Yolo Subbasin Groundwater Agency 2022 Groundwater Sustainability Plan

Yolo Subbasin Groundwater Agency’s implementation of the GSP will begin in 2022 after adoption and official submission of the plan to the Department of Water Resources. The YSGA intends to form Advisory Committees for each Management Area to construct a framework for on-the-ground implementation of the plan. These Advisory Committees will provide a forum for collaboration of YSGA members and stakeholders to facilitate an adaptive response to local issues and to develop the roadmap for successful plan implementation. The Advisory Committees will provide a timely response to minimum threshold exceedances or other identified concerns and prioritize local implementation of projects and management actions. Advisory Committees will be comprised of an equal representation of stakeholders, including agricultural, urban, and environmental representatives. These local committees will provide an opportunity for information sharing, innovation, and the collaborative development of adaptive management practices. Updates from the Management Area Advisory Committees, progress of project implementation, and other YSGA activities will be posted regularly on the YSGA website and will be published in an annual newsletter. This is just the beginning of ensuring sustainable management of groundwater resources in the Yolo Subbasin. The GSP is considered a living document that will be adaptively managed as we continue to use the best available science and tools to complete ground surveys and access credible and sufficient data for making effective decisions. The YSGA and the stakeholders in the Subbasin are committed to an open, transparent, and all-inclusive process to resolve important local issues related to groundwater. This is an exciting opportunity to work together to preserve this valuable community resource and ensure the well-being of Yolo County.

Due to size, the GSP file has been divided into four parts.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
