Presentation by LSCE
Following consultation meetings with DWR, GSA staff and the consultant team will present potential solutions to address the deficiencies identified in the determination letters. Potential solutions for each deficiency are outlined below:
Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels
• Update model with new data and evaluate future and historical conditions in 5 year update.
• Re-evaluate assumptions, overdraft estimates, and determine source of data variations reported in annual reports.
• Investigate PMAs for alternate water supplies and develop a detailed well mitigation program.
• Create management zones enforced through well ordinance and permitting.
Degradation of Water Quality (Antelope Subbasin only)
• Review sustainable management criteria for nitrate and establish a monitoring network.
Overdraft Conditions
• Update model with new data and evaluate future and historical conditions in 5 year update.
• Re-evaluate assumptions, overdraft estimates, and determine the source of data variations reported in annual reports.
• Investigate PMAs for alternate water supplies and develop a detailed well mitigation program.
• Create management zones enforced through well ordinance and permitting.
Projects and Management Actions - Estimated recharge and costs will be presented for projects and management actions in the Corning and Red Bluff Subbasin.
• In-Lieu Recharge
• Demand Reduction
• Direct Groundwater Recharge
