Project Narrative
The Ukiah Valley Groundwater Basin is located in the North Coast hydrologic region with a
basin area of 37,508 acres (California Department of Water Resources, 2014). It is located in the
southeastern Mendocino County (Fig. 1), along the Coast Range geomorphic region where the
geology of the region consists of Cretaceous -aged Franciscan Formation, Pilocene and
Pleistocene Continental basin deposits, Pleistocence Terrace deposits, and Quaternary Recent
Alluvium (California's Groundwater Bulletin 118, 2004). Groundwater has important
interactions with the Russian River and its tributaries. The main water use in this region is for
agriculture; the basin contains 9,361 acres of irrigated land with 1,689 existing wells. Municipal
water use is also important, according to the 2010 census the population in the Ukiah Valley was
32,761 residents. Precipitation and surface water infiltration are the main sources of groundwater
recharge. The groundwater basin has been reported to have a storage capacity of 90,000 AF that
is generally recharged each year, with the exception of dry years (MCWA, 2010). Through time,
it is noted that the groundwater elevations have remained constant, although during times of
drought, the groundwater levels may decrease (Fig. 2). The groundwater levels are known to be
at their highest during March/April and lowest during October. Of the wells located in this
region, only one of its wells is at or below the historical low. As of the spring of 2014, no
subsidence has been documented on the groundwater basin, but the estimated potential for land
subsidence has been reported to be medium to high.

Figure 1. The Ukiah Valley Groundwater Basin is the yellow area surrounding the city of Ukiah. From the
CASGEM Groundwater Basin Prioritization Process the basin was classified as medium priority.
According to the Water Supply Assessment for the Ukiah Valley Area Plan, 2,500 AF to 5,500
AF of groundwater is pumped annually to meet agricultural water demands, whereas
approximately 2,000 AF of groundwater is used annually for the municipal water demands
(MCWA, 2010). Annually, it is estimated that 7,500 AF of groundwater is pumped from the
groundwater basin. In contrast, the water supply reliability study for Mendocino Lake estimated
the annual surface water demand to be approximately 23,632 AF and the annual groundwater
demand to be approximately 7,333 AF for the year 2014. The groundwater use of 7,333 AF
obtained from the water supply reliability study for Mendocino Lake, roughly coincides with that
estimated by the Water Supply Assessment for the Ukiah Valley Area Plan of 7,500
AF/year. However, further research is needed to distinguish what portion of the groundwater
extraction is used to meet agriculture, municipal and industrial water demands and the amount of
water that accounts for groundwater recharge into the basin.

In 2009, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) launched the California
Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring (CASGEM) Program to monitor groundwater
basins (groundwater table elevations) throughout California (California Department of Water
Resources, 2015). DWR developed the CASGEM Groundwater Basin Prioritization process to
classify groundwater basins and sub -basins as high, rnedinrn, low, and very low priority by using
the following criteria: overlying population, projected growth of overlying population, public
supply wells, total wells, overlying irrigated acreage, reliance on groundwater as the primary
source of water, impacts on the groundwater; including overdraft, subsidence, saline intrusion,
and other water quality degradation, and any other information detennined to be relevant by
DWR. For each criterion a score from 0-5 was assigned, and the overall basin ranking score (the
sum of scores for each criterion) identified the overall basin priority considering the thresholds
provided in the table below. The Ukiah Valley Groundwater Basin was classified as rnediacrn
priority (Fig. 1), as a result of an overall basin priority value of 15.8 (See Appendix Al, A2 and
A3).

In 2014, the California Governor Jerry Brown signed the Sustainable Groundwater Management
Act (SGMA). This new legislation provides a foundation for local authorities to manage their
groundwater in a sustainable manner. The new legislation further requires the formation of
groundwater sustainable agencies (GSA) that will monitor their groundwater basin and
implement water management plans. The GSAs have 20 years to practice their groundwater
management plan and achieve groundwater sustainability while protecting surface water and
groundwater rights (Association of California Water Agencies, 2015). SGMA requires that
the regional aeencies, or the GSA, develop Groundwater Sustainabilitv Plans (GSP) for the
groundwater basins that were classified as medium or highrip oritX through the CASGEM
program, such as the case of the Ukiah Valley Groundwater Basin.
The objective of this proposed study is to develop a hydrologic characterization of the Ukiah
Valley Groundwater Basin to provide a science -based foundation of information and
knowledge for groundwater management purposes. The main goals of this project are:
1) Objective: Describe the main hydrologic characteristics of the Ukiah Valley Groundwater
Basin
Task: Organizing and collecting information on the basin geography, summarizing the
basin hydrogeology, and water demand calculation, water table elevations, land use,
precipitation, water use, water infrastructure, streamflow data, among other data.
Products: (a) a report that describes the main hydrologic characteristics of the Ukiah
Valley Groundwater basin, (b) a list of the data sources, and (c) a geodatabase with the
information collected.
2) Objective: Develop a water budget that relates water demand and water supply, as well as
a predictive model that evaluates what will happen if the current groundwater
management continues and if alternative water management strategies are implemented
Task: Build a mass balance model that represents the interactions between water
demands, water supply and change in storage
Product: (1) a mass balance model that characterizes groundwater behavior of the Ukiah
Valley Groundwater Basin, and (2) a time -series analysis about how groundwater
changes with respect to water supply sources and water uses

The data distribution for each data component was evaluated and divided into six ranges, having
a value of 0-5. For each basin, each data component was assigned a store ac=rding to its -
corresponding ranking range. The Total Wells data component values were reduced by 25% due
to data confidence, prior to calculating total groundwater basin ranking value,
The table below illustrates how the data distribution for each data component was divided into
ranking ranges, and their corresponding score.

The overall basin ranking is a calculation of the stores for each of the 8 criteria, using the
following formula: overall Basin Ranking - Population + Population Growth + Public Supply
Wells + (Total Wells x .75) + Irrigated Acreage + [(Groundwater Use + % of Total Supply)/2)
+ Impacts + Other information.
The data distribution of the basin ranking was evaluated and divided into four ranges to establish
the basin priority of Very Low, Low, Medium, and High. The basin priority ranking ranges are
