Background:
The City of Manteca (City) is a member of the Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater Authority (Authority) formed for the purpose of developing a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) and coordinating sustainable groundwater management in the Eastern San Joaquin Subbasin.
On December 3, 2019 the City adopted the Final 2020 GSP (2020 GSP) and the Authority submitted the 2020 GSP to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) on January 29, 2020 in compliance with SGMA.
On January 28, 2022, DWR identified deficiencies that needed to be corrected by July 27, 2022.
On July 19, 2022 the City adopted the 2022 Revised GSP (2022 GSP) and the Authority submitted to DWR on July 27, 2022.
On March 2, 2023, DWR approved the 2022 GSP and included a list of eight Recommended Corrective Actions that should be considered for the First Periodic Evaluation due on January 2025.
The City coordinated with the Authority to prepare a 2024 Amended GSP (2024 GSP) to address the Recommended Corrective Actions and prepare the First Periodic Evaluation to be submitted to DWR by January 29, 2025.
On July 24, 2024, the Authority published a Notice of Intent to adopt the 2024 GSP pursuant to California Water Code Section 10728.4.
From October 1 through October 31, 2024 a public review period was held to solicit comments on the 2024 GSP.
On December 11, 2024 the Authority will adopt the 2024 GSP and the First Periodic Evaluation. Following adoption by the Authority, each GSA must adopt both documents, via separate actions, prior to submittal to DWR no later than January 29, 2025.
