Tulare Lake Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan — Amended

The Tulare Lake Subbasin submitted a single GSP in January 2020 to the Department of Water Resources (DWR). DWR was required to determine whether the GSP conformed to the specific requirements of SGMA. In a letter dated January 28, 2022, DWR determined that that the GSP is incomplete. DWR stated that the GSP was considered incomplete as it “does not define undesirable results or set sustainable management criteria for groundwater levels, subsidence, and water quality in the manner consistent with SGMA and the GSP regulations.” Upon receiving the incomplete determination, the Subbasin had 180 days to address the identified deficiencies and submit a revised GSP by July 27, 2022. The GSAs are submitting this 2022 Amended GSP to address the three deficiencies outlined in the determination letter. The 2022 Amended GSP consists of clean and redline strike out versions of the 2020 GSP and the attached 2022 GSP Addendum. The 2022 GSP Addendum was prepared to specifically address the incomplete determination letter from DWR. Sections of this document have been edited since the original submittal in 2020 and direct the reader to the Addendum for further details.
