DISTRICT (LBDPBID), APPROVING THE ASSESSMENT FORMULA AND LEVYING THE ASSESSMENTS. Community & Economic Development Director Souza Elms presented the staff report, which included a PowerPoint presentation which was presented in more detail by Emily Brown of Civitas.
Council Member Lewis inquired as to if there are property owners that have 1 vote or more, is it based on square footage for which Ms. Brown responded that it is essentially tied back to the amount they are paying, .31 cent per lot sq. footage. Ms. Souza Elms clarified that it is a percentage based on the contribution. Council Member Lewis inquired as to if some of the property owners not vote for which Ms. Souza Elms stated that the City Clerk will be tabulating shortly and will report out the results. Council Member Lewis added that there was not much appetite for change and this is what will be happening for the next 10 years forward, Ms. Brown stated that we set broad plans and the board of director set the more detailed plans. Council Member Lewis inquired as to what the property owners will be doing to enhance the downtown, i.e. buildings that are outdated for quite some time, the aim is to showcase the downtown as an extension to have a place of destination and opportunity for business, what will the existing business be doing to enhance the downtown to get more businesses and people into the downtown area, referring to a city that she left that has a very nice downtown and we have done nothing, for which Ms. Brown responded that it is all in the plan. Mayor Llanez stated that the City 21 Council has no authority to tell a business how to run their business, the management plan is supposed to be general and our purpose tonight is to approve this to allow them to move forward with what the decide. David Souza, Board Member of the Downtown Association and a property owner of a business downtown, stated that the annual budget is around $180,000 and the purpose is to act as a liaison between the city, ownership and new business and give them an open channel with City leaders and better a plan and expedite things, he has seen a huge improvement in the downtown in the last 4 years, he has been involved with other downtowns and it takes about 10-12 years to see a substantial change, with a limited budget we are able to do smaller projects with partnership with the City, working with business owners to help business owners with improvements, other city downtown associations had issues with not knowing who to go to and didn't have the connections like we do here in Los Banos. Council Member Lewis inquired as to what is the plan to work with the business owners to improve the downtown over the next 10 years for which Mr. Souza responded that we email our downtown group monthly, we have an open door policy and there is not really that much involvement, in the last 24 months we have most definitely decided where monies need to go, less in staffing and more into the downtown and partner with the City, not much you can do with a limited budget like this, it takes time, he can see a big transformation, the downtown entrance sign is coming and will attract people, and they are using the budget funds as efficiently as we can.
Mayor Llanez opened the public hearing. INAUDIBLE NAME, stated that they are against this, how it was sold as improvements, the money should be there as a loan program to change the look of the downtown, for fac;ade improvements, events being held downtown, she has not been happy with it, you have a full time city employee working on this, why isn't the Chamber of Commerce promoting the city, she objects to all the dollars having all the votes, the rich man gets everything, how the board is self-promoting and you can only get on the board if a board member selects you, taking care of those that have the dollars, she does not think this is the right way to spend our dollars, the city itself has a big percent of the vote and there is already 50% before we cast our vote, is that fair; UNNAMED PERSON, talk about video cameras and how she fell and 3 city workers were there when it happened, and not one person from the cameras did anything, she wants to bring sewing projects back to Miller & Lux for different age groups, Modern Mother Hubbard arts & crafts idea she has, new business in Los Banos Drug Store, she does not feel that the downtown association should be paying for the fireworks, the whole town should be helping to pay for all of the fireworks, downtown is small; TAYLOR WOLFSEN, spoke in favor of the LB PBID and spoke to the huge strives that had been made, i.e. new events that bring people downtown, many of the events are partnership with the City, tree trimming project and the archway sign, the PBID has offered all downtown merchants and property owners a more direct line of communication with City officials, successes have come with turbulent times, i.e. when Greg Hostetler reneging on his pledge of dollars, hit with COVID and events didn't happen during COVID, lost his friend Sharon Silva the PBID Executive Director to the PBID and regardless of these setbacks we have continued on, marketing is a goal and to those who are against it he would ask if you have been to a meeting, have you voiced your opinion, things can be darkest before the dawn and urges the City to pass the PSI D for the next 10 years. No one else came forward to speak and the Public Hearing was closed.
22 A brief recess was held so that the City Clerk could tabulate the PBID ballots, for which she did and announced each ballot voting individually out load for all to hear.

Mayor Llanez stated that with MCAG we 23 have open discussions with CalTrans and was very happy to report that the median at Badger Flat & Highway 152 has since been grated and the potholes filled, how Measure V helps, as leadership votes on projects and policies for the City of Los Banos not the State of California, they have full rule of State highways.

GREG HOSTETLER spoke regarding Vineyard Drive and how Brett Jones made a statement that was untrue a few meetings ago, which he should know better, referred to an agreement from 1998 that proves that he was wrong with his statement, funds were not to be comingled, where is the money, now you are meeting with CalTrans and people have lived there with no connection, spoke to an RFP on May 10, 2023 for Vineyard, the number of Public Works Directors that you have gone through, having public meetings to talk about this during election year, how you have not submitted your text messages, a law suit, and how only 89 emails have not been produced, the 2023/24 was $170 million budget, he thinks that you are financially illiterate, looked at some of your history and how Jones has filed bankruptcy with the Fresno Court and how you only made $850 a month, you refused to have a study session to review the budget for 2024/25, Council Member Lewis asked for a review and it was denied, the public has a right to see these things, it is bad business, how Jones was on Council when the City voted that his project was complete and he can't finish it he doesn't own it, park is not complete in the last 5 years and you have all the money, don't play it on me, have a nice meeting;

JOHN CATES addressed once again some of the positives that have gone on in the community over the year and a half or two, there have been quite a few capital projects that have been taken place that haven't been taken care of in years, one is the Animal Shelter and it is amazing that it has sat that long with nothing being done, a lot of criticism about broken processes and if you are outside City Hall how do you know that, how is that information getting out there, there are things getting out in the newspaper that he doesn't even know as a Planning Commissioner, growing up and becoming a mature retired guy there is this psychology that the simplest answer is the truth, the information is getting out to our media and shouldn't be getting out there, it's not this or that, is A to B, who is A and who is B, there is probably the largest of 2 projects in Ms. Lewis's District with her sitting on Council and why not sooner, he was here during budget review June 5th, the PBID item came up as a public hearing and how Ms. Lewis threw a fit because she wanted to talk about it and how the Brown Act doesn't allow for discussion, there are so many things going on, they would rather see the City fail than the City Manager and City Council succeed; NORMA BLACKWOOD spoke regarding the downtown parking and how generally these is not parking and how she depends on her customers being able to park, she has customers that need to be able to walk to her business, her brother lost his legs in Vietnam in his 20s, had to walk a block to get a haircut and never complained, the handicapped shouldn't have to do that, we have no handicap parking near my barbershop, she wants to know if there is anything that can be done for people who can't walk that far, she has talked to some of the merchants downtown and they feel the same way but couldn't be here.

Council Member Lewis noticed that the contract for the Cresthills Park on Pioneer flanking Gus Villata Road was signed in July 2023 and invoices are now just being submitted, is there a reason why this bill wasn't paid in FY 22/23 or in the FY 23/24 for which Mr. Bergson explained and Ms. Souza Elms stated that the invoices were only received in June of this year and staff brought them forward. Council Member Lewis inquired as to if the City date stamps their invoices when they receive them for which Ms. Souza Elms stated that would be a question that Finance Director would answer, but it would depend, as this was routed through the City Attorney's office and was received June 25, 2024. Mayor Llanez inquired as to if that is normal practice that they send us invoice that is that old that needs to be paid for which Ms. Souza Elms stated that Legal Counsel has been working with the developer on this reimbursement and we finally received all the documentation needed to move forward with payment.

TYPE OF REPORT: Consent Agenda Item
SUBJECT: Authorizing Award of Construction to Zoom Recreation in the amount of $173,997.00 for the Construction of Shade Structures at City Parks Recommendation:
That the City Council adopts the Resolution awarding the Construction Contract to Zoom Recreation and authorize the City Manager to execute the Construction Contract agreement in the amount of $173,997.00. Staff is requesting approximately 15% contingency for a total project budget of $200,000.00.
Background:
In November 2022, First 5 of Merced County released a grant opportunity to parks and recreation agencies in Merced County. First 5 is funded by revenues from tobacco related taxes and supports services for youth physical activity.
First 5 completed a county-wide needs assessment in April 2020 that identified obesity and other socio-economic factors that led to low park usage. First 5 sought proposals for improvements to park locations that would support the increased use of parks for ages 0 to 5.
Los Banos Parks and Recreation utilized priorities identified in the 2021 Parks Master Plan to apply for funding of shade structures over playground locations. The projects were intended to originally confom, to a $200,000.00 budget and successful completion within a one-year timeline.
33 The City proposed to install shade structures over playground structures.
Shade structures provide a direct benefit for Los Banos parks. The installation of shade structures will increase usage of parks and protect the longevity of the playground structures.
Shade sail structures include posts and a fabric sail. The fabric shade sails typically require replacement every ten years, while the poles have a longer life-span. They provide a cost-effective alternative to large shade arbor structures.
In May 2023, First 5 of Merced County awarded the City of Los Banos $445,000.00 for the installation of shade sail structures at five park locations. The grant is fully reimbursable, with no matching amount required by the City.
The locations include:
• Big Page Park, 1055 West I St.
• Davis Park, 254 Santa Ana St.
• Citrus Terrace I Park, 226 Citrus Ave.
• Meadowlands I Park, 2600 Wood Duck Dr.
• Ranchwood Park, 515 Stonewood Dr.

TYPE OF REPORT: Consent Agenda Item
SUBJECT: Authorizing Award of Construction to Ronnys Inc. in the amount of $999,856.50 for the construction of Sunrise Ranch Park
Recommendation:
That the City Council adopts the Resolution awarding the Construction Contract to Ronnys Inc. and authorize the City Manager to execute the Construction Contract agreement in the amount of $999,856.50. Staff is requesting a 15% contingency of $150,000.00 for a total project budget of $1,149,856.50.
Background:
The Sunrise Ranch subdivision is located near Los Banos Jr. High, between Place Rd.
East B St., and San Luis St. The subdivision includes an undeveloped parcel intended to be developed as a future park location.
The park is located within the boundary of Martin St., Manuel Ct., and Evelyn Ct. The proposed park is approximately 1 acre in size and includes fencing between neighboring homes on the south side of the park.
On September 12, 2023 City staff hosted a public meeting to discuss the development of the park location. The meeting was publicly advertised through the Community Center, the Parks and Recreation monthly newsletter, the Recreation Guide, Facebook and through a mailer sent to all neighboring homes to the park area.
Over 30 people attended the meeting. A presentation was provided for information relating to the benefits of parks, pocket park and neighborhood park standards, the Sunrise Ranch location and suggested and required park amenities. 47 City staff assigned the design and engineering services for the project to O'Dell Engineering (O'Dell). Staff from O'Dell attended the September 13, 2023 meeting and received copies of all public comments received.
City staff identified that the park will provide additional service area coverage. A playground, walking pathways and a shade structure were highlighted among the requests.
City staff identifies that the development of the park will help to establish identity and comradery for the health of the community. The development of parks provides important public resources for active lifestyles, helps to reduce anxiety and is a benefit to all age groups.
In December 2023, O'Dell provided three concepts and an estimate of probable costs for City staff's review. City staff identified a recommended concept and presented the concept to a Special Meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission for discussion on January 23, 2024.
Parks and Recreation commissioners were overwhelmingly positive about the concept.
The concept includes four ( 4) picnic tables, a shade structure, two (2) concrete corn hole sets, a half-court basketball court, a playground space including a free standing climbing option and a large embankment slide. The playground will be fenced and include an exercise station. Forty-five (45) trees will be planted on-site, and concrete pathways will provide access throughout the park.
The park proposed amenities provides a mixture of standard neighborhood park amenities such as a basketball court, playground and shade structure. While also providing unique amenities such as an embankment slide, climbing apparatus, exercise station and cornhole sets.
The park's amenities help to serve a wide-array of age groups including families, teens and seniors. Walking paths, basketball and the playground space will provide active spaces for all park users.
On February 7, 2024 the concept was presented to City Council and approved for design and development.
The park is funded from the Sunrise Ranch Park Fund, collected through impact fees related to the construction of housing in the subdivision.
Discussion:
The bid opening for the project was held on September 6, 2024. The Public Works Department, through the office of the City Clerk, received four ( 4) bids from the following contractors:
Contractor Location Amount
Ronnys Inc. Los Banos, CA $999,856.50
Granite Rock Company San Jose, CA $1,524,037.15
Westside Landscape & Newman, CA *$1, 134,117.20
Concrete, Inc.
48 Westside Landscape & Newman, CA *$1, 134,117.20
Concrete, Inc.
Taylor Backhoe Service, Inc. Merced, CA $1,460,430.19
*Westside Landscape & Concrete, Inc. had a discrepancy in the bid schedule for unit price. $1,134,117.20 was listed as the total bid, however, "in case of discrepancy between the unit prices and the extension thereof, the unit price shall be considered as correct when evaluating bids." The unit price for Bid Item 11 was incorrectly listed and would generate a bid amount of $348,612,469.20. For this reason, staff finds Westside Landscape & Concrete, Inc. as non-responsive.
Staff reviewed each of the bid proposals for completeness. Ronnys Inc. has provided the lowest responsive and responsible bid for the project. Staff is recommending Ronnys Inc. be awarded the contract for the construction of the Sunrise Ranch Park. Staff is recommending a contingency of fifteen percent (15%).
Work includes site preparation, installation of landscape, playground equipment, concrete, fencing and an electrical pedestal. Work is anticipated to begin in October 2024 and a completion date of April 1, 2025 is anticipated. Project acceptance is anticipated following a maintenance period to be completed by June 30, 2025.
Staff anticipates hosting a Grand Opening for the Park in Summer 2025.
Fiscal Impact:
The project has available budget of $1,375,000.00. The total project, including contingency is anticipated to cost: $1,149,856.50.

Agenda Staff Report
TO: Mayor & City Council Members
FROM: Charles Bergson, P.E., Public Works Director/City En DATE: September 18, 2024
TYPE OF REPORT: Public Hearing
SUBJECT: Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) Approval Recommendation:
That the City Council of the City of Los Banos acting as the City of Los Banos Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) receive the staff report, open the Public Hearing, and receive public comment, close the Public Hearing and adopt a resolution approving the Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the San Joaquin River Exchange Contractors GSP Group in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin (5-022.07) dated July 2024 as it pertains to the City of Los Banos GSA.
Background:
In August 2014, the California Legislature passed, and in September 2014 the Governor signed, legislation creating the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act ("SGMA") "to provide local groundwater sustainability agencies with the authority and technical and financial assistance necessary to sustainably manage groundwater" (Wat. Code, § 10720, (d)). SGMA requires sustainable management through the development of groundwater sustainability plans ("GSP"), whi.ch can be a single plan developed by one or more groundwater sustainability agencies ("GSAs") or multiple coordinated plans within a basin or subbasin (Wat. Code, § 10727). SGMA requires a GSP to be developed and implemented to manage groundwater in all basins designated by the Department of Water Resources ("DWR") as medium or high priority, including the Delta-Mendota Subbasin (basin number 5-22.07).
As an exclusive GSA for a portion of the Delta-Mendota Subbasin, the GSA has the authority to draft, adopt, amend, and implement a GSP (Wat. Code, § 10725 et seq.; § 10728.4). The GSA was originally a member of the San Joaquin River Exchange 137
Contractors GSA Group formed for the purpose of developing a GSP and coordinating sustainable groundwater management in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin (Wat. Code, § 10723.6(i)). The other GSAs in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin initially prepared separate GSPs for other regions of the Delta-Mendota Subbasin for a total of six GSPs covering the entire Delta-Mendota Subbasin (each, a "GSP Group"). The GSAs from all six GSP Groups entered into a Coordination Agreement effective December 12, 2018 (the "Coordination Agreement"), to comply with SGMA and ensure that the multiple GSPs within the Delta-Mendota Subbasin would be developed and implemented utilizing the same methodologies and assumptions, that the elements of the GSPs are appropriately coordinated to support sustainable management, and to show how the multiple GSPs will achieve the sustainability goal for the Subbasin. The Coordination Agreement also established a Coordination Committee composed of representatives from each GSP Group, outlined information sharing obligations, procedures for resolving conflicts, and designated the Authority as the Plan Manager for the Delta-Mendota Subbasin. On January 6, 2020, the Subbasin Plan Manager submitted the Coordination Agreement and the six GSPs.
On January 21, 2022, DWR completed its review of all the GSPs in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin and released a letter determining that the GSPs for the Delta-Mendota Subbasin as a whole were "Incomplete" and identified deficiencies and corrective actions for the GSAs in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin to take. Amended or modified GSPs addressing the corrective actions from each GSP Group had to be submitted to DWR by July 20, 2022. However, in its March 2, 2023 Determination Letter, DWR deemed the Revised 2022 GSP "Inadequate." The main concern of DWR was that the six GSPs were not truly coordinated and using the same data and methodologies.
Under SGMA, if DWR deems a GSP or GSPs inadequate, this triggers the State Water Resources Control Board ("SWRCB") intervention process. (Wat. Code,§ 10735 et seq.).
As such, in response to DWR's "Inadequate" determination and prior to the Basin's probationary hearing (which is currently scheduled for sometime in the spring 2025), the GSAs in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin signed and executed a Memorandum of Agreement (the "MOA") on December 11, 2023, superseding the 2018 Coordination Agreement.
Through the MOA, the Parties agreed to mutually cooperate to adopt a single GSP (the "2024 GSP") for the Subbasin, and to implement the GSP within their respective GSA territories. The 2024 GSP synthesizes, updates, and replaces content from the Revised 2022 GSPs and Common Chapter to address the Corrective Actions outlined by DWR in its March 2023 "Inadequate" Determination Letter. The MOA becomes effective upon the adoption of the 2024 GSP. The MOA establishes a Coordination Committee to provide a forum for the GSA Groups to work collaboratively and develop recommendations for technical and substantive subbasin-wide activities.
Discussion:
In response to the Inadequate Determination Letter, the Delta-Mendota Subbasin GSAs, through the Coordination Committee, hired EKI to help prepare one GSP. The Subbasin GSAs have revised the Sustainable Management Criteria (SMCs) and Undesirable Results (URs) definitions to be the same throughout the Subbasin and agreed to set water level minimum thresholds at 2015 water levels. Among other items in the GSP, the 138
monitoring network, modeling and coordination efforts were updated to be consistent amongst the GSAs. Representatives of the Subbasin GSAs met with DWR and SWRCB staff on several occasions to get clarification on what was needed to have an approved GSP. Several GSAs also participated in hosting tours for SWRCB Board members and staff so that they could see the "boots on the ground" issues in the Subbasin. Additionally, the Subbasin adopted a Domestic Well Mitigation Policy and Application that will be adopted as part ofthe 2024 GSP.
The 2024 GSP was jointly prepared by all 23 GSAs and the following seven GSA Groups, which are comprised of all 23 GSAs: the Aliso Water District GSA Group; the Farmers Water District GSA Group; the Fresno County Management Areas A and B (FCMA) GSA Group; the Grassland GSA Group; the Northern Delta-Mendota GSA Group; the Central Delta-Mendota GSA Group; and the San Joaquin River Exchange Contractors (SJREC) GSA Group. In June 2024, the Coordination Committee posted a draft of the 2024 GSP on the Subbasin's website for public comment and held public workshops regarding the revisions to the GSP. After considering public comments and upon further discussion, on July 22, 2024, the Coordination Committee unanimously recommended that all GSAs in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin adopt the 2024 GSP.
On March 20, 2024, the Los Banos City Council adopted resolution 6746 amending the City's existing MOU's with the 23 neighboring Groundwater Management Agencies and joined a new MOU to create a single Groundwater Sustainability Plan. This hearing is for the adoption of the new single Groundwater Sustainability Plan.
The GSA is now holding a public hearing to consider adoption of a resolution to adopt the 2024 GSP for the • Delta-Mendota Subbasin and authorize submitting it to the SWRCB and posting it on the Subbasin's website.
There has been a link provided on the City's press release to the entire Groundwater Sustainability Plan, including the appendix.
A Notice of Public Hearing regarding the approval of the GSP by the Los Banos Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) was published in the Westside Express on September 4, 2024.

ES.1. Introduction
On 16 September 2014, the California legislature enacted the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) for the primary purpose of achieving and maintaining sustainability within the State's high and medium priority groundwater basins. Key tenets of SGMA are the preservation of local control, use of best available data and science, and active engagement and consideration of all beneficial uses and users of groundwater. SGMA requires local agencies to form Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) that are tasked with managing basins sustainably through the development and implementation of Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs). Under SGMA, GSPs must contain certain elements, the most significant of which include:
• Sustainability Goal;
• Description of the area covered by the GSP (i.e., the "Plan Area"); • Description of the Basin Setting, including the hydrogeologic conceptual model (HCM), historical and current groundwater conditions, and a water budget; • Locally-defined Sustainable Management Criteria (SMCs}; • Monitoring networks and protocols for monitoring each applicable sustainability indicator; and • Description of projects and/or management actions (P/MAs) that will be implemented to achieve or maintain sustainability.
SGMA also requires active stakeholder outreach to ensure that all beneficial uses and users of groundwater have the opportunity to provide input into the GSP development and implementation process. The organizational structure of the Delta-Mendota Subbasin (Basin) GSAs and GSA Groups is shown in Figure ES-1.

Executive Summary
Delta Mendota Subbasin GSP
DELTA ..
MENDOTA
SGMA
The Basin is one of 21 basins and subbasins identified by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) as in a "critically overdrafted" condition. This designation triggered an accelerated timetable for SGMA compliance, including GSP development by 2020 and achievement of sustainability by 2040.
In compliance with this timeline, the Basin GSAs submitted six GSPs, a Common Chapter, and a Coordination Agreement to DWR in January 2020 (2020 GSPs). DWR designated the 2020 GSPs as "incomplete" in January 2022 and identified four main deficiencies. In June 2022, the GSAs amended and resubmitted the six GSPs to DWR to address the identified deficiencies (2022 GSPs). In March 2023, DWR made a finding of "inadequate" after reviewing the 2022 • GSPs and determined that the Basin had sufficiently addressed only one out of the four deficiencies. As a result, the Basin is subject to the state intervention process defined in SGMA regulations and under California Water Code (CWC) §10735 et seq.
The first formal step of the state intervention process will be a public hearing convened by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to consider designating the Subbasin as probationary based on any specific deficiencies in its GSP that remain unresolved at the time of hearing.
In response to DWR's "inadequate" determination, the 23 Basin GSAs collectively agreed to develop a single GSP for the Basin that synthesizes, updates, and replaces content from the 2022 GSPs and Common Chapter to address the Corrective Actions outlined by DWR. This single GSP has been developed to meet the SGMA regulatory requirements, respond to DWR's deficiencies, respond to comments provided by SWRCB staff during multiple consultation meetings, address public comments, and increase existing coordination among the Basin's 23 GSAs. This GSP provides a path to achieve sustainable groundwater management in the Basin and reflects a comprehensive approach by the Basin GSAs to correct the deficiencies identified by DWR, avoid probation with the SWRCB, and maintain local control of the Basin.
DWR identified three main deficiencies with the 2022 GSPs and identified Corrective Actions. Since submittal of the 2022 GSPs, the GSAs have incorporated substantial revisions into this single GSP in coordination with DWR and SWRCB staff. Revisions made in response to DWR's Corrective Actions are further detailed in Section 1.2 of this GSP.
• Deficiency #1: The GSPs do not use the Same Data and Methodologies. • Deficiency #2: The GSPs Have Not Established Common Definitions of Undesirable Results in the [Delta-Mendota] Subbasin.
• Deficiency #3: The GSPs in the [Delta-Mendota] Subbasin Have Not Set Sustainable Management Criteria in Accordance with the GSP Regulations.
In addition to revisions that were made to address DWR Corrective Actions, the GSAs updated this GSP to incorporate current data and information through Water Year (WY) 2023 and made revisions that address comments brought up during more than 10 consultation meetings with SWRCB and DWR staff and GSAled tours of the Basin with SWRCB members and staff to provide "boots on the ground" demonstrations of GSA efforts towards sustainability.
The Basin GSAs strongly believe that the revised GSP adequately addresses DWR's deficiencies and reflects a high degree of coordination between the Basin GSAs, DWR and SWRCB staff, and Basin stakeholders.
The Basin GSAs may exercise all powers granted to GSAs under SGMA to provide the maximum degree of local control and flexibility consistent with the Basin's Sustainability Goal as set forth in this GSP, including but not limited to all of the authorities provided in Chapter 4 (commencing with ewe § 10723), Chapter July 2024

ES.2. Sustainability Goal
The Sustainability Goal adopted by all GSAs in the Basin is as follows:
"The Delta-Mendota Subbasin will manage groundwater resources for the benefit of all users of groundwater in a manner that allows for operational flexibility, ensures resource availability under drought conditions, and does not negatively impact surface water diversion and conveyance and delivery capabilities. This goal will be achieved through the implementation of the proposed projects and management actions to reach identified measurable objectives and milestones through the implementation of the Groundwater Sustainability Plan(s) (GSP[s]), and through continued coordination with neighboring subbasins to ensure the absence of undesirable results by 2040."
ES.3. Plan Area
The Basin encompasses approximately 765,000
acres at the northwestern end of the San
Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin within
portions of San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced,
Fresno, Madera and San Benito Counties. As
shown in Figure ES-2, the Basin shares
boundaries with nine adjacent groundwater
basins. To the north are the medium priority
Tracy Subbasin (DWR Basin No. 5-021.15) and
the critically overdrafted Eastern San Joaquin
Subbasin (DWR Basin No. 5-021.01); to the east
are the high priority Modesto and Turlock
Subbasins (DWR Basin No. 5-021.02 and No. 5-
021.03) and critically overdrafted Merced (DWR
Basin No. 5-022.04), Chowchilla (5-022.05), and
Madera {5-022.06) Subbasins; and to the south
are the critically overdrafted Kings (DWR Basin
No. 5-021.08} and Westside (DWR Basin No. 5-
021.09} Subbasins. These basins are managed
under their own GSPs and SGMA-related
activities but coordinate with the Basin GSAs to
address issues affecting boundary areas (e.g.,
accounting for groundwater subsurface inflows
and outflows and evaluating consistency of SMCs).

Figure ES-2. Overview of Plan Area, GSA Groups, and
Groundwater Basins
The Basin is entirely covered by 23 exclusive GSAs, which are grouped into seven GSA Groups as shown in Figure ES-2. Lands within the Basin (the "Plan Area") are predominantly irrigated agriculture, including a diverse array of crop types and portfolios dictated largely by the economics of the farm economy and July 2024

SGMA
water supply availability. Actively cropped agricultural lands encompass an estimated 416,000 acres of the Basin, or approximately 54 percent of the total area. Roughly 37 percent of the Plan Area consists of undeveloped lands (284,000 acres), and another two percent of lands are urban, suburban, and rural communities (15,000 acres). Water demands are met using an extensive series of water systems operated by multiple water agencies, cities, and private users. These systems are primarily supplied by imported surface water from the Central Valley Project (CVP) and minimally from the State Water Project (SWP), as well as surface water from the San Joaquin River system. Groundwater is also a key component of water supplies in the Basin and is relied upon for municipal and domestic uses, as well as agricultural and some managed wetland irrigation.
Fifteen census designated places within the Basin include the cities of Patterson, Newman, Dos Palos, Gustine, Los Banos, Firebaugh, and Mendota, and the communities of Grayson, Westley, Crows Landing, Santa Nella, Volta, Dos Palos Y, South Dos Palos, and Tranquillity.
Disadvantaged communities (DACs} and severely disadvantaged communities (SDACs} in the Basin are identified based on the median household income (MHI) of the area compared to the statewide MHI.
Approximately 66 percent of the Basin (507,000 acres} is covered by DWR-designated DACs or SDACs, including approximately 250,000 residents of the cities of Mendota, Firebaugh, Dos Palos, Gustine and the communities of Crows Landing, Dos Palos Y, Grayson, Westley, Volta, South Dos Palos, and Tranquillity.
Additionally, approximately 24 percent of the Basin (185,000 acres} is covered by DWR-designated economically distressed areas (EDAs).
ES.4. Stakeholder Outreach Efforts
The Basin GSAs developed a multi-pronged approach for public engagement during the development of this GSP, including the following components:
• Public Meetings: The Basin has held numerous meetings open to the public to discuss SGMA and GSP development and implementation. These include meetings of the Basin Coordination Committee, GSA Member Agency Boards and/or City Councils, County Boards of Supervisors, and the Northern and Central Delta-Mendota Region Management Committees. • Stakeholder Workshops and Education: The Basin, in partnership with several non-governmental organizations (NGOs), held several workshops and educational programs to increase public awareness and knowledge of SGMA. These efforts included informational stakeholder workshops, the 2024 Water Leadership Institute (WU} that focused on groundwater management within the Basin, and the Self-Help Enterprises (SHE} Community Water Needs Assessment. The Basin also hosted bilingual webinars and workshops on 10 May 2024, 7 June 2024, 22 April 2024, and 18 June 2024 to give an overview of the draft GSP and information on how to submit comments. Spanish translation was offered at these meetings. The Basin also hosts its own website dedicated to SGMA information: https://deltamendota.org/
• Direct Outreach: GSA staff made direct contact with community representatives to encourage their participation in the GSP development process. Outreach efforts included newsletters, GSA website updates, direct mail, local landowner meetings and workshops, bilingual informational emails to provide updates on GSA activities, and GSA-led tours of the Basin.

• DWR's Facilitation Support Services: In late 2023, Basin GSAs took additional steps to improve public outreach during the process of developing a single GSP for the Basin. The first step was to apply for Facilitation Support Services funds (FSS) through DWR. The FSS funds have primarily been used to set up and conduct public outreach meetings in the Subbasin to discuss the proposed single GSP with interested stakeholders.
• Draft GSP Review Opportunities. The GSAs published nine draft chapters on 30 April 2024 for public review. The GSAs incorporated comments and published the full draft Public Review Draft GSP on 29 May 2024.
In addition to the engagement opportunities provided above, the public was provided with opportunities to comment on both the 2020 and 2022 GSPs. This GSP has taken those comments into consideration.
ES.5. Basin Setting- Hydrogeologic Conceptual Model
The Basin is a long and narrow groundwater subbasin within the larger San Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin, approximately 92 miles long and ranging between six and 18 miles wide. The Basin is bounded by geological and/or natural features, such as the Coast Range on the western Basin boundary and the San Joaquin River on the eastern Basin boundary, as well as jurisdictional boundaries such as the water purveyors whose service areas constitute the northern and southern Basin boundaries. The groundwater system in the Basin is comprised of various geologic units, including the Tulare Formation, terrace deposits, alluvium, and flood-basin deposits, and contains two principal aquifers.
The two principal aquifers defined in the HCM are referred to as the "Upper Aquifer" and "Lower Aquifer", between which the Corcoran Clay, a regionally extensive clay layer in the San Joaquin Valley, serves as a principal aquitard, or relatively impermeable layer. The semi-confined Upper Aquifer typically extends from the ground surface to the upper boundary of the Corcoran Clay. It includes both younger and older shallow alluvial deposits as well as the upper portions of the Tulare Formation. The confined Lower Aquifer extends vertically from the part of the Tulare Formation that is confined beneath the Corcoran Clay to the underlying San Joaquin Formation and the boundary where saline water of marine origin is first encountered. The Corcoran Clay pinches out along the western boundary of the Basin, allowing for some measure of interconnection between the Upper and Lower Aquifers in those areas.
The Basin contains several surface water features. The San Joaquin River is the largest river in the Basin and flows northwestward along or near the eastern Basin boundary. Several ephemeral creeks also run west to east throughout the basin, including Del Puerto Creek, Los Banos Creek, and Orestimba Creek. San Luis Reservoir, situated on San Luis Creek along the western boundary of the Basin, is a major reservoir that serves as an off-stream water storage facility for both the CVP and SWP. Also situated in the Basin is significant infrastructure that conveys imported water supplies, including the Delta-Mendota Canal, the California Aqueduct, and local canals.

Figure ES-3. Hydrogeologic Cross-Section in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Applied irrigation water, direct recharge from ponds, and canal and streambed seepage contribute to the recharge of the Upper Aquifer within the Basin. Recharge to the Lower Aquifer primarily occurs east of the Basin along the western edge of the Sierra foothills. Some recharge within the Basin does occur via downward percolation between the Upper and Lower Aquifers at a very slow rate through the clay and composite wells. In addition, direct recharge and canal and stream seepage along the western edges of the Basin can occur where the Corcoran Clay is thin or non-existent.
Six hydrogeologic cross-sections were developed to illustrate the Basin physical characteristics and the underlying geologic formations, with an example cross-section shown in Figure ES-3. The cross-sections were developed by geospatial analysis of geologic information from well logs and Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) data throughout the Basin. These cross sections help the GSAs better understand Basin subsurface conditions and support the development of the Basin water budgets (inflow-outflow analyses), refinement of the numerical groundwater flow model, and design of the SGMA representative monitoring networks.

Upper Aquifer Groundwater Elevation from the Basin towards groundwater Hydrographs, 2015-2023 elevation lows in the neighboring Madera and Chowchilla Subbasins, with the exception of groundwater flow in the southeast direction along the southern boundary towards the Kings Subbasin. Differences in Upper Aquifer groundwater elevations between seasonal high and seasonal low conditions in WY 2023 can likely be attributed to consecutive Dry (WY 2020) and Shasta Critical (WY 2021 and WY 2022) water years prior to and during the seasonal low period of September and October 2022, which caused increased groundwater pumping. Hydrographs show the positive effects of surface water importation, managed aquifer recharge, and water banking activities in raising groundwater levels, tempered by the effects of the recent severe droughts and pumping outside of the Basin (see Figure ES-4).
Groundwater Storage: Changes in groundwater storage for the two principal aquifers over selected time periods of interest were calculated using the Central Valley Hydrologic Model Version 2 (CVHM2; Model) and compared to the volumes reported in the Basin's prior Annual Reports which were based on analytical estimates using groundwater elevations. The Model was refined based on local surface water delivery and pumping data for the period of WY 2003-2019, with reliable data primarily available after WY 2010 in most areas of the Basin. During the pre-SGMA period (WY 1970-WY 2014), the Basin experienced a cumulative Upper Aquifer groundwater storage decline of approximately -2,198,000 acre-feet (AF) and the Lower Aquifer groundwater storage decline of approximately -209,000 AF. During the post-SGMA period (WY 2015 - WY 2023), the Basin experienced a cumulative Upper Aquifer groundwater storage increase of approximately 62,000 AF and the Lower Aquifer groundwater storage decline of approximately -77,000 AF. The change in groundwater storage over the historical period generally corresponds with the variation in water year types. The increase of Upper Aquifer storage in post-SGMA years is primarily due to increased recharge during the period and wetter water year types, considering July 2024

that the average pumping from the Upper Aquifer during the post-SGMA period {308,000 acre-feet per year [AFY]) was generally similar to the pre-SGMA period. The groundwater storage volumes are calculated as the summation of simulated aquifer storage change and water release caused by subsidence, which represents changes in aquitard storage. Subsidence, and correspondingly water release caused by subsidence, are overestimated in the model. Furthermore, approximately 50% of historical subsidence is shown to be caused by pumping outside the Basin through sensitivity analysis conducted. Therefore, changes in storage values provided here are quite conservative and should be considered in understanding their level of uncertainty.
Water Quality: Drinking water is the most sensitive beneficial use in the Basin. The Basin employed the SWRCB's methodology for identifying constituents of concern (COCs) from State and Regional Water Board datasets and determined that the following are COCs for the Subbasin: arsenic, nitrate (as N), nitrate + nitrite (as N), 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP), gross alpha radioactivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), and hexavalent chromium. TDS concentrations above the secondary Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 1,000 milligrams per liter (mg/L) are present in over half of the Upper Aquifer due to the prevalence of marine sediments. TDS concentrations in the southern part of the Upper Aquifer have historically been increasing due to the eastward migration of naturally saline water driven by groundwater elevation gradients spanning multiple subbasins.
Locally, correlation between water levels and groundwater quality has not been observed. The Basin's expanded Representative Monitoring Networks for Water Quality and Groundwater Levels will be used to improve understanding of any trends or correlations between groundwater management (extraction and recharge) and water quality.
Land Subsidence: Land
subsidence has been
documented within the San
Joaquin Valley over both
historical and recent
timeframes. The majority of the
San Joaquin Valley's inelastic
subsidence can be attributed to
pumping groundwater from
below the Corcoran Clay. Recent
subsidence measurements
indicate that within the Basin,
the greatest subsidence has
generally been observed along
the southeastern boundary and
in the Tranquillity Irrigation
District (TRID) area. Between

western margin of the Basin to approximately 2.2 feet of subsidence in the southeast {see Figure ES-5).
Land subsidence caused by factors within the GSA's authority to manage is due to aquitard depressurization following groundwater withdrawal within the Basin, which tends to be greater in the areas dependent on groundwater from the Lower Aquifer and are underlain by a greater proportion of fine-grained deposits, and in periods of drought. In contrast, most of the subsidence occurring on the Basin's eastern boundary is associated with hotspots centered east of the San Joaquin River caused by groundwater pumping outside of the Basin. As the GSAs do not have the authority to regulate this external pumping, the associated subsidence is not within the GSAs' ability to manage. In response to the identified subsidence-related risks, the Basin's Representative Monitoring Network tracks land subsidence and Lower Aquifer water levels throughout the Basin, with emphasis on high-risk areas. Furthermore, the GSAs are enacting P/MAs and coordinating with neighboring subbasins to address subsidence through reductions in Lower Aquifer pumping within and adjacent to the Basin.
Seawater Intrusion: The Basin is located far from coastal areas; therefore, seawater intrusion is not considered to be a relevant Sustainability Indicator.
Interconnected Surface Water: The Interconnected Surface Water (ISW) analysis of the Basin relies on natural surface water bodies delineated in the United States Geological Survey {USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and The Nature Conservancy {TNC) ISW in the Central Valley (ICONS) datasets.
Perennial and intermittent surface water bodies are most likely to be ISW, while ephemeral surface water bodies are generally not ISW, as their channel bottoms remain significantly above the water table. Using the best available data, science, and tools, miles 16 to 106 of the San Joaquin River were identified as potential ISW (likely connected) and will be subject to the Depletion of ISW SMCs. The WY 2014 (preSGMA) depletion rate caused by pumping within the Basin is estimated to be 12,000 AFY within the potential ISW reaches (San Joaquin River) based on the Model, while the long-term historical average annual depletion rate caused by Basin pumping is approximately 7,000 AFY. The Current {WY 2019-2023) average annual depletion within these ISW reaches caused by pumping within the Basin is estimated to be approximately 13,000 AFY, comparable to pre-SGMA conditions.
ES.7. Basin Setting- Water Budget
·All GSAs in the Basin coordinated and collaborated on the development and application of the Model to evaluate Basin conditions. The Model is based on the use of a three-dimensional (3-D) groundwater flow model that uses the USGS CVHM2 - San Joaquin Valley (CVHM2-SJV) groundwater modeling platform.
This water budget provides an accounting of the total annual volume of water entering and leaving the Basin for Historical (WY 2003 -WY 2018), Current (WY 2019 -WY 2023), and Projected Future (WY 2024 - WY 2073) conditions. The water budgets are presented for the two interconnected water budget systems quantified by the Model the: (1) land-surface water system, and (2) groundwater system within the Basin.
For the land-surface water system, the change in storage is typically negligible and averages to zero in long-term periodical averages. For the groundwater system, modeling results show that the Basin had an average annual net groundwater storage change of -24,000 AFY, -6,000 AFY, and -19,000 AFY during the Historical, Current, and extended Historical through Current (WY 2003 - WY 2023) periods, respectively, indicating a consistent yet decreasing loss in storage since 2003.

In addition, the Basin has experienced a consistent loss of storage due to water release caused by subsidence equaling-105,000 AFY, -173,000 AFY, and -120,000 AFY during the Historical, Current, and WY 2003 - WY 2023 periods, respectively. However, validation of Model results indicate that the subsidence rates and extent are overestimated in the Model, leading to overestimation of water release caused by subsidence. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis conducted as part of the Model application suggests that as much as 50 percent of the subsidence (and subsequent loss of storage) simulated within the Basin is caused by pumping in adjacent basins. Consequently, addressing subsidence and its associated water release cannot be achieved solely through actions within the Basin. Coordination with neighboring basins and regional improvements in groundwater conditions will be required.
Considering the impacts of neighboring areas on Basin overdraft, the Basin Sustainable Yield was conservatively estimated to be approximately between 281,000 to 384,000 AFY over the WY 2003 - WY 2023 period, depending on the period selected (historical, current, or WY 2003-2023). Absent the impacts of neighboring basins on subsidence in the Basin, the sustainable yield over the same period was conservatively estimated to be approximately between 337,000 AFY to 485,000 AFY. The Sustainable Yield is based on results using Model-calculated groundwater pumping and recharge to quantify the volume of water that, if pumped over the water budget period of interest, would have resulted in zero change in storage. The range provided is an estimate based on the historical and current periods, as required by 23 CCR§ 354.18.(b)(7). The Sustainable Yield of the Basin will change and likely increase in the future due to the implementation of P/MAs and should be ultimately defined based on the sustainable management criteria outlined in the GSP, as the volume of Basin-wide groundwater extraction that does not lead to Undesirable Results.
Water budget information under Projected future conditions was also developed for the Basin using the Model and a SO-year "analog period" based on hydrologic input from the years 1973 to 2022, with water supply assumptions (i.e., changes to imported water supplies) and DWR-provided inputs for climate variables (i.e., adjusted precipitation and evapotranspiration). The Projected future water budget assesses the magnitude of the net water supply deficit under future conditions that would need to be addressed through P/MAs to prevent Undesirable Results and achieve the Sustainability Goal. Five projected water budget scenarios and one P/MA scenario were developed for this analysis and the results are summarized in Table ES-1:

2) Projected 2030 Central Tendency Climate Change;

Adaptive Management Pumping
Reduction
The wide spectrum of changes projected by extreme dry and wet 2070 climate change scenarios showcase the significant uncertainty in projected Basin conditions. The Basin has designed an adaptive P/MA framework with the capacity and flexibility to effectively respond to projected changes and their corresponding inherent uncertainty in the Basin. As discussed in Section ES-10, the Basin GSAs have a robust plan to address the estimated overdraft (i.e., 140,000 AFY over the WY 2003-2023 period), avoid Undesirable Results, and reduce groundwater pumping to within the Sustainable Yield by 2040 through implementation of P/MAs, including the PRP.
The simulation of projected conditions under 2030 Central Tendency Climate Change Scenario with planned P/MAs and PRP indicates that the Basin will not experience Undesirable Results from chronic lowering of groundwater levels during its implementation period (by WY 2040) or after (by WY 2073}.
Furthermore, the projected P/MA scenario indicates that the Basin would achieve an average balanced water budget by 2040, maintaining groundwater storage over WY 2015 conditions for the entire projected period (WY 2024-2073} in the Upper Aquifer and WY 2041-2073 in the Lower Aquifer, reaffirming the sufficiency of P/MAs and the PRP designed under this GSP. It is worth noting that these results include overestimation of the rate and extent of subsidence and, consequently, the total storage loss in the Basin, and therefore, considered quite conservative.
The above notwithstanding, it is important to note that there are inherent limitations in using the Model to predict future conditions given the uncertainties surrounding remaining data gaps, lack of full calibration of the Model for subsidence and water levels, complex hydrogeology and climate change July 2024

assumptions, and dynamic interconnections with adjacent basins. Despite efforts to address these uncertainties within the GSP's adaptive management framework, existing data limitations and significant sources of uncertainty will require updates and modifications to the Model, the results, and associated policies and P/MA implementation.
ES.8. Sustainable Management Criteria
The SMCs are the metrics by which groundwater sustainability is evaluated under SGMA. Uniform definitions for the following SMC components have been developed in the GSP through a coordinated effort of the GSAs within the Basin.
• Undesirable Results: Undesirable Results are the significant and unreasonable occurrence of conditions, for any of the six Sustainability Indicators, that adversely affect beneficial uses and users in the Basin.
• Minimum Thresholds (MTs): MTs are the numeric criteria for each Sustainability Indicator that, if exceeded in a locally defined combination of monitoring sites, may constitute an Undesirable Result for that indicator.
• Measurable Objectives (MOs): MOs are specific, quantifiable goals for the maintenance or improvement of groundwater conditions. MOs use the same units and metrics as the MTs allowing for direct comparison.
• Interim Milestones (IMs): I Ms are a set of target values representing measurable groundwater conditions_ in increments of five (S) years over the 20-year statutory deadline for achieving sustainability.
Table ES-2 summarizes the SMCs for each applicable Sustainability Indicator in the Basin.

The primary beneficial uses and users of groundwater in the Subbasin include groundwater pumpers, drinking water users, environmental beneficial users, and surface water rights holders. The SMCs in Table ES-2 were developed to prevent significant and unreasonable impacts to groundwater uses and users and are justified (i.e., will not result in significant and unreasonable impacts) as follows for all applicable Sustainability Indicators.
Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels
• The MTs for Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels were established to ensure that they are sufficiently protective of Undesirable Results defined for all other relevant Sustainability Indicators for the Basin, as "setting groundwater level MTs at or above 2015 groundwater elevations will avoid undesirable results for other Sustainability Indicators beyond undesirable results that occurred before, and had not been corrected by, January 1, 2015" (SWRCB, 2024a). • Impacts to Beneficial Users: Basin GSAs plan to implement a Well Mitigation Program to address potential impacts to domestic and small community wells from the Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels. A robust Basin-wide well impacts analysis was conducted to quantify potential impacts to beneficial users if groundwater levels reach their MTs, which was compared to the Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels Undesirable Results definition. Even in the worstcase scenario where all Representative Monitoring Wells for Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels (RMW-WLs) decline to MT groundwater levels, a maximum of 98 drinking water wells are expected to be impacted. Since the criteria for Undesirable Results for Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels is based on only 25 percent of RMW-WLs reaching their MTs, the number of impacted wells is projected to be significantly less. Further, since the Well Mitigation Policy (Appendix N) is designed be able to address at least 170 dry wells by 2040, even the "worst case" potential impacts are anticipated to be manageable. The Basin calculated the "depletion of supply" for this scenario to quantify the percentage of urban supply volume that may be impacted if groundwater levels decline to their MTs. Under the worst-case scenario, only 4.5 percent of the total estimated urban water supply volume would be impacted by 2040. This depletion of supply July 2024

is not considered to be significant and unreasonable, and the MTs were determined to be sufficiently protective of all groundwater pumpers, including drinking water wells users.
Furthermore, the GSAs have adopted a policy to address MT exceedances observed in any individual RMW-WL as they occur, with the intent of preventing well dewatering. • Consideration of Adjacent Basins: Since the MTs are set at the actual or interpolated 2015 Low groundwater levels, water levels under the MTs do not differ significantly from actual Fall 2015 water levels for both the Upper and Lower Aquifers. Therefore, it is not expected that the MTs will substantially alter groundwater level gradients beyond those experienced in 2015 or impact any adjacent basins' ability to achieve their respective sustainability goals.
Reduction of Groundwater Storage: If all RMW-WLs were to decline from Fall 2014 water levels to their Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Level MTs, the percent of usable storage would decrease by approximately 10 percent in the Upper Aquifer and remain relatively unchanged in the Lower Aquifer, which is equivalent to the reduction of storage that is not deemed to be significant and unreasonable.
Furthermore, since the criteria for Undesirable Results for Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels is based on only 25 percent of RMW-WLs reaching their MTs, the percent reduction in usable storage volume that would occur at the point of Undesirable Results for Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels would be less than 10 percent. This analysis demonstrates that SM Cs for Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels are protective against significant and unreasonable effects for Reduction of Groundwater Storage.
Degraded Water Quality
• Impacts to Beneficial Users: The MT for Degraded Water Quality is set as the greater concentration of either: (1) the applicable health-based screening standard 1, or (2) the baseline condition at each Representative Monitoring Well for Degraded Groundwater Quality (RMW-WQ), which is either:
(1) the last calendar year with data in the · period of 2010-2014 plus the maximum annual fluctuation range if observed at each RMW-WQ; or if no data are available from 2010-2014, (2) the first calendar year with data after 2014 plus the maximum annual fluctuation range if observed at each RMW-WQ. 2 Primary MCLs are health-based regulatory drinking water standards set to protect drinking water use, which is generally the most sensitive beneficial use. • A significant portion of the Basin has historically degraded water quality. Therefore, in some areas of the Basin, it is appropriate to set MTs as a baseline condition, as "the plan may, but is not required to, address undesirable results that occurred before, and have not been corrected by, January 1, 2015" (CWC § 10727.2(b)(4)). Further, while the extent of naturally degraded water quality in the Basin may be significant, it is not unreasonable given that it is largely due to naturallyoccurring aquifer conditions and is not related to GSA management of the Basin. • Consideration of Adjacent Basins: The MTs for Degraded Water Quality are not expected to impact adjacent basins' ability to achieve their sustainability goals, as MTs are set based on regulatory thresholds or baseline concentrations. Additionally, the water level MTs are not expected to cause 1 The Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) set by the SWRCB Division of Drinking Water (DDW) was used as the applicable health-based screening standard for all COCs.
2 Maximum annual fluctuation range is determined based on measurements within any one year. Measurements from 1950 to 2015 are prioritized for determining the maximum annual fluctuation range.

significant changes to existing local groundwater gradients and are thus anticipated to be protective in terms of minimizing increased migration of poor-quality water from the Basin.
Land Subsidence
• Impacts to Beneficial Users: The criteria for Undesirable Results are justified because the MTs for Land Subsidence are tied back to the design standards for critical infrastructure within the Basin, which accommodate an additional 2.0 feet of inelastic subsidence by 2040. The criteria recognize that small amounts of subsidence could occur in some locations without negatively affecting the critical infrastructure, and that only to the extent that subsidence causes a loss of functional capacity does it qualify as significant and unreasonable. • Consideration of Adjacent Basins: The SMCs for Land Subsidence were set to prevent additional inelastic subsidence from occurring after 2040 as a result of Basin groundwater management; This approach is generally consistent with the approach taken in the adjacent Chowchilla and Merced Subbasins, where the local GSAs also intend to prevent further inelastic subsidence after 2040. In recognition that avoidance of Undesirable Results due to Land Subsidence in the Basin crucially depends on successful management of subsidence hotspots in adjacent basins, the Basin GSAs will continue to coordinate with agencies in adjacent basins during GSP implementation to address subsidence hotspots. Similar to water quality above, while the observed subsidence rates in the Basin may be considered to be significant, they are not unreasonable to the extent that they are caused by factors outside of the Basin and outside of GSA control.
Depletion of Interconnected Surface Water
• Impacts to Beneficial Users: The criteria for Undesirable Results are justified because the MTs for the Depletion of ISW are tied back to the surface water depletion rate caused by groundwater extraction (pumping) within the Basin prior to the enactment of SGMA on January 1, 2015. The component of the criteria requiring two consecutive years of MT exceedances provides for confirmation that the depletion of ISW is chronic and not an anomaly. • Consideration of Adjacent Basins: The MTs for the Depletion of ISW are not expected to impact adjacent basins' ability to achieve their sustainability goals, as MTs are set based on pre-SGMA depletion conditions. Additionally, the Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels MTs are not expected to cause significant changes to existing local groundwater gradients and are thus anticipated to be protective in terms of preventing additional Depletion of ISW due to groundwater pumping.
Relationships Between Sustainability Indicators
• Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels and Reduction in Groundwater Storage are directly, if not linearly, related. As shown in Table ES-2, groundwater level MTs are used as a proxy for Reduction of Groundwater Storage. If water levels in all RMW-WLs were to exceed MTs, approximately 10 percent decline in Upper Aquifer would occur relative to the baseline and Lower Aquifer would remain relatively unchanged, which is equivalent to the reduction of storage deemed to not be significant and unreasonable.
• Few contemporaneous and collocated water level and groundwater quality data exist for the Basin's COCs, and where they do exist, no clear correlation between Degraded Water Quality and July 2024

Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels (and Reduction of Groundwater Storage, by proxy), has been established. The Basin's proposed monitoring will further clarify the potential relationship between water quality and groundwater management during GSP implementation, including through collaboration with the Central Valley-Salinity Alternatives for Long-term Sustainability (CVSALTS) Prioritization and Optimization study, in which the Basin is serving as an archetype study area (CV-SALTS, 2024}.
• Historical inelastic land subsidence has been attributed to Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels, particularly due to pumping from the Lower Aquifer outside of and within the Basin. The MTs for Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels are set to prevent declines in water levels beyond 2015 conditions, thus they are intended to prevent additional inelastic land subsidence due to pumping within the Basin.
• A potential effect of Undesirable Results due to Land Subsidence is a Reduction of Groundwater Storage due to compaction that can occur in fine-grained layers during groundwater pumping, especially from the Lower Aquifer. The Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels MTs are used as a proxy for Reduction of Groundwater Storage and were demonstrated to be protective of Undesirable Results due to Reduction of Groundwater Storage. Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Level SMCs are also protective of Undesirable Results due to Land Subsidence. Through the correlation with Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Level SMCs, it is reasonable to conclude that Land Subsidence MTs will not cause an unreasonable Reduction of Groundwater Storage. • Studies suggest that consolidation of subsurface layers with high clay content may liberate arsenic and cause Degradation of Groundwater Quality. However, there has been no observed correlation between Land Subsidence and any water quality COCs in the Basin. RMW-WQs have been selected in areas with historical subsidence to continue to monitor the potential relationship between subsidence and arsenic.
• The MTs for Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels are set to prevent declines in water levels beyond 2015 conditions, and thus are intended to prevent additional Depletion of ISW. • The Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels MTs are used as a proxy for Reduction of Groundwater Storage and were demonstrated to be protective of Undesirable Results due to Reduction of Groundwater Storage. Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Level SMCs are also protective of Undesirable Results due to Depletion of ISW. Through the correlation with Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Level SMCs, it is reasonable to conclude that Depletion of ISW MTs will not cause an Unreasonable Reduction of Groundwater Storage. • Changes in surface water-groundwater interaction are likely to impact the Upper Aquifer's water quality in areas primarily impacted by San Joaquin River seepage, due to the different water qualities of the river and the underlying Upper Aquifer. However, due to lack of sufficient data, no direct correlation could be discerned between Depletion of ISW and Degraded Water Quality. As more data are gathered from the Representative Monitoring Sites for Interconnected Surface Water {RMS-ISW) and RMW-WQ, these correlations will be reassessed and considered.

Achieving sustainability in the Subbasin will require implementation of P/MAs to address projected water budget deficits that contribute to groundwater level and storage declines and land subsidence, and also to address water quality impacts. As such, the GSAs have developed a portfolio of P/MAs, each with specific expected benefits, implementation triggers, and costs. For purposes of this GSP, the P/MAs have been organized into tiers based on implementation status or anticipated implementation date, where July 2024

"Tier 1" P/MAs have been implemented since 2020 and are currently operational, "Tier 2" and "Tier 3" P/MAs have expected implementation dates by 2030 and 2040 respectively, and "Tier 4" P/MAs will be implemented after 2040 or as needed. For example, the Basin GSAs are currently developing and intend to implement a PRP by January 2025 ("Tier 2" P/MA) that will achieve a 42,000 AFY reduction in pumping from the Basin by 2030.
The supply augmentation and demand reduction P/MAs identified by the Basin GSAs comprise a diverse portfolio of options that can be implemented as necessary to achieve sustainability from a total water quantity and water quality perspective. Additionally, if MT exceedances occur, accelerated implementation of P/MAs could be triggered, following steps outlined in the PRP.

Due to uncertainties in the glide path relating to water supplies for supply augmentation projects and hydrologic conditions under climate change scenarios, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to ensure that the planned P/MAs are adaptable in the event of extreme conditions. Under each of these extreme scenarios, the Basin will still be on track to achieve sustainability by 2040.
The Model was also applied to predict future water level conditions with the implementation of the P/MAs and to assess if Undesirable Results 3 would be expected to occur in the Basin between now and 2040 under 2030 Central Tendency Climate Change Scenario. Specifically, the hydrographs at 71 of the RMWWls that are explicitly represented in the Model were evaluated to assess if more than 25 percent of them exceeded their MT between now and 2040. 4 Based on a review of the hydrographs against the SM Cs, 3 For the purposes of this assessment, this portion of the Decline in Groundwater Levels Undesirable Results definition was used: "Groundwater levels decline below the established MTs in 25 percent or more of the RMW-Wls for two consecutive years (i.e., based on measurements from two seasonal high groundwater level periods and two seasonal low groundwater level periods)".
4 Because some of the RMW-Wls did not have any historical data or have not yet been constructed they were not explicitly represented in the Model. As such this analysis assumed that as long as no more than 25 percent of the 71 RMW-Wls exceed that MT, then by inference no more than 25 percent of the entire RMW-WL network will exceed the MT and create an Undesirable Result.
