they involve capital projects. No management actions currently related to pumping activities or groundwater allocations have been proposed for the t ; Subbasin; however, GSAs maintain the flexibility to implement such demand-side management actions in the future if need is determined; and WHEREAS the GSP provides in Section 7.5: Each of the 16 GSAs are administered independently and involve meetings and oversight of individual GSA projects and programs . . . . Other administrative actions may involve tracking and evaluating GSP implementation and sustainability conditions as well as assessing the benefit to the Subbasin; and WHEREAS, the GSP provides in Section 7.6: SGMA requires that GSPs be evaluated regarding their progress towards meeting the approved sustainability goals at least every 5 years and to provide a written assessment to DWR. An evaluation must also be made whenever the GSP is amended. A description of the information that will be included in the 5-year report is provided below and would be prepared in a matter consistent with CCR Title 23 § 356.4; and WHEREAS the GSP provides in Section 7.1 that annual reports required by SGMA will continually monitor movement towards sustainability and will: . . . contain a description of current groundwater conditions for each sustainability indicator and will include a discussion of overall Subbasin sustainability. Progress towards achieving interim milestones and measurable objectives will be included, along with an evaluation of groundwater quality and groundwater elevations (being used as direct or proxy measures for several sustainability indicators) in relation to minimum thresholds . . . describe the current status of project and management action implementation since the previous 5-year report; and WHEREAS, in Section 7.6 of the GSP it is clear that each 5-year report: will include a reconsideration of GSP Elements. As additional monitoring data are collected during GSP implementation, land uses and community characteristics change over time, and GSP projects and management actions are implemented, it may become necessary to revise the GSP. This section of the 5-year report will reconsider the basin setting, management areas (if applicable), undesirable results, minimum thresholds, and measurable objectives. If appropriate, the 5-year report will recommend revisions to the GSP. Revisions would be informed by the outcomes of the monitoring networks, and changes in the Subbasin, including but not limited to, changes to groundwater uses or supplies and R2022-173 Page 3 of 5 October 4,2022
