Amended Groundwater Sustainability Plan, Tri-County Water Authority – Tule Subbasin
Geosyntec Consultants (Geosyntec) | July 27th, 2022
The Tule Subbasin submitted six GSPs, including one for the Tri-County Water Authority, in January 2020 to the Department of Water Resources (DWR). DWR was required to determine whether the GSPs conformed
to the specific requirements of SGMA. DWR issued a single determination letter for the Tule Subbasin commenting on all six GSPs. 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 revised GSPs by July 27, 2022. The TCWA is submitting this 2022 Amended GSP to address the three deficiencies outlined in the determination letter.
