The GSP development process includes: coordination of GSA activities with consultants, Tribes, and GSA partner agencies to develop GSP components; outreach to stakeholders to ensure participation and input; inclusion and communication with Tribes to ensure federally-reserved tribal water rights are respected; creation of data management system capable of storing and reporting GSP information; water resources monitoring program preparation (e.g., groundwater levels, pumping, quality); create a hydrogeologic model of the Subbasin that defines the Basin setting and water budget; develop a description of the GSP area; establish sustainable management criteria including a sustainability goal, measurable objectives, minimum thresholds, undesirable results, and a monitoring network; identify projects and management actions to achieve sustainability goals; and develop a GSP implementation plan. The Upper San Luis Rey Groundwater Management Authority intends to work collaboratively with stakeholders to develop a GSP for the entire Subbasin that is acceptable to DWR, complies with SGMA, and respects federally-reserved tribal water rights. The GSA partner agencies remain committed to considering the interests of all beneficial uses and users of groundwater.
