Solano Collaborative Meeting Notes

Background

In 2016, a series of meetings were held to determine if a single GSA could be formed to comply with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) and implement a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). A “GSA Advisory Group” included representatives from interested GSA-eligible agencies as well representatives from the agricultural community, including the Solano County Farm Bureau, Solano County Agricultural Advisory Committee, the Dixon Resource Conservation District and the Solano Resource Conservation District. Ultimately, several GSAs were established and formed the Solano Subbasin GSA Collaborative.

What do GSAs do?

Coordination: GSAs collaborate with local and regional agencies within their basin and neighboring basins to ensure effective management of shared water resources.

Public Outreach & Stakeholder Engagement: GSAs involve interested stakeholders in the development and implementation of the GSP, fostering transparency and community involvement.

GSP Development: All medium- and high-priority basins are required to create and implement GSPs.

Monitoring & Reporting: Continuous monitoring of groundwater levels and water quality is essential to assess progress toward the sustainability objectives outlined in the GSP.

GSP Implementation: The Solano Subbasin GSP was approved by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) on January 18, 2024 as a roadmap for the Solano Subbasin to maintain long-term groundwater sustainability.

Enforcement: GSAs are responsible for enforcing GSP provisions and determining the specific authorities and tools required to help local groundwater users and stakeholders meet sustainability goals.
