The Yucaipa Sustainable Groundwater Management Agency (Yucaipa-SGMA) is hosting the 2nd public Community Engagement Meeting to discuss and receive comments on the Draft Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) for the Yucaipa Basin in accordance with the requirements of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). The Draft GSP will also be available for review and comment online at www.yucaipasgma.org in November, prior to the meeting. The GSP provides the basis for sustainably managing the groundwater resource in the Yucaipa Basin, with the goal of avoiding undesirable conditions that would adversely affect this resource in the future.
All stakeholders, including residents, property owners, community groups, non-profit organizations, agricultural industry organizations, industrial water users as well as all local agencies that are interested in the Yucaipa Basin GSP are encouraged to attend.
What is SGMA?
SGMA is a state law that passed in 2014 that affects the regulation and management of local groundwater resources. SGMA provides an opportunity for those in the community to discuss the future of local groundwater sustainability.
Why should I attend this meeting?
The GSP will affect groundwater users in the cities and unincorporated areas within the Yucaipa Basin area. Attending this meeting gives you the opportunity to
- Learn more about SGMA and the GSP developed in your area;
- Ensure your interests and concerns related to local groundwater management are represented; and
- Understand how decisions on local groundwater sustainability will be made.
