ERequired Documents

Provide a list of interested parties developed pursuant to Water Code Section 10723.2 and an explanation of how their interests will be considered in the development and operation of the GSA and the development and implementation of the GSP.
The GSA has and will continue to closely work with landowners to make sure their needs are met. The GSA area is primarily agriculture and as such farmers make up the bulk of the land owners. However, we will also take into consideration domestic well owners, environmental users, surface water users, and any California Native Tribe's issues or needs as per Water Code Section 10723.2. As the area's land owners may change the GSA will need to adapt with the change in land owners. The GSA has already reached out to land owners via USPS and has personally met with many as well as noticing the GSA formation. As this process continues takes shape the GSA will continue to take all comments and issues into consideration when making decisions or policy.
Provide a list of the other agencies managing or proposing to manage groundwater within the basin, or upload a document or map that provides the same information.
