Major GSP Update and Amendment Coming in 2027
The committee reviewed a comprehensive timeline for the 2027 Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) periodic evaluation and a planned amendment. This is a significant milestone involving deep analysis of the past five years of data to ensure the basin stays on track for sustainability by 2042. The amendment will address recommended corrective actions from the Department of Water Resources (DWR), including revisions to water quality standards, interconnected surface water criteria, and domestic well protections. Staff emphasized this is a major work effort that will incorporate updated groundwater models, new monitoring well data, and refined sustainable management criteria throughout the coming year leading up to the 2027 submittal.
