Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) Requirements
- Describe the basin conditions, using a hydrogeologic conceptual model
- Describe the basin-specific monitoring network
- Establish numerical thresholds and measurable objectives to avoid
undesirable results:
- Identify projects and actions needed to achieve or maintain
sustainable conditions within 20 years
- Robust stakeholder outreach is required
…AND, must be completed by January 31, 2022
