Status of Sustainable Groundwater July 6, 2020 Management Act Implementation

•Technical •Draft Recent Key Accomplishments Hydrogeological Conceptual Model •Potential Groundwater Dependent

Data Review and Assessment • Tech memos describing data assessment, data gaps, recommendations for GW monitoring, Sampling and Analysis Six Month Plan (late 2020 or early 2021) Look Ahead Hydrogeological Conceptual Model • Final updates prepared • Future presentations will include 3D rendering Groundwater Model Update and Readiness • Peer review commencement • Technical memos prepared

Groundwater Surface Water Interconnection • Efforts continue to gain site access and permissions for equipment installation (piezometers, water Six Month level data loggers and temperature probes) Look Ahead • In mean time- careful review of existing data from wells and preparation of a tech memo.

Water Budget Development • Historical, current, and future water budgets will be prepared. Six Month Look Ahead

Outreach • Completion of Workshop 5 on Groundwater/Surface Water Interaction Six Month • Pre workshop meeting of SAC, Workshop, post workshop meeting, Look Ahead completion of final outreach report • Completion of Workshop 6 on Water Budgets • Same meeting steps as above

• Delays in implementing field work • Mitigate by preparation of a specific study of existing data, and more evaluation with groundwater flowmodel Challenges

• Scope for GSP Technical Consultant has broadened- need for additional meetings, inefficiency related to COVID-19 delays, more detailed SAC and Workshop process. • SCV-GSA budget includes a 15% contingency Fiscal for GSP Technical Consultant ($187,733) • Staff evaluating workflow and cost options. • Anticipate special Board meeting to consider options to authorize use of contingency funds.

• Significant work last quarter. • Schedule concern with field work being mitigated. Summary • Next six months including finalization of technical studies, ongoing robust SAC process and workshops
