Five-Year Periodic Evaluation and GSP Amendment Process Underway for 2027: The committee is beginning a comprehensive review of the 2022 Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP), with submission due January 2027. This evaluation will assess progress toward sustainability goals, incorporate updated basin data from new monitoring wells and models, and address required corrective actions from DWR including revisions to water quality criteria and interconnected surface water standards. The amendment will provide a clear implementation path for projects and management actions affecting the Corral de Tierra management area.
Limited Project Options for Corral de Tierra Area: Staff indicated that project options for the rural Corral de Tierra management area remain challenging, with high costs relative to small benefits. The large-scale Brackish Groundwater Restoration Project scenario that could have benefited Corral de Tierra is not cost-effective due to the limited number of end users, so staff expect demand management to be a major focus for this area.
