San Antonio Creek Valley Groundwater Basin Groundwater Sustainability Plan

The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), effective as of January of 2015, created a new statewide framework for managing California’s groundwater at the local level through the formation of Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs). SGMA requires the development and implementation of a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) for each groundwater basin in the state that has been designated as high or medium priority. A GSP presents strategies for maintaining or bringing a groundwater basin into a sustainable condition within the next 20 years. SGMA exempts de minimus pumpers (e.g., individual domestic well owners who extract up to 2 acre-feet per year [AFY]) from most of the SGMA requirements and does not require metering. The San Antonio Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency (SABGSA) was formed in 2017 for the purpose of sustainably managing groundwater and developing this GSP for the San Antonio Creek Valley Groundwater Basin (Basin). The SABGSA member agencies are the San Antonio Basin Water District and Los Alamos Community Services District. The Basin occupies approximately 123 square miles in western Santa Barbara County (see Figure ES-1). It is bounded on the north by the Casmalia Hills and Solomon Hills, on the east by the San Rafael Mountains and a watershed divide separating the adjoining Santa Ynez River Valley groundwater basin, on the south by the Purisima Hills and Burton Mesa, and the west by the approximate western boundary of Barka Slough. This GSP describes the physical setting of the Basin; quantifies historical, present, and future water budgets; develops quantifiable management objectives that account for the interests of the Basin’s beneficial groundwater uses and users and identifies a group of projects and management actions that will allow the Basin to achieve sustainability within 20 years of plan adoption. This document also includes the list of references and technical studies, documentation of the stakeholder engagement process undertaken in the development of this plan, and several supporting appendices. Due to size, the file has been divided. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6

The primary goal of the San Francisco Bay Hydrologic Region (San Francisco Bay region) groundwater update is to expand information about region-specific groundwater conditions for California Water Plan Update 2013 and to guide more informed groundwater management actions and policies. A second goal is to steadily improve the quality of groundwater information in future California Water Plan (CWP) updates to a level that will enable regional water management groups (RWMGs) to accurately evaluate their groundwater resources and implement management strategies that can meet local and regional water resource objectives within the context of broader statewide objectives. The final goal is to identify data gaps and groundwater management challenges that will guide prioritizing of future data collection and funding opportunities relevant to the region. This regional groundwater update is not intended to provide a comprehensive and detailed examination of local groundwater conditions, or be a substitute for local studies and analysis. Nonetheless, where information is readily available, this update does report some aspects of the regional groundwater conditions in greater detail.

San Joaquin Valley Drainage Monitoring Program 2006 - 2010

This report shares valuable information about agricultural drainage water in order to increase the understanding of its potential impacts and improve its management in the San Joaquin Valley. The Drainage Monitoring Program is a cooperative effort of State, federal, and local agencies.  Program staff collect, assemble, review, evaluate, and disseminate data on both the quality of drainage water as well as the depth of shallow groundwater in the San Joaquin Valley.  Fifty-two drainage sump systems are monitored for flow, sodium, sulfate, total dissolved solids, selenium, and other constituents.  Staff also combine the Department of Water Resources' data with data from over 10 other agencies for this report. DWR used depth information, gathered from approximately 1200 shallow groundwater wells, to draw Present and Potential Drainage Problem Areas Maps for the period from 2006 through 2010.  These maps show over one million acres of potentially impacted lands.  Data provided by several agencies, including the Buena Vista Water Storage District, Central California Irrigation District, Firebaugh Canal Water District, Kern County Water Agency, Panoche Water and Drainage District, San Luis Canal Company, Westlands Water District, and DWR was combined to create the maps. DWR also drew electrical conductivity (EC) maps from ECs measured in about 690 of those wells for the years 2009 and 2010.  All off the maps help inform managers of potential drainage problems in their areas due to encroachment of shallow groundwater.  The number of agencies participating is a reflection of the significance of drainage problems in the San Joaquin Valley and the potential impacts. This report focuses on five years of data collection and compilation for the calendar years 2006 thought 2010, with a special focus on historical arsenic, boron, and selenium.  In addition, pesticide and nutrient data have been added to this report for your use..

This document fulfills the GSP development requirement for the SLO Basin. This GSP describes and assesses the groundwater condition of the SLO Basin, develops quantifiable management objectives that account for the interests of the SLO Basin’s beneficial groundwater uses and users, and identifies a group of projects and management actions that will allow the SLO Basin to achieve and maintain sustainability in the future. GSP approved by DWR 4/27/23

San Pasqual Valley Groundwater Basin Groundwater Sustainability Plan

The San Pasqual Valley Groundwater Sustainability Agency (SPV GSA), which comprises the City of San Diego (City) and the County of San Diego (County), developed this Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) to comply with California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) and its requirement to sustainably manage the San Pasqual Valley Groundwater Basin (Basin). SGMA,  which became effective January 1, 2015, provides a framework to regulate groundwater for the first time in California’s history by requiring local agencies to form GSAs and providing those GSAs with the necessary tools to manage ground-water use (California Water Code [CWC] Section 10720, et seq.). The overarching aim of SGMA is to establish and achieve the “sustainability goal” for the Basin through the development and implementation of a GSP. SGMA defines sustainable groundwater management as “the management and use of groundwater in a manner that can be maintained during the planning and implementation horizon without causing undesirable results” (CWC Section 10721). The GSP is required to include measures to achieve sustainable conditions by 2042. The City Council and the County Board of Supervisors each adopted the Memorandum of Understanding: Development of a Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the San Pasqual Valley Groundwater Basin establishing the SPV GSA as the single multi-agency GSA for the Basin. The Memorandum of Understanding further clarified the collaborative approach to developing and implementing the GSP with stakeholders’ input. SGMA requires both the County and City to adopt this GSP by January 31, 2022. Similarly, future GSP amendments must be adopted by both the City Council and County Board of Supervisors. While groundwater use in the Basin is currently sustainable, this GSP includes monitoring requirements, established thresholds, and projects and management actions that, once implemented, would ensure the sustainable management of groundwater resources in perpetuity.
