i03 Groundwater Sustainability Plan Areas

A single GSP, or multiple GSPs with a Coordination Agreement, must cover an entire basin or subbasin, and can only be submitted once adopted by the underlying GSA(s). GSPs are submitted in the format required by 23 CCR §353.2 and 23 CCR §353.4 of the GSP Regulations and includes the shapefiles associated with this dataset. The Department of Water Resources (DWR) must complete the acceptance review within 20-days following the submission of a GSP.

During the acceptance review, DWR verifies that the GSP submission demonstrates that the GSP was adopted, covers the entire basin or subbasin, and contains all required documents and data. If DWR accepts the submitted GSP, it is then posted to the SGMA Portal, and then a public comment period is opened.
