Honorable Mayor and Members
of the Newman City Council
Agenda Item: 10.b.
City Council Meeting
of August 27, 2024
ADPOPTION OF THE DELTA-MENDOTA SUBBASIN GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY PLAN RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2024 - , A Resolution Adopting the Delta-Mendota Groundwater Sustainability Plan and Authorizing Its Submittal to the State Water Resources Control Board.
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"), which 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).
The City Council voted to form the City of Newman Groundwater Sustainability Agency on November 8, 2016.
On December 10, 2019, the Council adopted the Groundwater Sustainability Plan for portions of the Delta - Mendota Subbasin subject to the jurisdiction of the City of Newman ("2019 SJRECGSA GSP") and submitted the SJRECGSA GSP to the California Department of Water Resources on January 23, 2020.
In January 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.
ANALYSIS:
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 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 of the 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.
FISCAL IMP ACT:
No immediate impact. Participation in the group will require staff time to be devoted to collection and sharing of data.
Agenda Item: 10.b.
CONCLUSION:
Attached is an executive summary of the Delta Mendota Sub basin Groundwater Sustainability Plan. A copy of the full plan can be viewed at https://deltamendota.org/final-gsp-documents/. After conducting a public hearing staff recommends that the Council approve Resolution 2024- Adopting the Delta-Mendota Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan and Authorizing its submittal to the State Water Resource Control Board.

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
DELTAMENDOTA
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 rnain 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 CWC § 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 (WLI) 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.S. 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.

Cross-Section
location Map
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 Sub basin: 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:

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.

EKI Environment & Water, Inc.
Executive Summary
Delta Mendota Subbasin GSP
DELTAMENDOTA
SGMA
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:

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): IMs 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 standard1, 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 (DOW) 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

SGMA
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.

Data collected will undergo quality assurance and quality control reviews at the GSA level prior to being uploaded in the OMS. Additional data collected as part of other regular monitoring programs implemented within the Basin may be used in conjunction with data collected from the SGMA Monitoring Networks to meet compliance with GSP Regulations regarding annual reporting (23 CCR § 356.2) and Periodic Reviews (23 CCR § 356.4), or as otherwise deemed necessary by the GSAs.

ES.10. Projects and Management Actions
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

"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 Results3 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.

fewer than 25 percent of the RMW-Wls are projected to exceed their respective MTs in any given year between now and 2040 and no Undesirable Results are projected to occur with successful implementation of the P/MAs and the PRP.
Further, based on the projected Model water budget for the 2030 Central Tendency Climate Change with P/MAs, assuming the successful implementation of P/MAs and focused and adaptive implementation of the PRP, the Basin is projected to maintain aquifer storage above WY 2015 levels for the entire projected period (WY 2024-2073) in the Upper Aquifer and after WY 2040 in the Lower Aquifer (as shown in Figure ES-8), consistent with the Basin's Sustainability Goal. .,

Key Plan and related groundwater management implementation activities to be undertaken by the GSAs over the next five years and through 2040 include:
• Implementation of the Basin's PRP;
o To address overdraft, the Basin developed a coordinated PRP, which includes a clear implementation plan and schedule to support successful execution beginning January 2025. The implementation plan requires the Basin GSAs to determine specific technical approaches and triggers by October 2024. The Basin GSAs are also required to implement and develop the needed monitoring, administrative, and technical tools, and to conduct the necessary education and outreach by January 2025. The PRP is comprised of six components that, when collectively implemented, should ensure successful compliance with the GSP's SMCs and pumping within the Sustainable Yield: (1) monitoring and data collection, (2) overdraft mitigation plan, (3) groundwater level minimum threshold avoidance plan, (4) water quality minimum threshold exceedance plan, (5) subsidence avoidance plan, and (6) groundwater allocation backstop. • P/MA implementation, funding, financing, and grant application(s); July 2024

Executive Summary
Delta Mendota Subbasin GSP
• Addressing data gaps, including Model calibration;
DELTAMENDOTA
SGMA
• Model refinement and calibration to improve local representation of Basin conditions, including groundwater levels and subsidence;
• Intra-basin and inter-basin coordination;
• Continued outreach and engagement with stakeholders;
• Response to DWR and SWRCB comments on the GSP;
• Continued monitoring, data collection, and annual reporting; • Enforcement and response actions, including Well Mitigation Policy; and • Evaluation and updates of the GSP as part of the required Periodic Evaluation.
Collectively, the Plan Implementation Activities described herein demonstrate the Basin GSAs have been actively implementing specific P/MAs, policies, and programs to sustainably manage groundwater resources for all beneficial uses and users of groundwater and continue to meet the Sustainability Goal defined for the Basin.
The costs associated with continued activities by the GSAs fall under two main categories: (1) GSA administration costs, and (2) Costs to implement P/MAs, including capital/one-time costs and ongoing costs. For GSA-specific P/MA implementation, the GSAs intend to meet these cost obligations through a combination of landowner contributions (within their jurisdictions), water rates, partnering agencies, lowcost loan programs, grant funding (DWR, United States Bureau of Reclamation, SWRCB, California Natural Resources Agency, etc.), locally available funds, and other available sources to be determined. Over the first 5-year period (i.e., 2025-2030), Basin-wide costs associated with GSA administration are estimated to range from $2.4M per year in 2025 to $3.9M per year in 2040.
ES.12. Conclusion
The GSAs recognize that groundwater resources management in California fundamentally changed with the passage of SGMA. SGMA has introduced concepts, actions, and deadlines necessary to achieve the stated goals and to avoid Undesirable Results. For the "high priority" and "critically overdrafted" basins, there is a renewed commitment to better monitor, prepare for, and respond to these issues. The GSAs are utilizing authorities granted to them under SGMA to fund, strategically plan, gather additional information, and develop projects and roadmaps for their jurisdictions within the Basin, as coordinated with all GSAs in the Basin and detailed in this GSP. Through the monitoring network, modeling efforts, and P/MAs, the GSAs are confident they can achieve the Sustainability Goal in the Basin by the SGMAmandated deadlines, and well into the future. The GSAs are committed to this long-term coordinated groundwater management effort, engaging with its communities and stakeholders, and building consensus to ensure groundwater resources within the Basin are adequate and reliable for future generations.

Introduction to Projects and Management Actions This Subarticle describes the criteria for projects and management actions to be included in a Plan to meet the sustainability goal for the basin in a manner that can be maintained over the planning and implementation horizon. ~ 23 CCR § 354.42
This section presents the Projects and Management Actions (P/MAs) currently under implementation by the Delta-Mendota Subbasin (Basin) Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs), or otherwise proposed for future implementation to support achievement of Basin sustainability. The Basin has been actively implementing specific plans, programs, and P/MAs to sustainably manage groundwater resources for beneficial uses and users of groundwater within the Basin. The Basin's strategy to achieve sustainability includes a combination of P/MAs that both reduce Basin-wide groundwater pumping and augment groundwater supplies with other sources.
The Basin GSAs are currently developing and intend to implement a Pumping Reduction Plan (PRP) by January 2025 that will achieve a 42,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) reduction in pumping from the Basin by 2030 and avoid Minimum Threshold (MT) exceedances. The PRP is detailed in Section 16.1.1 and included in this section as a "Tier 2" P/MA (Section 15.3.2). Descriptions of all planned P/MAs, including their implementation status and expected benefits, are included in Table PMA-2 and summarized herein.
15.1 Summary of P/MAs Implementation Status and Effects on Groundwater Conditions The Basin GSAs have made substantial progress in implementing the P/MAs identified in the revised 2022 Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs). Table PMA-3 includes an implementation summary of the P/MAs that have been implemented since 2020 and are currently operational (i.e., "Tier 1" P/MAs), as well as their resulting benefits to groundwater conditions and/or groundwater management in the Basin.
Implementation is underway for several more P/MAs with anticipated implementation dates by 2030 and 2040 r'Tier 2" and "Tier 3" P/MAs, respectively). The status of all Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4 P/MAs are listed in Table PMA-1.

Summary of Current Benefits
This project currently provides an average yield of
approximately 16,000 AFY of recirculated Level 2
CVP refuge supply. The planned project
enhancements are estimated to yield an additional
14,000 AFY by 2026.
The Program currently delivers a total of 27,000 AFY
of recycled water to Grassland GSA and DPWD that
offsets groundwater pumping, reducing declines in
groundwater elevation and storage and associated
potential degradation in water quality. Additionally,
this project offsets groundwater pumping from the
Lower Aquifer, resulting in a reduced risk of
inelastic land subsidence, and reduces pumping
near Interconnected Surface Water.
Project proponents (DPWD and CCID) each store up
to 7,500 AFY in the previously farmed 80-acre
facility. During Below Normal WYs, project
proponents can withdraw 3,750 AF, less a 10
percent leave behind. In Dry and Critical WYs,
project proponents can withdraw 7,500 AF, less a
10 percent leave behind. On average, the project is
expected to yield 1,485 AFY each (2,970 AFY total).
Additionally, retirement of 80 acres of previously
irrigated land has resulted in an estimated 250 AFY
pumping reduction.
Flood flows will be diverted from Orestimba Creek
reducing downstream pressure on the City of
Newman, CCI D's main canal, and the San Joaquin
River.

Status
Construction was completed in 2017. In 2017,
almost 50,000 AF was recharged directly into
the adjacent Chowchilla Subbasin and in-lieu of
pumping groundwater. In 2018, an additional
10,000 AF of surface water was put to
beneficial use.
Implementation of the Well Permitting Review
is underway for all counties and their respective
GSA(s). All counties in the Basin have updated
their well permitting process and requirements
to include a step for GSA review (see Section
5.3.4).
Several GSAs (AWD, Central Delta-Mendota,
PIO, DPWD, WSID, Madera County) have a
metering policy in place. Water Budget
Monitoring is ongoing and wil l be continued as
part of the Basin-wide Monitoring and Data
Collection Plan (Section 16.1.1.2).
Implementation is underway and supported by
ALL-1 (GSA Well Permitting and Metering). The
Basin GSAs have field-verified and logged the
locations of several wells, as discussed in
Section 5.1.5.
DELTAMENDOTA
SGMA
Summary of Current Benefits
This project targets reducing subsidence in the
Basin caused by pumping outside of the Basin. The
subsidence rate at Sack Dam (San Luis Canal
Company headworks) was reduced from 0.042 feet/
year to 0.012 feet/year, or 70 percent. Subsidence
rates in the following years have remained
substantially lower than pre-implementation rates.
Increased GSA access to and input on well permits
help to determine if the pumping associated with a
new well will cause undesirable results in each
GSA's jurisdictional area and to ensure that
groundwater extractions are metered or measured
in some fashion, ensuring that new wells are
compliant with current and future sustainable
practices.

County GSA
July 2024
Status
AWD levies a groundwater extraction fee of
$13.44/ AF. Groundwater use is estimated
based on a cropping-data estimate, or the
grower may opt to provide flow meter data.
AWD may adjust this fee following a
Proposition 218 hearing. Landowners importing
surface water receive up to a 4:1 credit against
groundwater extraction fees. Specifically, for
each AF of surface water imported, landowners
receive credit to offset the extraction fees for
up to 4 AF of groundwater.
Similarly, Del Puerto Water District has enacted
a policy that requires growers to pay a surface
water allocation fee irrespective of surface
water use. This policy therefore incentivizes
growers to use available surface before
pumping groundwater.
A Well Water Operations Plan was established
in 2017 and is implemented on an annual basis.
Included and actively being implemented as
part of the City of Patterson's adopted 2020
Urban Water Management Plan.
From 2021 to 2025, allocations are designed to
reduce transitional water by 2 percent annually.
DELTAMENDOTA
SGMA
Summary of Current Benefits
This policy encourages AWD and DPWD growers to
use surface water supplies, reducing overall
groundwater demands. The AWD policy incentivizes
the use of up to 10,000 AFY of San Joaquin River
flood flows (see AWD-2). Since 2020, some AWD
growers have temporarily fallowed fields on an
annual basis, which has reduced their groundwater
extraction fees
This revised pumping strategy limits extraction from
Lower Aquifer wells has an estimated groundwater
savings of 5,000 - 7,000 AFY.
These planning strategies can be expanded upon, if
necessary, and applied in order to minimize impacts
to groundwater storage and water levels when
supplies become limited.
Approximately 80 AFY of water savings, counted
towards the Madera County GSA's allocation in the

15.2 Goals and Objectives of Projects and Management Actions
15.2.1 Relevant Sustainability Indicators
DELTAMENDOTA
SGMA
Per California Code of Regulations Title 23 (23 CCR) § 354.44, GSPs must include P/MAs to achieve the Sustainability Goal for the Basin and respond to changing conditions, such as those that may cause existing or potential future Undesirable Results for the identified relevant Sustainability Indicators.
As discussed in Section 11, the relevant Sustainability Indicators in the Basin for which Sustainable Management Criteria (SMCs) have been defined include: (1) Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels, (2) Reduction of Groundwater Storage, (3) Degraded Water Quality, (4) Land Subsidence, and (5) Depletion of Interconnected Surface Water (ISW). Because groundwater levels and storage area directly correlated, P/MAs that address groundwater levels also address groundwater storage, and the two Sustainability Indicators are considered together in this discussion of P/MAs. In total, the goal of the P/MAs discussed herein is to address significant and unreasonable effects related to the Sustainability Indicators in the relevant areas.
15.2.2 Benefit Categories
!ti 23 CCR§ 354.44(b}(5)
The primary water management "tools" by which GSAs can address conditions that may lead to Undesirable Results for the applicable Sustainability Indicators are the management of water inflows (supplies) and outflows (demands). The primary categories of realized or expected benefits from P/MAs include the following, though many P/MAs can provide one or more secondary benefits such as flood control, ecosystem protection/enhancement, etc.
1. Water Supply Augmentation, including:
a. Surface water acquisition and access
b. Recharge of normal or wet-year surface supplies
c. Stormwater and recycled water development
d. Projects to increase surface storage capacity I delivery flexibility
2. Groundwater Pumping Reduction
3. Data-Gap Removal Efforts, Monitoring, and Reporting

15.4 Circumstances for Implementation
~ 23 CCR§ 354.44(b)(l)(A)
Table PMA-1 describes the timeline and circumstances under which individual P/MAs shall be implemented. The goals and objectives of the P/MAs presented herein are to avoid the occurrence of Undesirable Results by the GSP implementation deadline (i.e., by January 2040). At this time, the Basin GSAs anticipate that implementation of P/MAs will be necessary to ensure sustainability of the Basin under the uncertainty of future climate and land use conditions. The P/MAs will be implemented based on further consideration of the local or regional needs, the magnitude of expected benefit, the relative cost and ease of implementation, and other factors. Some P/MAs are already implemented or will be implemented immediately upon adoption of this GSP (e.g., ALL-3: Basin-wide Pumping Reduction Plan).
Others will be implemented on an adaptive management basis (i.e., to avoid Undesirable Results), when MTs violations are anticipated upon completion of feasibility studies, economic evaluations, and/or other necessary planning studies. As discussed above, an overall P/MA implementation schedule, or preliminary "glide path", has been developed that serves as a framework to estimate the level of benefits that are anticipated to be achieved over the GSP implementation period (see Section 15.6.1).
Accelerated implementation of P/MAs (i.e., at expected benefit accrual rates faster than those shown in Table PMA-1) could be triggered if a substantial number of Representative Monitoring Sites (RMS) approach MTs for any of the applicable Sustainability Indicators. Processes for avoiding and/or responding to MT exceedances are outlined in the Basin's Groundwater Levels Minimum Threshold (GWL-MT) Avoidance Plan (Section 16.1.1.3), Water Quality Minimum Threshold (WQ-MT) Exceedance Plan (Section 16.1.1.4), and Subsidence Avoidance Plan (Section 16.1.1.5). If the GSA(s) are not able to avoid Undesirable Results through implementation of P/MAs or other mitigation measures and have MT exceedances for two consecutive years due to groundwater management within their respective jurisdictional area, the GSA will be required to implement a Groundwater Allocation Backstop, as described in Section 16.1.1.6. Additionally, impacts to individual drinking water wells that may occur due to declining groundwater conditions will be addressed through the Basin-wide Well Mitigation Policy (Section 16.1.7). The planning and implementation of P/MAs will be done under an adaptive management framework and supported by the best available information and science.

15.5 Public Notice Process
ltl 23 CCR§ 354.44(b)(l)(B)
DELTAMENDOTA
SGMA
Public notice requirements vary for the P/MAs listed above. Some projects that only involve assessment may not require specific public noticing, whereas certain other management actions that involve, for example, imposition of fees by the GSAs, may require public noticing pursuant to Proposition 218. In general, P/MAs being considered for implementation will be discussed during regular Basin Coordination Committee meetings as well as GSA Board/City Council meetings, which are open to the public. Additional stakeholder outreach efforts will be conducted prior to and during P/MA implementation, as required by the law. The public notice requirements for individual P/MAs are listed in Table PMA-1.
15.6 Addressing Overdraft Conditions
ltl 23 CCR§ 354.44(b)(2)
As discussed in Section 9.3.4, the water budget deficit (overdraft) within the Basin is estimated to have been approximately 140,000 AFY over the 2003-2023 time period (the 11Historical" and 11Current" water budget time periods) and is used to develop the Sustainable Yield estimate (Section 9.5). The GSAs plan to address the estimated overdraft and reduce groundwater pumping to within the Sustainable Yield by 2040 through implementation of P/MAs, including the PRP.
Multiple evaluations have been conducted to assess whether the GSAs' current plan to achieve sustainability is reasonable and achievable. Specifically, the following evaluations have been conducted as documented below:
• Approach #1: P/MA Glidepath and Sensitivity Analysis
• Approach #2: Undesirable Results Test
• Approach #3: Overdraft Elimination Test
15.6.1 P/MA Glidepath and Sensitivity Analysis
A general implementation schedule, also known as a 11glide path", has been developed and is summarized in Table PMA-4 below. The estimated average annual benefit from these P/MAs is calculated from the expected benefits and implementation timetable for the Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 P/MAs, as presented in Table PMA-2. For projects dependent on normal to wet-year supplies (e.g., recharge projects), the estimated average annual benefit considers the historical frequency of certain hydrologic conditions. This preliminary glide path aims to address a certain percentage of the overdraft during each five-year period through 2040, which in turn will increase or stabilize Basin groundwater levels. A graphical representation of this glide path is shown in Figure PMA-2.
Groundwater levels in some areas of the Basin have shown persistent decreasing trends, suggesting a local imbalance of supplies versus groundwater pumping. The GWL-MT Avoidance Plan (Section 16.1.1.3) and Subsidence Avoidance Plan (Section 16.1.1.5) will be implemented to mitigate potential Undesirable Results that may occur before 2030, or beyond as necessary, as a result of the remaining or localized overdraft.

The glide path above presents the estimate of benefits from P/MA implementation based on the best available data and information. However, many uncertainties exist, particularly related to availability of water supplies for supply augmentation projects and hydrologic conditions under climate change scenarios, as well as impacts to the Basin from conditions and pumping outside of the Basin. Consequently, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to ensure that the planned P/MAs are adaptable in the event of extreme conditions. The sensitivity analysis considers three scenarios:
• Scenario #1: Supply augmentation projects provide SO percent of the benefit estimated in Table PMA-2. This could represent a reduction of the expected supply augmentation due to multiple dry years that result in shortages of imported water supplies, or scenarios where the implementation of some of the planned P/MAs are delayed due to funding, permitting, or other constraints.
• Scenario #2: Hydrologic conditions occur that result in an increase in the Basin1s projected storage loss beyond the calculated historical/current overdraft, as simulated by the projected 2070 Climate Change - Extreme Dry projection (Section 9.4.2.2), representing a worst-case scenario. • Scenario #3: Hydrologic conditions occur that result in a decrease in the Basin1s projected storage loss compared to the calculated historical/current overdraft, as simulated by the projected 2070 Climate Change - Extreme Wet projection (Section 9.4.2.2), representing the wide spectrum of potential changes due to climate change and the significant uncertainty in projecting future conditions that must be considered and adaptively managed by the Basin.
Scenario #1: 50 percent of the Expected Benefit from Supply Augmentation Projects This scenario is presented to show the Basin1s path to address the estimated overdraft under a scenario where the planned supply augmentation projects provide SO percent of the expected benefits.

not completely reliant on additional supplies and is able to address a substantial portion of the Basin's overdraft through pumping reductions as part of the proposed PRP (Section 16.1.1). As shown in Table PMA-5 and Figure PMA-3, if P/MAs are not sufficient to address the Basin's overdraft, the GSAs will implement mandatory pumping reductions triggered by declining groundwater conditions per the GWLMT Avoidance Plan-' Subsidence Avoidance Plan and Groundwater Allocation Backstop (Sections 16.1.1.3,

Project and Management Action Glide Path (Scenario #1) Scenario #2: Projected 2070 Climate Change - Extreme Orv Scenario This scenario is presented to show the Basin's path to address the projected storage loss under the 2070 Climate Change - Extreme Dry Scenario, which is greater than the Basin's calculated historical overdraft and demonstrates "worst-case" conditions for the Basin. Under this scenario, the average annual projected storage loss is 181,000 AFY and the planned supply augmentation projects provide approximately 90 percent of the expected benefits. The assumed 10 percent reduction in supply augmentation benefits reflects a decrease in precipitation and surface water supply under this scenario.
As described for Scenario #1 above, additional pumping reductions will be triggered by declining groundwater conditions, and per the GWL-MT Avoidance Plan Subsidence Avoidance Plan and Groundwater Allocation Backstop (Sections 16.1.1.3, 16.1.1.5, and 16.1.1.6) will address the additional deficit that may occur under this scenario's extreme dry climate change conditions.

15.6.2 Undesirable Results Test
The Model was applied to predict future water level conditions with the implementation of the P/MAs and to assess if Undesirable Results50 would be expected to occur in the Basin between now and 2040, under 2030 Central Tendency Climate Change Scenario. To conduct this analysis, and as described further in Appendix H, the following modifications were made to the Projected Future Baseline version of the Model:
• Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 P/MAs were "added" directly to the Model to reflect the anticipated location and volume of the associated benefits. For example, new recharge project locations and anticipated volumetric benefits were represented spatially and in time-series in the Model inputs. 5 ° 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)".

• A constant head boundary was assigned near the boundary of the Basin to represent the expected condition wherein the adjacent basins also achieve sustainability (i.e., a minimum of 201S water levels} by 2040 and thereby reduce the adjacent basin-related impacts to conditions in the Basin. • The PRP implementation (i.e., the 42,000 AFY of overdraft reduction) was simulated to occur in the portions of the Basin where pumping reduction was most needed to address overdraft conditions. The simulation does not include additional pumping reduction due to adaptive management to avoid exceedance of MTs. Such reductions can be used to address local conditions and/or imbalances in the water budget.
Following Model revision and application, the hydrographs at 71 of the Representative Monitoring WellsWater Levels (RMW-Wls} that are explicitly represented in the Model were evaluated to assess if more than 2S percent of them exceeded their Minium Threshold (MT) between now and 2040. 51 As shown in Figure WB-5 and Appendix H, fewer than 2S percent of the RMW-Wls are projected to exceed their respective MTs in any given year between now and 2040 and no Undesirable Results are projected to occur with successful implementation of the P/MAs and the PRP.
15.6.3 Overdraft Elimination Test
SGMA requires that the Basin achieves sustainability by 2040. Under the assumption that sustainability means the elimination of groundwater overdraft by 2040, then demonstration of overdraft reduction by and following 2040 is critical.
Using the 2030 Central Tendency Climate Change with P/MAs Scenario, the water budget for the Basin was calculated for Water Year (WY) 2024-2073. The WY 2024-2073 period used for this analysis is the same as the Projected period defined in Section 9.1 and uses a repeat of the historical SO-year period from WY 1973 to WY 2022, as required under 23 CCR § 354.18(c). Development of this SO-year analog period and generation of the 2030 Central Tendency Climate Change with P/MAs Scenario follow the data, methodology, and assumptions outlined in Section 9.4. This simulation showcases the achievement of sustainability in the Basin through planned implementation of P/MAs and application of the Basin's adaptive PRP (Section 16.1.1} under the assumed climate conditions.
The simulation of P/MA benefits is highly correlated with the sequence of historical water years used to develop the SO-year analog period due to P/MA implementation's dependence on water year type, surface water delivery, estimated evapotranspiration, and the availability of surplus streamflow or surface water delivery. Consequently, prolonged and frequent droughts can lead to underestimating P/MA benefits and overestimating groundwater declines, storage loss, and water release due to subsidence.
The precise projection of future climate is impossible, and what is utilized for planning in this GSP is a single realization of a set of potential climate scenarios with infinite members. Recognizing these uncertainties, the GSAs designed the SO-year analog period to include significant dry periods during the implementation period (WY 2024-2040} and to reflect recent historical droughts at the end of the projection period. Furthermore, the GSAs used the most recent SO-year period available without making 51 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.

any changes to the arrangement of years or data timeseries, assuming an exact repeat of recent hydrology "."ould provide the best available method for planning. These assumptions aim to provide conservative estimates of storage loss and worst-case groundwater conditions during the implementation period (WY 2024-2039) while representing average hydrology in the years between WY 2040-2073.
As shown in Table WB-14, the average annual and cumulative storage change in the Upper Aquifer relative to WY 2015 conditions during WY 2016-2040 and WY 2041-2073 is positive, indicating sustainable conditions with no overdraft. The SGMA and DWR proposed methodology for assessing climate change impacts (DWR, 2018c) emphasizes using long-term periodic averages for GSP planning and sustainability evaluation, understanding hydroclimatic variability, and recognizing the need for operational flexibility.
However, the adaptive management framework adopted by the GSAs in the Basin allows for the proactive mitigation of overdraft, as demonstrated under this scenario through adaptive management pumping reduction.
Figure WB-6 (a) shows the projected cumulative aquifer storage change relative to WY 2015 conditions in the Upper Aquifer (i.e., the zero cumulative storage change reference value). As shown therein, assuming successful implementation of P/MAs and focused implementation of the PRP, Upper Aquifer storage will remain above WY 2015 levels throughout WY 2016-2073 period. The estimated usable storage in Fall 2014 (Section 13.2.2.1) is 8,649,619 acre-feet (AF) in the Upper Aquifer and 4,607,156 AF in the Lower Aquifer (13,256,775 AF in total).
Due to the significant impact of neighboring basins on Lower Aquifer storage change and subsidence, as discussed in Sections 9.3.3 and 9.4.4, the GSAs plan to achieve sustainability by WY 2040 in the Lower Aquifer, assuming that groundwater conditions in the neighboring basins will improve under SGMA implementation and resemble WY 2015 conditions. As shown in Table WB-14, the average annual and cumulative storage change in the Lower Aquifer during WY 2016-2040 and WY 2041-2073 relative to WY 2015 conditions are positive, indicating sustainable conditions with no overdraft. Further emphasizing the effectiveness of the GSAs' P/MAs and adaptive management pumping reduction, Figure WB-6 (b) shows that Lower Aquifer storage change will remain above WY 2015 levels starting from WY 2040, consistent with the Basin's Sustainability Goal.
The volumes shown in Table WB-14 and Figure WB-6 exclude water released by subsidence, representing the change in aquitard storage, due to its irrecoverable nature. However, under the same scenario, the average annual change in aquitard storage during WY 2041-2073 is well within the Model's computational error tolerance, confirming the mitigation of subsidence in the Basin. As discussed in Section 9.4.4, the Basin GSAs cannot mitigate the subsidence occurring in the Basin without the expected sustainable conditions in neighboring basins, as groundwater conditions outside the Basin cause more than SO percent of the observed subsidence within the Basin.
Figure WB-6 (c) shows how the implementation of the P/MAs and adaptive management through the PRP are projected to achieve sustainability at the Basin scale by WY 2040. The distribution of P/MA benefits based on different water year types and the application of the adaptive management (PRP) framework emphasizes the flexibility of the Basin's planning and implementation in absorbing uncertainties due to hydroclimatic variability. The significant improvement in Basin conditions after WY 2035, along with the substantial reduction in the need for adaptive management except in critical water years, showcases the effectiveness of the planned and implemented P/MAs.

Upon implementation of any P/MA, the regulatory and permitting requirements of the P/MA will be reexamined.
15.8 Status and Implementation Timetable
!ti 23 CCR§ 354.44(b)(4)
The status and implementation timetable of each P/MA are presented in Table PMA-2. The P/MA implementation schedule ("glide path") presented in Section 15.6 demonstrates that the planned P/MAs are sufficient to address the estimated Basin-wide overdraft over the historical and current period by 2030. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis was conducted that demonstrates the Basin's planned P/MAs are sufficient to address potential overdraft under projected 2070 Dry Climate Change conditions and if only SO percent of supply augmentation occurs.
15.9 Expected Benefits
!ti 23 CCR§ 354.44(b)(5)
The different categories of expected benefits are presented above in Section 15.2.2, and the specific expected benefits of each P/MA are presented in Table PMA-2. Below is a discussion of how the expected benefits will be evaluated. Section 15.6 presents the Model's representation of the P /MA benefits as well in terms of eliminating overdraft and avoiding Undesirable Results.
15.9.1 Evaluation of Benefits
Each P/MA has anticipated benefits related to water quantity, with several P/MAs having secondary benefits related to water quality, flood control, and/or water management flexibility. Once a P/MA is implemented, GSAs shall evaluate, ideally to quantify, the benefits resulting from that P/MA.
P/MA benefits will be evaluated based on changes observed in the Basin-wide SGMA monitoring network.
For example, benefits for supply augmentation projects will be quantified directly through measurement of recharge flows and corresponding response in water levels in Representative Monitoring Wells for Chronic Lowering of Groundwater Levels (RMW-WLS; Section 14.2.1). For P/MAs with water quality benefits, evaluation of benefits will be done through regular water quality monitoring of nearby Representative Monitoring Wells for Degraded Water Quality (RMW-WQs) (Section 14.2.4). The GSAs will evaluate and report resulted benefits from implemented P/MAs as part of the Basin's annual reporting process and in the GSP Periodic Evaluations.
As discussed above, although the P/MAs described herein are laid out along a general timetable defined by incremental elimination of the Basin's overdraft (i.e., the "glide path"), the goals and objectives of P/MA implementation are to ensure that Undesirable Results for relevant Sustainability Indicators are avoided by the end of the SGMA implementation period (i.e., by 2040). For this reason, the GWL-MT Avoidance Plan (Section 16.1.1.3), WQ-MT Exceedance Plan (Section 16.1.1.4), and Subsidence Avoidance Plan (Section 16.1.1.5) will be implemented as needed to mitigate potential Undesirable Results that may occur before 2030, or beyond as necessary.

15.10 Source and Reliability of Water from Outside the Basin li:1 23 CCR§ 354.44(b)(6)
DELTAMENDOTA
SGMA
Several of the P/MAs discussed below and shown in Table PMA-1 rely on additional water supplies from outside the Basin. Specifically, certain P/MAs rely on the availability of water during normal to wet years to fill surface storage, conduct managed recharge, and offset groundwater pumping. Also, several of the GSA parent districts have water supply rights and contracts as described in the Basin Setting Section of the GSP. Use of these rights and allocation criteria are spelled out in the permits and include access to high flow water for recharge as well as irrigation which can be used to meet many of the needs of P/MAs.
Pursuant to Water Code Section 1425, the SWRCB may authorize the Temporary Water Right Permit for an entity to appropriate water by temporary permit. A temporary permit is a conditional approval to divert and use available water that has not been claimed by an existing water right holder. There are two options for temporary permits for groundwater recharge, the 180-Day Temporary Permit and the 5-Year Permit.
The 180-Day Temporary Permit for groundwater recharge may be appropriate for short-term projects where an urgent need exists, and the 5-Year Permit for groundwater recharge is a temporary authorization for local agencies to divert water to underground storage. As discussed in Section 15.1, the SWRCB authorized and approved a Temporary Water Right Permit for AWD to divert available San Joaquin River flood water from the Chowchilla Bypass. AWD continues to pursue a permanent appropriative water right permit. A standard water right application was accepted in 2021 and is currently under review by the SWRCB. A similar permit and an application for an appropriative water right were also filed for P/MA NDM-4 I SJREC-7. In the future, flood water may be used to implement groundwater recharge.
The reliability of surface water deliveries from outside the Basin depends on hydrology. During drought conditions, surface water deliveries are anticipated to decrease. However, some entities within the Basin have relatively more reliable surface water supplies due to their senior water rights. Entities including SJ REC, Patterson Irrigation District, and West Stanislaus Irrigation District receives a 100 percent allocation in all water year types except for the Shasta Critical years, during which the SJREC will receive a reduced surface water allocation. Projected surface water delivery is discussed in Section 9.4 and varies based on Climate Change factors. The volume of surface water deliveries is anticipated to decrease under the various Climate Change Scenarios relative to the Baseline Scenario. These projected scenarios have been considered to inform future planning and decision-making.
15.11 Legal Authority Required
li:1 23 CCR§ 354.44(b)(7)
Each of the 23 Basin GSAs is a Party in the development and implementation of this GSP, which is formalized in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA; Appendix D). Each Party and member agency (as listed in Table lntro-1), possesses the legal authority to implement the supply augmentation P/MAs discussed herein as water-providing entities (i.e., as Cities, water districts, irrigation districts, public water systems, resource conservation districts, and private water companies).
As GSAs, per California Water Code (CWC) § 10725 through 10726.8, the Basin GSAs possess the legal authority necessary to implement the demand management P/MAs described herein and will either act July 2024

15.12 Estimated Costs and Plans to Meet Them
(ti' 23 CCR§ 354.44(b)(8)
Estimated costs for each P/MA are presented in Table PMA-2. In all cases the costs are considered approximate subject to refinement. These costs include "one-time" costs, such as capital costs associated with construction, feasibility studies, design, permitting, environmental compliance, or other costs required to initiate a given P/MA. It should be noted that depending on the source and nature of funding for the P/MAs, the one-time costs may or may not be incurred entirely at the beginning of the P/MA; in some instances, loans or other financing options may allow for spreading out of "one-time" costs over time.
Potential sources of funding for the various P/MAs including the following:
• General funds and taxes, generally supported by fees charged to landowners or water users within each jurisdiction. Some GSAs, including Grassland GSA have already conducted assessments on landowners to cover the administrative costs of SGMA planning, implementation, and monitoring. • Financing through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) as part of the Water Recycling Funding Program (WRFP) and other similar low-cost loan programs. • Grant program funding from sources including but not limited to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), SWRCB, California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA), United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or USBR, such as:
o Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Grant Programs o Storm Water Grant Program
o SGM Grant Program
o Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WllN) Grant o WaterSMART Program
15.13 Management of Recharge and Groundwater Extractions (ti' 23 CCR§ 354.44{b)(9)
As stated in Section 9, the water budget deficit (overdraft) within the Basin is estimated to have been approximately 140,000 AFY over the 2003-2023 time period (the "historical" and "current" water budget time periods). Modeling scenarios indicate that a combination of both supply augmentation and pumping reduction actions will be required for the Basin to avoid Undesirable Results.
One primary means by which the deficit will be addressed is through the implementation of P/MAs that obtain additional outside sources of water, in particular during normal to wet years. Many of the projects discussed herein and shown in Table PMA-1 and Table PMA-2 take advantage of additional normal to wet July 2024

year supplies that have been analyzed and shown to be available. These P/MAs include various direct recharge projects and projects that increase storage capacity and delivery flexibility. Supply augmentation P/MAs are designed to increase the likelihood that groundwater levels and storage declines during future drought periods will be offset, to the extent possible, by increases in groundwater levels and storage during other periods, especially during wet years.
In addition to these supply augmentation P/MAs, the portfolio also includes policy-based management actions aimed at reducing groundwater pumping, namely the Basin-wide PRP (Section 16.1.1). Through this combination of increased recharge during wet years and pumping reduction, the P/MA efforts will ensure that chronic lowering of groundwater levels and storage during drought will be offset by increases in groundwater levels and storage during other periods.

This project involves an agreement between counties and their respective GSA(s) to review any new well drilling permits within the county, including white areas. All counties in the Basin have developed and/or revi sed internal well-permitting policies to include consultation with GSAs on the location of proposed wells.
These policies now also involve GSA oversight on aspects such as well depth, perforated intervals, extractions from the upper and lower aquifers, and the appropriate installation of appurtenances like flowmeters to determine if the pumping associated with a new well will cause Undesirable Results in the GSA's jurisdictional area and ensure that groundwater extractions are metered or measured in some fashion. These GSA Well All Counties/ policies allow GSAs to incorporate any new wells into management programs developed in this GSP. The Permitting and All GSAs agreement also benefits the counties by alleviating the counties' management workloads as GSAs step into Metering the additional responsibilities designated by SGMA. While the counties are ultimately responsible for approving well permits, GSA review of the permits helps ensure that new wells are compliant with current and future sustainable practices.
Additionally, installing flow meters on all irrigation wells (current and future) allows for better management of groundwater extractions by allowing the GSA to quantify pumping and its effects on groundwater storage, quality, and other sustainability indicators. Collection of volumetric groundwater extraction data are necessary to implement the Basin's Pumping Reduction Plan.
Several GSAs have required that all wells be cataloged and registered . Individual GSAs are or will keep a GSAwide well database that include information about well construction, pump sizes, extraction amounts, water All Counties/ quality, etc. In some cases, landowners may be asked for any information available on their wells (well logs, Well Cataloging All GSAs pump tests, water quality reports, etc.). If well construction information was not available, or wells are not metered, landowners may be required to provide or acquire other information in order to calculate pumping, such as video logging wells
Since January 1, 2020, AWD has levied a groundwater extraction fee of $13.44/AF. Groundwater use is estimated based on a cropping-data estimate, or the grower may opt to provide flow meter data . AWD may adjust this fee following a Proposition 218 hearing. Landowners importing surface water receive up to a 4:1 Groundwater credit against groundwater extraction fees.

Tranquillity Irrigation District maintains and operates 26 wells that extract water from the Lower Aquifer and four wells from the Upper Aquifer (agricultural and municipal supply). At times, depending on the water year, the 30 wells have pumped from the two aquifers continuously. Based on historic records, the most groundwater pumped in a single year was 24,000 AF . Beginning in 2017, TRIO revised the pumping regime from the Lower Aquifer within district boundaries, allowing roughly only 10 wells to be operational at a time and shutting the wells off at night to allow for drawdown to recover. Under this revised pumping regime, the most water to be pumped within a year will be around 8,000 AF. During Average and Wet WYs, an estimated 1,000 AF could be pumped from the Lower Aquifer. During Dry WYs, up to 8,000 AF could be pumped from the Lower Aquifer. Tranquillity Irrigation District began implementing this revised pumping regime in 2017, with actual Lower Aquifer groundwater extractions totaling 200 AFY each in 2017 and 2018.
The City of Patterson ha s implemented drought contingency planning in urban areas in order to prepare for and respond to water shortages during times of drought. Urban water suppliers are already requ ired to address water shortage contingency planning in their Urban Water Management Plans prepared every five years. These planning strategies can be expanded upon, if necessary, and applied in order to minimize impacts to groundwater storage and water levels when supplies become limited .
Allocations for sustainable yield and transitional water have been established for irrigated acres within the Madera Madera County GSA- Delta Mendota Subbasin . The allocations decrease over time per set schedule until the County GSA- sustainable yield is met. From 2021 to 2025, allocations were designed to reduce transitiona l water by 2% DeltaMendota annua lly. Transitional water will be reduced by 6% annually from 2025 to 2040 pending the GSP Periodic SJ REC
Evaluation.
The member entities of the SJREC allow landowners to pump private well water into the district facilities for credit. However, the SJ REC entities have implemented a policy to regu late pumping and minimize impacts to at-risk areas. In the 1990's, the entities were divided up into management areas, now termed monitoring zones. The SJ REC Board adopted a policy to establish trigger water levels to restrict the mining of groundwater in impacted areas and prohibit the export of groundwater out of an impacted area if the water level is below the trigger level. Additionally, all water pumped for credit must meet water quality standards, and there is a maximum allowable total volume that can be pumped for credit, which is further limited by the amount of groundwater which can be pumped without damaging other landowners or depleting groundwater storage. A groundwater consultant may be required to determine the potential impacts of pumping the well for credit. Pumping for cred it must be terminated if the pumping has a detrimental impact on neighboring wells or on the groundwater table. Since 2000, about 70% of the total pumping was subject to the curtailment of these policies .

Proponent Summary Description
The SJREC, particularly FCWD and a portion of CCID (Camp 13), have been engaged in litigation over the migration of poor quality (high electrical conductivity and high selenium) from upslope drainage areas to the south and west. While this issue remains unresolved, FCWD and CCID have developed several management actions to help control the further migration of this poor-quality groundwater. FCWD and Camp 13 have a perched water table, that if not controlled, would cause the overlying land to be unfarmable. Landowners in CCID and FCWD have installed buried tile lines (subsurface drainage) to control the perched groundwater table in the area and are participating in the San Joaquin River Improvement Project to manage subsurface FCWD I CCID drain water produced within the region . One successful management action for the region has been the implementation of the various components of the Westside Regional Drainage Plan. Four effective strategies have been implemented to reduce drainage discharge including 1) source control, 2) groundwater management, 3) drainage reuse and 4) treatment and disposal. Source control reduces the volume of water contributing to subsurface drainage by reducing deep percolation of applied water and reducing seepage from canals and ditches. In 2002, through a joint study between the SJ REC and the USBR, it was determined that the pumping of strategically placed wells could lower the perched water table and reduce discharge of subsurface drainage systems. As a result, 18 wells have been installed and have successfully reduced the discharge from subsurface drainage systems.
SJ REC
Each yea r the SJREC prepare an annual report (Report) of the current and historical conditions of groundwater. The report includes: pumping volumes, pump tests, water quality, and water levels. This report is reviewed by our Hydrogeologist, who prepares a supplemental assessment report. The hydrogeologist makes a recommendation on how each monitoring zone (or sub-area) within the SJ REC area should be managed for the current year. The primary management tool is to review water levels in impacted areas.
Historically, the hydrogeologist has recommended limiting the export of groundwater in those impacted areas if the groundwater elevation is below an established trigger level.

AWD has acquired temporary rights to divert up to 10,000 AFY of unappropriated high-flow waters from the Chowchilla Bypass via existing flap gates, non-permanent pump stations, and future turnouts into AWD.
During extreme wet years, non-contracted water sourced from high-flow events is released into the SJR .
When the lower reaches of the SJR are at capacity, water is diverted from those lower reaches into the Chowchilla Bypass, a man-made flood control structure that bisects AWD. The Chowchilla Bypass only runs during high-flow years when the combined flows from both the SJR and the Kings River exceed the capacity X of the lower SJR. Temporary water rights are applied for on an annual basis until permanent water rights can be acquired by the GSA (application under review by SWRCB). The temporary water rights allow AWD to capture surface water during high-flow events from the Chowchilla Bypass and implement groundwater recharge, in-lieu recharge , and flood relief projects . Water diverted from the Chowchilla Bypass can be applied directly to crops or used for direct recharge in the Chowchilla Bypass Recharge Facility (see AWD-3).

AWD
This project includes a turnout to divert water from the Chowchilla Bypass, a pipeline, and an 80-acre recharge basin constructed on land previously used for irrigated agriculture. The primary purpose of this facility is to divert unappropriated high-flow waters from the Chowchilla Bypass via a new turnout to be owned and operated by AWD. Until the permanent turnout is constructed, a temporary turnout will be utilized beginning in 2023. Water will be delivered from the Bypass to the proposed Facility via a pipeline.
The main objective of the project is to divert an average of approximately 10,000 AF of water per year during wet years. Once other conveyance projects are developed (Bypass Crossing Pipeline or Aliso Lateral), this project would also be able to utilize non-flood water.
The Los Banos Creek Diversion Facility is located just upstream of where the DMC siphon crosses the Los Banos Creek. The project consists of a gated check structure spanning Los Banos Creek, a turnout structure on the creek, an outlet structure on the DMC, and a box culvert connecting the turnout and outlet. The operation of this facility kee ps the first 50 cfs of flood flows released from the Los Banos Creek Detention CDM2 I Los Banos Creek SJREC / SLWD Reservoir in the creek to maintain historical recharge and can divert up to 250 cfs of flood releases into the GWD-l I Diversion / GWD DMC. The source water for this project is from runoff in the Los Banos Creek watershed and is put to SJREC-5 Facility beneficial use during times of reservoir releases. The project is designed to also deliver water from the DMC into the Los Banos Creek. This project provides additional flood protection to the City of Los Banos, a Disadvantaged Community, and also provides wetland benefits through relieved pressure from flood flows on wetland habitat and an additional useable water supply.
The Los Banos Creek Detention Dam (LBCDD) and Los Banos Creek Detention Reservoir (LBCDR) are CVP facilities constructed to provide flood control protection to the San Luis Canal. The LBCDR because of its proximity also provides flood protection to the City of Los Banos. Currently the dam is strictly operated as a flood control facility during the late fall and winter months. A group of local agencies have proposed to operate the LBCDD in the spring to route natural Los Banos Creek flows to riparian lands downstream of the faci lity making space available for storage and thereby increasing the overall benefit of the Los Banos Creek CDM-3 I Los Banos Creek SJREC / SLWD Diversion Facility. The purpose of the Project is to more effectively manage the LBCDR in order to maximize GWD-2 / . SJREC-6 Storage Proiect I GWD flood control and downstream benefits while maintaining recreational use of the reservoir. The water July 2024
pumped into the reservoir for storage by the Project Participants wou ld be either conserved water or groundwater. During the flood control season, and potentially year-round, water in the reservoir would be allowed to accumulate and be released from the reservoir to meet Project Participant riparian demand .
Starting in the spring, the project participants would pump their conserved water or groundwater into available LBCDD space for temporary storage and return to one or all participant to meet peak irrigation or wildlife water management demands.

The GSAs have adopted a policy committing to collectively reduce the total groundwater pumping in the Basin by at least 42,000 AFY by 2030. Starting in January 2025 and for each year over the subsequent five years, each GSA Group will accomplish at least 20% of its total apportioned pumping reduction, accomplishing the total minimum reduction by the end of 2030. The GSA will determine and adopt by September 2024 the technical framework(s) under which pumping reductions can be achieved. The Pumping Reduction Plan also includes a Monitoring and Data Collection Plan, Groundwater Level Minimum Threshold Avoidance Plan, Water Quality Minimum Threshold Exceedance Plan, and Su bsidence Mitigation Plan, as detailed in Section 16.1.1 of this GSP.
Voluntary land fallowing is contingent on the willingness of farmers to either temporarily or permanently fallow their land . Farmers could be offered incentives to volunteer to fallow their fields through subsidies, land purchases, and water credits for other fields. All farmers could pay into a GSA fund established by AWD, which could then be used as a subsidy to farmers who choose to fallow their land on a seasonal/annu al basis.
Farmers could take a portion of the water normally to be used on the fallowed acreage and apply it to different fields for a reduction in the fallow subsidy. For example, once an almond orchard has reached the end of its useful life, instead of the owner replanting, they would receive an incentive from the GSA not to replant. Another option cou ld be incentives for crop conversion to lower demand crops . Replacing existing crops with lower-demand crops cou ld increase basin sustainability and reduce groundwater overdraft through a reduction in extractions for irrigation

The City of Patterson's 2018 Water Master Plan evaluated various water supply portfolios to meet anticipated future supply gaps (i.e., the City's existing supply subtracted from future demands). The two most relevant portfolios include the Patterson Control Portfolio and Low Reliance on Groundwater (2) Portfolio.
The preferred portfolio, Patterson Control Portfolio, provides the City independent control of its water supply City of and easier implementation of water supply projects. The Low Reliance on Groundwater (2) Portfolio would Patterson diversify the City's water supply portfolio to reduce the City' s groundwater use with the addition of a longterm surface water transfer in which the City negotiates a long-term contract to purchase water from another entity. The City could explore a long-term water transfer and move forward towards the Low Reliance on Groundwater (2) Portfolio to further reduce groundwater extractions from the Lower Aquifer, if needed .

AWD
AWD
Section 215 of t he Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (Public Law 97-293) defines temporary non-storable water supplies that can be released by the USBR from their facilities . The release of Section 215 water occurs during years of above-average precipitation when water levels encroach on flood-control levels. Section 215 flows are defined as unusual ly large temporary water supplies that cannot be stored for project purposes.
Acquiring a Section 215 contract allows these flows to be applied to lands that would otherwise not receive Federal water. This water would be accessed by the District from the San Joaquin River through existing turnouts if made available from the CVP Friant system.
There is potential for AWD to bank water on behalf of other entities. AWD's proximity to the Mendota Pool gives them a connection to various sources of water. This water could be banked within AWD via direct or inlieu methods. Additionally, AWD's vast number of wells would have the capacity to return the banked water.
AWD would bank the water through an unbalanced exchange. For example, they could take 3 AF of wet year X water from an agency and return 1 AF in a dry year (3:1 exchange). This nets 2 AF of import available to AWD's sustainable yield . It is recognized that any banking projects within Madera County will need to be in compliance with groundwater exporting and banking regulations per Madera County.

AWD
AWD
AWD

Cursory investigations indicate that prior to the formation of the AWD, water rights have historically existed in the area. This land was originally partially Miller and Lux land holdings. The lands were su bsequently and progressively subdivided to their current state. An appropriative water right license (License 1986) originally served the Aliso Canal from a turnout on the San Joaquin River. With the development of the CVP Friant System, this appropriation was sold to the USBR. Later court cases (Haines Decree, Rank Vs. Krug) awarded riparian water rights and groundwater to lands adjacent to the SJ R. The District will consider investigating whether latent rights to water exist and to what extent.
AWD's proximity to the SJR and the Mendota Pool makes it possible to receive CVP water from either the Friant or Westside systems . Purchasing an assignment of CVP contract water could provide a secure supply of water to the District on a long-term basis. It also streamlines access to Section 215 water and transfers with other contractors.
The AWD GSA could exchange, transfer, or purchase water from other public or private agencies as opportunities arise. This water is likely to be expensive and would probably be negotiated on an annual basis .
Water could be used within AWD for direct or indirect recharge to help alleviate overdraft conditions and establish aquifer sustainability. If a lack of infrastructure prevents purchased water from being used within the GSA, agreements could be made with neighboring agencies to bank or recharge the water on behalf of AWD.
The current condition of the Aliso Cana I turnout does not allow for adequate flow through it except during extremely high flows . Presently, the district cannot physically divert water at this turnout until the flow in the San Joaquin River at the Gravelly Ford gaging station is 3,000 cfs. There are two reasons for this : 1) the turnout sits too high above the San Jcaquin River invert to allow water to enter, and 2) lack of maintenance in the river has created an impediment prohibiting the water from reaching the turnout. Improving the existing turnout on the San Joaquin R ver would allow AWD to access water at lower flow rates which could facilitate access to non-flood water (e.g., transfers) as well as excess flood waters at lower flow rates without relying on the Chowchilla Bypass. Access to water from this location would also encourage the development of other projects such as restoration of the Aliso Ca nal and usage of the Aliso Lateral as a recharge facility.
This project would reestablish use of the Aliso Ca nal from the Sa n Joaquin River at the Aliso Turnout (southerly border) to Cottonwood Creek in order to provide landowners with access to su rface water. The Aliso Canal once started at the San Joaquin River and terminated just south of t he Fresno River. As the farmland in the area was subdivided, the channel was filled in and farmed on by individual landowners. With the reestablishment of the Aliso Canal, properties on the easternmost side of the District would have opportunities to utilize surface water diverted from the Chowchilla Bypass or the San Joaquin River for irrigation or recharge. This project has the potential to double the amount of acreage that can currently utilize surface water, essentially doubling the amount of surface water diverted into the district. This project will be feasible once the Aliso Canal turnout is improved and a turnout is established on the Chowchilla Bypass at Cottonwood Creek.

Groundwater injection wells recharge groundwater by pumping surface water into the aquifer through a well or set of wells . This type of recharge can be beneficial for recharging the lower aquifer as well as the upper.
Injection wells have the same benefits as recharge basins, but they pose a vastly different set of challenges .
Injection wells are not as limited by available land due to their small footprint and are not affected by As-needed to meet Groundwater SMCs and address Public noticing as part of AWD-18 AWD evaporation losses. They are dependent on soil types for recharge rates, but not in the same way as recharge x x x CEQA Not yet initiated Injection Wells basins. Challenges unique to injection wells are the need to treat surface water prior to injection to protect groundwater deficit; CEQA aquifer water quality, variations in recharge rates due to differing water quality, the dangers of air content likely after 2035 between injected water and groundwater, and the time and budget challenges associated with additional permitting. Existing water wells may be useable for retrofitting to injections wells.
