5. Groundwater Communication Portal
Part of the Sub-Basin wide Coordination Effort, funded by the County’s Distressed Basins Grant.
Provides one location for Interested Parties to view the calendars for each GSA and for Sub-Basin Management activities.
Also provides the GSAs with the ability to gather information on Interested Parties and track their respective outreach efforts.
Site is scheduled to be live for the 9/19/18 Sub-Basin Management Team Meeting.

8. Numerical Model Phase 1: KDWCD MODFLOW model review is complete.
Model Assessment TM delivered to GSA Managers and reviewed by the GKGSA TAC.
Comments to be provided to GEI and GSI by 9/18/2018.
Phase 2: Expand the model spatially and temporarily
Work underway includes establishment of boundary conditions for the Sub-Basin model and inputting ET data from Davids Engineering.
Estimated Completion Date: November 2018
Phase 3: GSA specific model runs
Late 2018/Early 2019

9. Data Management System
Data that has been formatted and being uploaded to DMS:
Well Locations
Groundwater Levels
Water Quality Data from Responsive Agencies and Utilities
Subsidence
Data currently being formatted for upload to DMS:
Lithology
Well Construction
Water Quality Data (as it is received)

10. Sub-Basin Level Basin Setting
A preliminary draft of the narrative and maps for the Sub- Basin level Basin Setting report have been completed.
Maps are being formatted for consistency and to include additional information as it becomes available.
The narrative is being reviewed by and revised as needed.
Report available for GSA Managers’ review by mid- September, 2018.

11. Undesirable Results & SMCs
The Management Team Technical Working Group has met to discuss the Sub-Basin wide definitions of Undesirable Results and how to establish Management Areas with Basin-wide Hydrogeologic Zones.
Undesirable Results definitions will be presented at the Sub-Basin Management Team meeting, and discussed at each GSA’s respective TAC for recommendations.
Hydrogeologic Zones will also be reviewed at the Sub-Basin Management Team meeting. These will be used to establish thresholds within each zone and can be used to create Management Areas within the GSAs.

12. SMCs – Next Steps
Once Undesirable Results definitions are finalized, the TACs will review data for each Management Area to set Sustainable Management Criteria (SMCs) in coordination with the other GSAs.
Minimum Thresholds, Measurable Objectives, and Interim Milestones will be coordinated, depending on the Management Area’s location with respect to the other GSA(s).
The GSAs still maintain control over projects and management actions necessary to meet the Measurable Objectives in their respective areas.

13. GSP Development Introduction Chapter
Draft narrative and six of the eight maps for this chapter are available for review and comment.
The two outstanding maps are being developed and will be made available for review prior to the October TAC meeting.
Well Density by Well Type
Land Use by Water Source Type
Comments on this chapter to be provided to GEI to incorporate in further revisions.

14. GSP Development Basin Setting Chapter
Will be mostly based upon the Sub-Basin Level Basin Setting report.
The narrative will highlight conditions and features specific to GKGSA.
Completion of the Draft GKGSA Basin Setting Chapter by mid-October, 2018.

15. GSP Development Monitoring Network Chapter Consists of 3 parts:
A description of existing monitoring programs and the data collected
Identification of data gaps with respect to the requirements of SGMA
Plans to address the data gaps identified in the 2020 GSP
The first two parts of the Draft GKGSA Monitoring Network Chapter to be completed for review by the October TAC Meeting.
Plans to address data gaps to be developed with guidance from GKGSA.

16. Communication & Engagement Plan
Stantec has prepared and made a draft of the GKGSA Communication & Engagement Plan available for review to the Stakeholders and Rural Communities Committees.
Presented on 9/5/18 and is available in today’s materials.
Comments from committees’ members to be provided to Stantec for incorporation in further revisions.
