GSP Development. The purpose of this Framework Agreement is to provide organizational and decision-making structure to support the GSAs working collaboratively to continue development of a GSP. The Working Group, with the support of Technical Consultant, will tackle the last two phases of the four-phase Plan development outlined in the subbasin’s Proposition 1 (AB-1471 Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014) application: Sustainability Planning and GSP Preparation and Submittal. It will also guide execution of the tasks included in the xxxxxxxx’s Proposition 68 (Sustainable Groundwater Management planning grant proposal), if successfully awarded. The Proposition1 grant and Proposition 68 proposal, if successful, serve to guide the subbasin’s groundwater planning efforts. Additionally, the Working Group commits to general management tasks, also outlined in the Proposition 1 grant Work Plan, including actions such as (1) grant management and administration, (2) project management, and (3) quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC). Any changes to the subbasin’s Work Plan included in the Proposition 1 grant scope of work or Proposition 68 proposal are subject to the approval of the Working Group. The parties have agreed to work together as a collaborative planning body on this GSP development for their mutual benefit. The Working Group is neither a Joint Powers Authority nor a governmental entity; rather, it is a collaborative planning effort guided by the parties for their mutual benefit. Any implementation actions to be taken as a result of this planning effort are expected to be taken by the individual parties and approved by the respective governing bodies. Nothing in this agreement precludes an individual GSA from pursuing its own individual studies at its own cost. The Working Group, with the advice of the technical consultant and based on additional presentations by the sponsoring GSA, will jointly determine the extent to which such individual studies are to be used to inform the GSP. Nothing in the agreement precludes an individual GSA from preparing its own GSP. If a GSA chooses to produce a separate GSP, a Coordination Agreement, per SGMA statute and DWR regulations, shall be developed between the preparers of the well-coordinated GSPs and the Working Group. Incremental costs associated with developing a separate, well-coordinated GSP would be paid for separately by the GSA(s) proposing such effort.
GSP Development. Development of the GSP is beyond the scope of this current Framework Agreement. It is expected that the GSAs will develop a subsequent agreement within the next 6-12 months that will cover the terms of GSP production.
GSP Development. Prepare a GSP that will meet SGMA regulations and DWR requirements and builds off the information obtained from the activities outlined in the Grant Agreement and upon previously completed studies and reports. Include summaries of activities associated with the GSP development within the Progress Reports. • Summaries of activities included in the Progress Report(s) • Final GSP • Proof of Final GSP submittal to DWR EXHIBIT B BUDGET Project Title: Groundwater Monitoring Well Installation and GSP Development for the Chowchilla Subbasin COMPONENT Grant Amount Required Cost Share (non-state source)* Other Cost Share Total Cost 1 Grant Administration $144,965 $0 $0 $144,965 2 Monitoring Well Installation $940,000 $0 $0 $940,000 3 GSP Planning and Development $1,415,035 $0 $0 $1,415,035 (a) Grant Administration $144,965 $0 $0 $144,965
GSP Development. Prepare a GSP for the Basin that meets the SGMA regulations and DWR requirements and is based upon the outcome of work summarized below. Submit the adopted GSP via the SGMA GSP Submittal Portal and submit the email response to DWR’s Project Manager as proof of submittal.
GSP Development. A majority of funds will be dedicated to GSP development for the Eastside, Forebay, Xxxxxxx, and Upper Valley Subbasins. M&A will bring together the input from stakeholder engagement and technical elements to develop these GSPs. GSPs will include a description of the GSP Area, hydrogeologic conceptual model used for GSP development, and current conditions in each of the subbasins. They will also develop historical, current, and future water budgets, taking into consideration projected climate change impacts. GSPs will include an analysis of monitoring networks and data gaps, as well as agreed-upon Sustainable Management Criteria (SMC). Significant attention will be focused on how to meet the SMC, which will be included through projects, management actions, and the water charges framework, as well as plan implementation. Finally, GSP development includes funds for editing and revising GSPs according to public comments, SVBGSA Board of Director and Advisory Committee hearings, and GSP submission. Also under GSP development, M&A will apply the SVIHM Model to the 180/400-Foot Aquifer Subbasin and incorporate results into an update of the 180/400-Foot Aquifer Subbasin GSP. The USGS anticipates releasing the model in spring 2020. To ensure consistency with the other subbasin GSPs, M&A will update the 180/400-Foot Aquifer Subbasin GSP using the SVIHM Model. Additionally, M&A will draft the Integrated Sustainability Plan encompassing all subbasins under the jurisdiction of the SVBGSA.
GSP Development. Prepare a GSP for the XYZ Subbasin. The Work Plan considers GSP regulations and requirements, incorporates appropriate BMPs as developed by DWR, where applicable, and develops a more complete understanding of the groundwater basin, including interactions with surface water and adjacent subbasins, to support sustainable groundwater management. Prepare a GSP that meets SGMA requirements and the DWR regulations and is based upon work and findings as described below.
GSP Development. Prepare a GSP that will meet SGMA regulations and DWR requirements and builds off the information obtained from the activities outlined in the Grant Agreement and upon previously completed studies and reports. Include summaries of activities associated with the GSP development within the Progress Reports. • Summaries of activities included in the Progress Report(s) • Final GSP • Proof of Final GSP submittal to DWR Create a Domestic Well Inventory. Confirm the existence of xxxxx through stakeholder engagement. Map identified residential xxxxx in relation to GSP modeling results to identify potential “hot-spot” areas. Develop a well inventory spreadsheet and incorporate any water quality data discovered. Identify locations for additional groundwater monitoring xxxxx to be included in the monitoring network.
