East Kaweah Groundwater Sustainability Agency 2024 Second Amended Groundwater Sustainability Plan

Following submittal of an initial notification in 2017, EKGSA began development of the initial Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) to comply with SGMA’s statutory and regulatory requirements and initiated planning by engaging with stakeholders and holding public meetings. Since, the GSA had adopted a revised 1st Amended GSP in 2022 and this 2nd Amended GSP in 2024 to address comments and plan deficiencies identified by the Department of Water Resources and State Water Resources Control Board. This GSP includes greater protections for the most vulnerable beneficial users, uses and property interests through revised sustainable management criteria (SMC), coordinated methodology between GSAs and surrounding Subbasins, consistency between different sustainability indicators’ SMC and a clarified sustainability path with predictive modeling to evidence the feasibility and likelihood that the Kaweah Subbasin will eliminate overdraft (achieve sustainability) by 2040.
