DraftState of GSP Topics and Decisions
DraftGSP look ahead◼June 9: discuss comments with TAC◼Tech Team will include comments and finalize GSP draft◼July 2: draft GSP distributed to Board and TAC◼July 8: Board meeting --> factsheets with key information for each chapter◼July 15: Public Meeting →Explain commenting process◼July 23: comments duefrom Board and TAC◼Technical team will include comments◼First week of August draft out for PUBLIC REVIEW for 30 days3
DraftUpdate from DWR on Submitted GSP Reviews◼DWR published its review of 4 basins on June 3rd:⚫Santa Cruz Mid-County →Approved with recommended corrective actions⚫Paso Robles →Incomplete with recommended corrective actions⚫Cuyama Valley →Incomplete with recommended corrective actions⚫Salinas Valley 180/400 Foot Aquifer →Approved with recommended corrective actions◼We reviewed these letters and summarized what we need to learn and adjust in our GSPs.◼We have used Santa Cruz Mid-County majorly as a model for our GSP due to similarities in ISW conditions. We have also used Cuyama for the same reason.4
DraftDWR Review Process5-Overall a good plan-Already approved-Need some additional information or action-Corrective actions before thenext five-year plan update
DraftDWR Review Process6-DWR could not determine compliance-Corrective actions required within 180 days-If not, it will be inadequate
DraftDWR Review Process7-significant gaps that will take more than 180 days for the GSAto address.-Can trigger the state intervention process-SWRCB Public hearing →Probationary Basin-1 year to remedy probationary designation-If not, SWRCB interim plan until local GSA gets anapproved plan
DraftGeneral Approval Requirements from DWR Letters◼Overall principles for approval of a GSP:⚫The Plan was submitted within the statutory deadline of January 31, 2022⚫The Plan is complete, meaning it appears to include the information required by the Act and the GSP Regulations sufficient to warrant a thorough evaluation by the Department. ⚫The Plan covers the entire Subbasin. →We are in compliance⚫The Plan conforms with Water Code §§10727.2 and 10727.4 in the Act, substantially complies with the GSP Regulations, and is likely to achieve the sustainability goal for the Basin. →Details will be explained in the next slide◼Important Note: “GSAs are required to evaluate their GSPs at least every five years and whenever the Plan is amended, and to provide a written assessment to the Department. Accordingly, the Department will evaluate approved GSPs and issue an assessment at least every five years.”8
DraftGeneral Approval Requirements from DWR Letters◼To comply with GSP Regs and achieve sustainability goal we should ensure:⚫SMCs are sufficiently justified and explained.⚫Plan relies on credible information and science to quantify GW conditions.⚫Through understanding of data gaps and demonstrate a commitment to eliminate them.⚫PMAs are reasonable and commensurate with the level of understanding of the basin setting and appear feasible and reasonably likely to mitigate overdraft.⚫Provide a detailed explanation of:◼how the varied interests of groundwater uses and users in the Basin were considered in SMCs◼how those interests, including domestic wells, would be impacted by the minimum thresholds.⚫Provide a reasonable level of confidence that the Agencies have the legal authority and financial resources necessary to implement the Plan. ⚫Adequately respond to comments that raised credible technical or policy issues with the Plan9

DraftInformational Slides
DraftBasin Specific Notes From DWR Reviews that Relate to Ukiah Valley Basin GSP 14◼Plan Area and Basin Setting (Chapter 2)⚫Include details about how communications will be conducted during Plan implementation.⚫Clearly respond to comments about HCM and Basin setting from public: Shallow aquifer was requested to be a principal aquifer for management of GDEs. DWR sided with the GSA since production from the shallow aquifer did not yield significant economic quantities of GW.◼Data Gaps: The Plan should demonstrate a thorough understanding of where data gaps exist and a commitment to eliminate those data gaps⚫DWR let the GSA gain better understanding of depletion and ISW by increasing the monitoring network and also improve their model accordingly.⚫Data gaps should be prioritized during implementation, provide a description of what is required to fill the data gaps, and establish a schedule to fill the prioritized data gaps. New information and Data should be incorporated in the plan.⚫DWR approved the GSP although the model (SVIHM) was not still complete and asked for revision when it is completed.Santa Cruz GSP (Approved)Cuyama GSP (Incomplete)Paso Robles GSP (Incomplete)Salinas GSP (Approved)
DraftBasin Specific Notes From DWR Reviews that Relate to Ukiah Valley Basin GSP 15◼SMCs and Undesirable Results: General Principals⚫DWR requires a thorough and reasonable analysis of the GW conditions to avoid, and be specific about those conditions that are considered undesirable. Ex: Domestic wells ⚫GSA should clearly analyze stated rationale for setting quantitative SMC and how they would prevent undesirable conditions from occurring.◼Monitoring Networks⚫Provide clear strategyand details of wells and gages needed to complete the networks and the implementation schedule. Monitoring network data gaps cannot go unaddressed in the implementation.⚫Detailed yearly progress updates was recommended to be provided to DWR toward expanding the networks in the annual report.⚫The Plan identifies the lack of well construction information (e.g., the depth of well screens or the total depth of the well) for many groundwater quality monitoring wells as a data gap. The implementation chapter of the Plan simply states that “[d]uring implementation, the SVBGSA will obtain any missing well information, select wells to include in monitoring network, and finalize the water quality network.” Department staff recommend the SVBGSA provide updates on the progress toward filling this data gap in its annual reports and that more details be provided in the first five-year assessment of the Plan.Santa Cruz GSP (Approved)Cuyama GSP (Incomplete)Paso Robles GSP (Incomplete)Salinas GSP (Approved)
DraftBasin Specific Notes From DWR Reviews that Relate to Ukiah Valley Basin GSP 16◼GDEs & ISWs⚫Plan should sufficiently explain the evaluation of GDEs and how the proposed management program for surface water will likely limit significant and unreasonable impacts to beneficial uses and users. GSA, through implementation of the Plan, intends to maintain depletions at or below conditions observed prior to 2015. Based on the above rationale, the Department determines that GSA considered public trust resources in development of the Plan.⚫The GSP states the surface water flows in the Subbasin over the period of record are “[e]phemeral” and “[t]here are no available data that establish whether or not the groundwater and surface water are connected through a continuous saturated zone” when describing current and historical groundwater conditions. Citing such “insufficient data to determine whether surface water and groundwater are interconnected,” the GSAs accordingly do not develop sustainable management criteria. The GSAs state “[d]efinitive data delineating any connections between surface water and groundwater or a lack of interconnected surface waters is a data gap” and provide a general schedule for surface and groundwater investigations in areas of potential interconnectivity planned over the next four years, with a $400,000 budget.⚫However, above information contradict water budget and other aspects showing leakage in the basin. If the GSAs cannot provide a sufficient, evidence-based justification for the absence of ISW, then they should develop SMC, accordingly.Santa Cruz GSP (Approved)Cuyama GSP (Incomplete)Paso Robles GSP (Incomplete)Salinas GSP (Approved)
DraftBasin Specific Notes From DWR Reviews that Relate to Ukiah Valley Basin GSP 17◼Water Quality (WQ) SMC⚫DWR was fine with constituents that naturally occurred exceeding objectives. They need to be at least monitored if they are not considered for SMCs. Department staff believe that setting the minimum thresholds at the state drinking water standards for all representative monitoring sites is reasonably protective.⚫DWR determined more work needed to appropriately define the scope of evaluation of WQ undesirable results and asked for such to be done in 5-year update.⚫DWR found that the approach to focus only on WQ impacts associated with GSP implementation is inappropriately narrow. Department staff recognize that GSAs are not responsible for improving existing degraded WQ conditions. GSAs are required to manage future GW extraction to ensure that GW use subject to its jurisdiction does not significantly and unreasonably exacerbate existing degraded WQ conditions.⚫DWR recommend that the GSA coordinate with the appropriate WQ regulatory programs and agencies in the Subbasin to understand and develop a process for determining when GW management and extraction is resulting in degraded WQ in the Subbasin.⚫DWR did not agree with not setting SMC for Nitrate and Arsenic although they exceeded MCLs. DWR required them to be at least monitored routinely.Santa Cruz GSP (Approved)Cuyama GSP (Incomplete)Paso Robles GSP (Incomplete)Salinas GSP (Approved)
DraftBasin Specific Notes From DWR Reviews that Relate to Ukiah Valley Basin GSP 18◼Chronic Lowering of GW Levels (GWE) SMC⚫MTs were set relative to shallowest near well. DWR requested better inventory and definition of active wells and impacts to them in annual reports since the plan indicated some shallow wells may be impacted if MTs are reached.⚫Preventing GWE lower than 2015 is deemed reasonable. Plan should provide credible and thorough assessment of impacts to domestic wells.⚫GSA provided general statements about undesirable results and generic description of the effects of them. It did not explain specific significant and unreasonable conditions it tries to avoid.(We need to revise). GSP should explain why such effects were selected for undesirable results or how the GSAs determined that they will be avoided by managing to the established criteria for chronic lowering of groundwater levels.⚫GSP use 30 percent of monitoring wells going below MTs for 2 consecutive years for GWE, storage, WQ, subsidence, and depletion. But it fails to explain why this is consistent with avoiding significant and unreasonable effects. (We are using a similar approach and should consider this)⚫We need to be specific, explain thoroughly and provide quantitative measures. We need determine specific things we want to avoid and show how maintaining levels above MTs would avoid that.Santa Cruz GSP (Approved)Cuyama GSP (Incomplete)Paso Robles GSP (Incomplete)Salinas GSP (Approved)
DraftBasin Specific Notes From DWR Reviews that Relate to Ukiah Valley Basin GSP 19◼Reduction in GW Storage (Storage) SMC⚫DWR approved setting the minimum threshold as the long-term sustainable yield as reasonable, protective approach against overdraft and the long-term reduction of groundwater storage. ◼Subsidence SMC⚫Santa Cruz and Salinas GSPs were very similar to Ukiah. No historical subsidence explained through available DWR data and no measuring points in the Basin. They used two different approaches, and both were acceptable.⚫GSP avoided setting SMC and instead will monitor using DWR data. If subsidence occurs they will do actual measurements and monitoring.⚫GSP set MT as -0.1 ft per year which is the error margin of InSAR dataset.Santa Cruz GSP (Approved)Cuyama GSP (Incomplete)Paso Robles GSP (Incomplete)Salinas GSP (Approved)
DraftBasin Specific Notes From DWR Reviews that Relate to Ukiah Valley Basin GSP 20◼Depletion of ISWs (depletion) SMC⚫Plan explains uncertainty and data gaps and complexities with using GWE for depletion SMC. Then, they assign shallow GW levels as proxy for MTs. They used the model to show complexities of correlating depletion with pumping and other impactful components. DWR approved their method and SMC due to using best information and science available at the time and appropriately proposed actions to cover data gaps. ⚫Plan state the current level of estimated depletions are considered potentially significant but not unreasonable. The Plan states that “since flow requirements were being met under the 2007 biological opinion, surface water depletion rates were not unreasonable with regards to maintaining environmental flow requirements.”⚫DWR focused on Plan’s rationale not to exacerbate depletions since SVIHM was not yet fully available.⚫DWR asked for annual calculation of depletion instead of only on five-year reviews. DWR also required further actions during the review to complete characterization of ISWs and calculation of depletion.⚫DWR proposed corrective action to explain and justify the use of GWE for depletion.⚫DWR had issue with using all the GWE thresholds it defined for chronic lowering of groundwater levels regardless of depth of the well or proximity to surface water.
