A small portion of the boundary of EKGSA appears to cross into the Tule Basin. EKGSA is aware of the issue, which appears to affect less than 50 acres of land. It does not appear that the discrepancy is based on hydrological conditions. At the appropriate time, EKGSA will bring a basin boundary modification to resolve the discrepancy.
