The Authority will continue to seek the input of its neighbors and interest groups during the implementation of the Groundwater Management Plan and any future planning efforts. 1.5 Consistency with Water Code Section 10750 et. seq. Groundwater management is the planned and coordinated effort to sustain or improve the health of a groundwater basin in order to meet the future water supply needs of groundwater users. With the passage of Assembly Bill (AB) 3030 in 1992, local water agencies were provided a systematic way of formulating groundwater management plans and a means to implement those plans through fees and assessments. AB 3030 also encourages coordination between local entities through joint power authorities or memorandums of understanding. In 2002, the passage of Senate Bill (SB) 1938 further emphasized the need for groundwater management in California. SB 1938 requires AB 3030 groundwater management plans to contain specific plan components in order to receive state funding for water projects. Table 1-4 illustrates the recommended components of a groundwater management plan as outlined in AB 3030 and the required sections under SB 1938. On July 9, 2003, the Authority Board of Directors held a public hearing to initiate the formulation of this Plan. The hearing was formally noticed per Water Code Section 10750 et. seq. and a Resolution of Intent to Prepare a Groundwater Management Plan was adopted by the Authority Board of Directors. Table 1-4 also indexes the sections of this Plan where the recommended or required AB 3030/SB 1938 components are addressed.
