The San Antonio Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency (SABGSA) was formed pursuant to a joint exercise of powers agreement (?JPA Agreement?) executed on May 16, 2017. It is a joint powers authority comprised of two local agencies: the Cachuma Resource Conservation District and the Los Alamos Community Services District. The JPA Agreement confers on SABGSA the full scope of groundwater management responsibilities necessary for the implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). The Cachuma Resource Conservation District (CRCD) was formed pursuant to California Public Resources Code section 9001 et seq. and is a local public agency. (See Pub. Res. Code § 9161-68, 9181-82; see also SWRCB GSA Issues Website, SWRCB Letter to Kara Heckert re RCD Eligibility [Apr. 12, 2016].) CRCD?s authority includes, but is not limited to, water supply and water management within its jurisdiction. (See Pub. Res. Code §§ 9409, 9411, 9415, 9151.) The Santa Barbara County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) formed the CRCD in September 1992 by consolidating the Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Cuyama Resource Conservation Districts (LAFCO Resolution 92-503). In July 1996, LAFCO further consolidated the CRCD with the Lompoc Resource Conservation District (LAFCO Resolution 96-291). The Los Alamos Community Services District (LACSD) was formed pursuant to California Government Code section 61000 et seq. and is a local public agency with water supply and water management authority. (Gov. Code § 61100.) Although SABGSA does not have land use authority, the JPA Agreement provides that the County of Santa Barbara will participate in SGMA implementation through representation on a Groundwater Sustainability Plan Committee.
