AGSA Eligibility Determination

Provide a description of your local agency's water supply, water management, or land use responsibilities within the groundwater basin / basins you intend to manage.
The County of Tuolumne is responsible for land use planning including the issuance of well permits for groundwater extraction in the unincorporated portions of the County. However, the County is not a water purveyor as that responsibility falls to water districts located within the County. Water supply in the County varies. A portion of the population receives water services from water districts whereas others receive water from private wells or other sources.
Are you an "exclusive local agency" listed in Water Code �10723(c)?
