Introduction
This Project Communication Plan (CommPlan) is developed to promote the efficient and
effective coordination of internal/external communications and stakeholder engagement in the
Ukiah Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency (UVBGSA) effort to develop a
Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). The CommPlan will serve as the primary guideline for
addressing the requirements outlined in Department of Water Resources (DWR) Groundwater
Sustainability Plans (GSP) Regulations Section § 354.10:
“Each Plan shall include a summary of information relating to notification and communication
by the Agency with other agencies and interested parties including the following:
(a) A description of the beneficial uses and users of groundwater in the basin, including the land
uses and property interests potentially affected by the use of groundwater in the basin, the types
of parties representing those interests, and the nature of consultation with those parties.
(b) A list of public meetings at which the Plan was discussed or considered by the Agency.
(c) Comments regarding the Plan received by the Agency and a summary of any responses by the
Agency.
(d) A communication section of the Plan that includes the following:
(1) An explanation of the Agency’s decision-making process.
(2) Identification of opportunities for public engagement and a discussion of how public
input and response will be used.
(3) A description of how the Agency encourages the active involvement of diverse social,
cultural, and economic elements of the population within the basin.
(4) The method the Agency shall follow to inform the public about progress implementing
the Plan, including the status of projects and actions.”
The CommPlan serves as the communication and engagement plan for the Ukiah Valley Basin
(UVB) GSP and is developed in response to the following requirement of the DWR evaluation
criterion in GSP Regulations Section § 355.4.b.(4):
“Whether the interests of the beneficial uses and users of groundwater in the basin, and the land
uses and property interests potentially affected by the use of groundwater in the basin, have been
considered.”
The CommPlan will be updated as needed throughout the project term. This will ensure th at up-
to-date information related to project communication is contained in the CommPlan. The
CommPlan will be accompanied by a web-based Communication and Engagement (C&E) tool to
streamline its implementation. The C&E Tool will contain a communication tracking system to
document outreach and engagement activities, compile mailing lists, and summarize
communications with stakeholders. It will be used in the implementation of the CommPlan and
evaluation and assessment of its effectiveness.

DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES (DWR) POINT OF CONTACT
All high and medium priority groundwater basins in California are assigned a Point of Contact
(POC) from the DWR Region Offices. POCs assist GSAs and stakeholders in the basin to
connect with the statewide Sustainable Groundwater Management Program and to locate
resources for assistance. POC information for the Regional Office corresponding to the UVB
GSP is shown in Figure 1. Mr. Aaron Cuthbertson from the Division of Integrated Regional
Water Management of the DWR North Central Region Office is the POC for this GSP and can
be reached via email at: Aaron.Cuthbertson@water.ca.gov

Goals and Desired Outcomes
In August 2014, the California Legislature passed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
(SGMA), which went into effect January 1, 2015. SGMA, a package of three bills (AB 1739
Dickinson, SB 1168 Pavley, and SB 1319 Pavley), requires the long-term and sustainable
management of groundwater resources and places this responsibility on local authorities.
Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) were required to be formed by June 30, 2017 as
the responsible authorities for developing GSPs and achieving SGMA’s implementation goals
and mandates.
The key objective of the Ukiah Valley Basin GSP will be to address groundwater sustainability
by designing strategies that avoid and prevent undesirable results to regional groundwater
resources over the next 20 years, and beyond. Because SGMA requires local stakeholders and
beneficial users to be part of the GSP planning and implementation process, the UVBGSA will
identify and engage stakeholders to integrate their input into the decision-making, coordination,
and management processes. Specific processes are not outlined for the consideration of these
interests in the legislation and it is upon the UVBGSA to define such processes. However,
SGMA specifically requires public meetings to be held during the GSP development and
implementation when:
• When the GSA intends to adopt or amend a GSP (CA Water Code Section § 10728.4);
• Prior the GSA imposing or increasing a fee (CA Water Code Section § 10730.(b)(1))
In order to meet these requirements, UVBGSA is implementing an adaptive management
strategy as explained in detail in the sections below. This strategy contains three phases: (1)
planning, (2) implementation, and (3) evaluation/response, and is intended to work
fundamentally as described in the Community Water Center whitepaper4 on this topic. For the
planning phase, this CommPlan will serve as the document for communication and engagement
in the GSP development and will be updated as necessary. For the implementation phase, the
methods and strategies to be used are described in the Communications Strategy Section.
Finally, for the third phase, the Evaluation and Assessment Section identifies questions to
assess the effectiveness of the C&E plan and to deliver effective and comprehensive responses.
UVBGSA AND UVB GSP
In May 2017, UVBGSA was created to by a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) to serve as the
official GSA for the UVB to comply with SGMA. Under the agreement, the UVBGSA shall take
actions deemed necessary to ensure sustainable management of the UVB, as required by
SGMA5.
The UVBGSA consists of a variety of local public agencies with water supply, water
management and land use responsibilities. These include the County of Mendocino, the City of
4 Dobbin, K., Clary, J., Firestone, L., Christian -Smit, J. (2015), “Collaborating for Success: Stakeholder Engagement
for Sustainable Groundwater Management Act Implementation.” Prepared by community water center.

Ukiah, the Upper Russian River Water Agency, and the Russian River Flood Control and Water
Conservation and Improvement District. The boundaries of these agencies are shown in Figure
2. The County of Mendocino exercises land use authority on the land overlying the basin. The
City of Ukiah is a local municipality that exercises water supply, water management and land use
authority within the City’s boundaries. The Upper Russian River Water Agency is a JPA
representing Millview County Water District, Willow County Water District, Calpella County
Water District, and Redwood Valley Water District. The County Water Districts have water
supply and water management responsibilities within the UVB. The Russian River Flood Control
and Water Conservation and Improvement District is a special district created by State statute
(State of California Statute, Act 4830). The District exercises water supply and water
management authority within the UVB.
The UVBGSA Board also includes a tribal representative and an agricultural representative, as
noted in Table 1. Representation by these stakeholder groups on the Board of Directors was a
decision made by the members of the JPA.
In accordance with SGMA priorities established by DWR, the UVBGSA must develop and
submit its GSP by January 31, 2022; the plan must include actions to maintain or achieve
sustainability within twenty years of the GSP’s adoption. The information contained in the GSP
will comprehensively characterize the conditions in the UVB, determine strategies for
sustainably managing groundwater resources, satisfy the requirements of SGMA, be consistent
with Emergency Regulations and guidance prepared by DWR, be implementable by stakeholders
of the UVB, and describe monitoring and reporting to DWR. Moreover, in order to reach the best
outcome for the GSA and local stakeholders, and to satisfy SGMA requirements, all beneficial
uses and the interests of beneficial users of groundwater must be considered through the active
involvement of local stakeholders.

UVBGSA DECISION-MAKING PROCESS
The general voting procedure of the UVBGSA is outlined in the JPA. Each member of the Board
has one vote. Unless otherwise specified, all affirmative decisions of the Board require the
affirmative vote of a simple majority of all the Board’s Directors participating in voting,
provided that, if a Director is disqualified from voting on a matter before the Board because of a
conflict of interest, that Director shall be excluded from the calculation of the total number of
Directors that constitute a majority. The Board of Directors shall strive for consensus of all
members on all items.
With respect to GSP development, the above-mentioned procedure will be used for all subjects
that require Board’s action.
The LWA Team, the Board, and the TAC have come up with a preferred method of
communication with regards to GSP deliverables and additional matters that need the Board’s
approval and/or the TAC’s involvement and direction. As a soft arrangement, meaning the
timeline can be adjusted respective to the task in hand, the LWA Team will provide a month for
the TAC to review a document or elaborate on a subject that is scheduled to be acted upon in the
upcoming meeting. GSA Board will be provided with at least two weeks advance time before an
official review/presentation of a document for approval at a Board meeting. As explained, all
efforts will be made so that discussions and/or presentations are conducted in the TAC and
Board public meetings to facilitate input from stakeholders and interested parties. In addition,
key documents will be available in advance on County’s website or via the C&E Tool,
whichever appropriate, as a working draft document. Comments made by the TAC, the Board, or
by the public will be addressed in a reasonable timeline (if possible up to the next public
meeting) and the final draft of the deliverable will be presented and action taken by the Board in
the next scheduled meeting. This procedure is illustrated in Figure 3.
During all public meetings, time constrained opportunities will be offered for the public to
comment on all public agenda items. In addition, an opportunity for public comment on items
not on the agenda will be provided.
Figure 3. General review process of deliverables.
COMMUNICATION OBJECTIVES TO SUPPORT THE GSP
The UVBGSA will strive to build broad support for key elements of the GSP and will facilitate
the effective engagement of stakeholders and beneficial users of groundwater to achieve the best
outcome for its GSP. The following are the guiding principles of the GSP communication
strategy:
➢ Inform the public with balanced information to assist them in understanding the issues
to be addressed, alternative management measures, opportunities, and/or solutions.
DRAFT - GSP Communications Plan
Page 9
➢ Consult with the public by obtaining feedback and public comments on analyses and
decisions. UVBGSA will encourage the public to be involved in the decision-making
process since they are affected by the GSP and can influence the outcome.
➢ Involve beneficial users and work with them throughout the process to ensure that their
concerns, aspirations, and their overall input is understood and considered.
➢ Collaborate with stakeholders in the decision-making process including the
development of management alternatives and identification of preferred solutions.
➢ Empower the members of the GSA by fully considering their priorities and sufficiently
implementing them in the GSP.
➢ Inform all engaged on how their input affected the decision.
➢ Ensure process integrity and transparency.
➢ Utilize facilitation and outreach methods that minimize the cost and environmental
impacts of travel.
➢ Leverage available technological platforms to increase collaboration and efficiency.
➢ Maintain appropriate alignment between engagement, content development, and project
management.
Details of the methods and strategies used to accomplish these objectives are laid out in the
following sections.
OVERRIDING CONCERNS, MAJOR CONCERNS OR CHALLENGES
A challenge in developing and implementing the GSP is the time constraint that may limit the
capability to build relationships and underlying trust between all sectors of the public involved
and/or affected by the GSP. UVBGSA made the necessary efforts through several public
meetings, adequate outreach and notices, and involving major beneficial users in its board of
directors during the formation of the GSA. The GSP development process brings about new
challenges that will need broader involvement and trust to be established. Conflicting interests on
the use of the shared resources may arise that can only be resolved through an effective decision-
making process. It is also possible that needs and interests of particular stakeholders may change
throughout the development process, complicating the dynamics of the planning process. The
CommPlan and its thorough implementation will assist the UVBGSA in overcoming these types
of challenges.
In addition, public outreach and stakeholder engagement takes time and resources to be done
well. This can become a significant challenge since both the time and the resources available to
the UVBGSA are limited. However, the Board believes that its planned strategies and venues of
engagement will enable its communication and engagement efforts to be effective. The Board is
confident that a balanced and effective investment in effective communication and engagement
will lead to improved outcomes, optimized resources, broad support, and reduced conflicts,
which subsequently outweighs its respective cost.
Stakeholders Involved in the Project
SGMA (CA Water Code Section § 10723.2) and GSP Regulations Section § 354.10.(a)
collectively require the UVBGSA to consider interests of all beneficial uses and users of
groundwater basin and provide a description of those users and uses, the types of parties
representing those interests, and the nature of consultation with those parties. Table 3
DRAFT - GSP Communications Plan

summarizes the list of stakeholders identified by the UVBGSA. This list will be updated as
necessary.

METHODS FOR PROMOTING ACTIVE STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT
As UVBGSA moves towards developing its GSP, it will initially focus on stakeholder
identification and assessment. The LWA Team will conduct stakeholder interviews at the outset
of the planning effort to understand the interests, concerns, opportunities, and resources that exist
in the stakeholder community. During the GSP development process, the Board will evolve its
outreach efforts by identifying additional stakeholders, understanding their interests and
concerns, and providing a transparent and responsive communication venue for their
engagement. This will happen through the following approach:
• Develop and maintain an updated interested parties’ list through UVBGSA stakeholder
identification and outreach, voluntary subscription, and e-notification system.
• Conduct interviews with key stakeholders at the outset of the GSP planning effort.
• Hold regular public meetings of the UVBGSA Board and the TAC, encouraging public
participation through County website and the C&E Tool. Convene a collaborative
decision-making process through public meetings with the goal of building a shared
understanding and reducing conflicts. This will provide an additional venue for interested
parties to get involved in the more technical side of development and implementation of
GSP.
• Provide alternative opportunities for stakeholders or interested parties that face more
barriers to participation such as holding interviews with the LWA Team, translated
materials, evening meetings, etc.
• Use the C&E Tool as the web-based tool to provide increased access to data and
information in a user-friendly form. Provide emails/newsletters to interested parties
updating them on newly developed documents or information and seeking their
participation and/or comments.
Methods outlined above will help UVBGSA conduct the implementation phase of its adaptive
management strategy.
USE OF PUBLIC INPUT AND RESPONSE
The Board’s success in implementing their adaptive management strategy will depend, in part,
on how it responds to public input. Moreover, a recognizable employment of the public input
boosts engagement and increases the trust in the process and plan. The UVBGSA will respond to
constructive public comments and concerns and demonstrate how they shaped the outcome at
hand. Efforts will include:
• Making draft deliverables provided for the TAC or the UVBGSA review available to the
public to materialize a more fruitful public discussion during the public meetings
scheduled for deciding on those deliverables.
• Publishing Board-approved draft final GSP Chapters for public comment with reasonable
commenting periods. If necessary, responses to comments will be published to elaborate
on how they were implemented or considered in revising the documents.
• Continued implementation of the methods for promoting active engagement of the public
with a focus on obtaining comments and responding to concerns.

As explained in the previous sections, UVBGSA will use a multitude of communication methods
to convey information and obtain input from stakeholders. The applicability of each method will
depend on the goal of the intended communication. As a general rule of thumb, the
communication strategy is divided into external and internal communications as explained
below. UVBGSA will implement a comprehensive communication and engagement plan that
meets SGMA requirements and will try to optimize its strategies in external and internal
communications to maximize the end benefits.
INTERNAL COMMUNICATION
Internal communication is defined as any communication between and among the UVBGSA
Board members, Mendocino County, the TAC or other convened committees, and the LWA
Team that is necessary to keep the planning effort moving forward and to execute the scope of
services articulated in the contract with the LWA Team. The Board, County, and the TAC will
convey internal communications among their own members or with each other using their
preferred methods such as emails, phone conversations, etc., consistent with applicable
regulatory requirements. If a meeting is arranged between any combination of the three, notes
will be taken and kept on record by an assigned member of the participants. The LWA Team will
take and keep notes of the meetings with the Board and the TAC. These notes will be made
available following the approval of the Board via the C&E Tool. The LWA Team will provide
monthly progress reports to the Board.
EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION
External communication is defined as any communication of the UVBGSA, the TAC, the LWA
Team, or any other committee with the public (which includes DWR POC). These
communications may occur through emails and newsletters, public meetings, mailed
flyers/brochures/advertisement, handouts, group interviews, and web-based communications
through the C&E Tool.
For all public meetings, including but not limited to regular Board and TAC meetings, agenda
for the meeting is posted online on the County website and subscribers to the e-notification
system are notified. Electronic flyer for the meeting is also included in the newsletter and
interested parties are notified through their preferred contact method. Meeting minutes are
recorded as the normal procedure of the Board and the TAC and will be posted afterwards on
County website. In addition, the LWA Team keeps record of all its communication with external
parties including group interviews. Those records will be available through appropriate
procedures if approved by the Board.
Online and web-based resources including the C&E Tool, County Website, and County Social
Media outlets are regularly updated and utilized for informing the public of the project status,
posting draft GSP Chapters, publishing notices, receiving comments, demonstrating how public
input is being implemented, disclosing results and data, and sharing news and updates.

Public Meetings
Currently scheduled public meetings are shown in Table 4. This schedule is subject to change as
the GSP development process progresses and the GSP development schedule is updated
(Appendix A). Meetings with the UVBGSA Board and the TAC are multi-purpose venues for
public engagement and outreach. The LWA Team will provide progress reports at the meetings
unless directed otherwise by the Board; presentations for the Board members or the TAC may be
conducted to assist in the decision-making process or to provide for information to the public;
public comments regarding scheduled and non-scheduled items will be received; and, actions
will be taken and decisions will be made with regards to the GSP development and
implementation.

appropriately advertised through the County website, emails and newsletters, interested party list
subscribers, and postal mail or flyers.
Stakeholder Survey and Mapping
At the outset of the GSP development effort, the LWA Team will convene meetings with
identified key stakeholders to gather important information using a survey form tailored to the
UVB GSP effort.
The LWA Team will contact representatives for the key stakeholder organizations to learn more
about them, describe the GSP development process, and will invite them to engage in the
process. Prior to these meetings. the LWA Team will develop background information, maps,
and a stakeholder survey form. Follow up communications may be made to answer questions
that come up or to better understand stakeholder interests, issues, and challenges.
After the stakeholder surveys are completed, the LWA team will compile the information
received in a “Lay of the Land” document. This document will summarize information received
from stakeholders regarding initial concerns/issues, interests, challenges, preferred methods of
communication, and desired level of engagement.
Venues for Engaging
To achieve the goals and objectives of the CommPlan, the UVBGSA will utilize multiple
outreach venues as wells as broader communication tools. This will allow stakeholder
engagement at different levels best suited to stakeholder needs. The Board will use these venues
to provide regular feedback and updates and to receive comments. These venues are discussed in
previous sections and are listed below:
- Public meetings of the Board and Advisory Committees: for all interested parties.
Advertised and announced through appropriate means such as email newsletters,
interested parties subscription lists, e-notification system, flyers and banners, etc.
- Stakeholder interviews and/or work group meetings
- Community or regional forums: conducted on as needed basis by the UVBGSA, the
LWA Team, or appropriate public agencies identified by the Board.
- Public workshops/briefings: Conducted if deemed necessary by the Board with the help
of the LWA Team, DWR, and/or other appropriate public agencies for information
sharing and receipt of input.
- Digital venues: County website and the C&E Tool will be used as the main online
resources for conducting and tracking engagement and outreach activities. Emails and
newsletters will be delivered to the interested parties’ list and subscribers. Available
social media outlets will be used as needed.
- Mailing services: provided on as needed basis and may include one or a combination of
informational brochures, advertisement, flyers, handouts, etc.
C&E IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE
Implementation of the C&E Plan (CommPlan) will follow the timeline shown in Figure 4. The
implementation timeline is subject to periodic update and change dependent on the status of the
project and the GSP development schedule (Appendix A).

Figure 4. C&E implementation timeline.
Evaluation and Assessment
At key C&E milestones laid out in the C&E Implementation Timeline Section, the UVBGSA
will evaluate the effectiveness of its responses to the following questions:
• Is there a shared understanding of the GSP’s goals and its implementation timeline?
• Are stakeholders educated about the GSP development process and their own role?
• Has the GSA received positive press coverage?
• Do diverse stakeholders feel included?
• Has there been behavior changes related to the program goals? Or is improved
trust/relationships in evidence among participants?
• Has the CommPlan been implemented and updated?
• Has the interested parties’ list been expanded?
• Have there been well-attended and robust public hearings at all of the necessary
junctures?
• Are all established venues for stakeholders open and effective?
• Are there formal mechanisms to assess outcomes and make improvements?
Reviewing these results will help identify what worked well, what did not work as planned, and
to summarize lessons learned.
