1. Updated Modeling Shows Reduced — But Still Present — Indirect Depletion Events That Could Affect Pumping Management The agency's updated groundwater model shows that depletion events (where pumping causes stream flow at Foster Park to drop below the 2 CFS minimum threshold) are generally smaller, and some events are no longer predicted compared to what was originally projected in the GSP. However, several events remain, particularly during drought conditions. The agency plans to perform detailed modeling on selected events (Event No. 3 and combined Events 6–8) to determine how shutting off specific groups of wells at different lead times would affect stream flow — information intended to inform future policy decisions and potential pumping management approaches, including for upstream users.
