop a recommendations matrix for DM Subbasin JPA consideration. EKI noted reviewing these comments could help inform coordination with DWR during its GSP review.
