Vision: adequate water for community and environmental needs, showing our groundwater is in good condition, adequate groundwater water for environment, ag and domestic, balanced use
of groundwater, having enough information to know if we have a problem and can address them. Keep the regulation local and avoid high levels of reg. No negative changes from existing
variability. Balancing supply and demands and
preserving environmental needs and in stream flows. Looking at larger recharge options for the Ukiah Valley
Overarching goal(s): Resilience to changing climate and planning for the future…having a contingency plan
Coordination among users and conservation among all users
Worst-case scenario: avoid extra regulation, avoid over pumping so existing wells can continue to be used. Avoid fighting among users. Meters on all pumps, fees for use, limit time of
use.

Feedback: take Nickel off list, acknowledge Boron, use MCL for thresholds with trends for trigger and relying on existing networks for water quality and if we see trends going up consider
more sampling. Look at data from the city to look at what they sample for and if there is anything we are missing that should be added.
