Incomplete GSP Resubmission Notices
Two notices were provided - one by the County of Madera and one by the City of Madera. The notices indicate that the County and City were each aware for more than 90 days of the Madera Subbasin GSAs' process of revising and resubmitting the four coordinated Subbasin GSPs in response to DWR's September 22, 2022, letter determining that the coordinated Subbasin GSPs were incomplete. The County and City were aware of the process for more than 90 days from the date of this letter (i.e., from the time of DWR's letter) and consulted directly and through consultants with all parties throughout the process.
03/20/2023 - revised Joint GSP adoption hearing by City of Madera GSA. 03/21/2023 - revised Joint GSP adoption hearing by Madera County GSA - Madera, Madera Irrigation District GSA, and Madera Water District GSA.
