SGMA Back ckground

  • The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) is a package of

three bills (AB 1739, SB 1168, SB 1319) that was signed into law in 2014. Sustainability Defined The management and use of groundwater in a manner that can be maintained during the planning and implementation horizon (50 years) without causing undesirable results.

SGMA Back ckground

  • 127 groundwater basins statewide

must comply

  • Sustainability must be achieved within

20 years

  • Requirement to manage groundwater

under a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP)

  • Local control is a hallmark of SGMA

  • Any public agency with water supply, water management or

land use responsibilities.

  • GSA(s) must develop and implement a GSP to meet the

locally defined sustainability goal and to engage stakeholders.

  • Two GSAs in Sierra Valley Basin: Sierra Valley Groundwater

Management District and Plumas County GSA for small area

  • f the Sierra Valley Basin outside the jurisdiction of the

District.

Su Summary ry of f In Interconnection Be Between Undes esirable le Res esult lts

  • Groundwater levels are directly impacted by pumping
  • When pumping exceeds “recharge”, groundwater levels fall

(known as “overdraft”)

  • Extensive overdraft causes subsidence (collapse of soil structure

evidenced by reduction in surface elevation)

  • Subsidence is loss of storage capacity (reduced pore space)
  • Overdraft causes “cone of depression” and migration of pollutants

toward center of cone of depression

  • Overdraft reduces quantity of water flowing from groundwater

system to Feather River, affecting habitat and downstream users
