NOTICE IS ADDITIONALLY HEREBY GIVEN that the State Water Board will hold a public Board Workshop to receive public comments on a draft Emergency Regulation for State Intervention Fees. Details of the State Water Board workshop are provided below. Tuesday, March 21, 2017—9:00 a.m. Joe Serna Jr.—CaIEPA Headquarters Building Coastal Hearing Room 1001 1 Street, Second Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 BACKGROUND In 2014, Governor Brown signed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act(SGMA), which creates a framework for sustainable, local groundwater management for the first time in California history. SGMA requires the formation of local groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) in California's high- or medium-priority groundwater basins. GSAs are required to develop groundwater sustainability plans that make basins sustainable within 20 years of plan implementation. If local agencies are unable or unwilling to sustainably manage their basin, the State Water Board is authorized to intervene. SGMA requires the State Water Board to adopt, by emergency regulation, a schedule of fees to cover the costs associated with state intervention (Water Code section 1529.5 and 1530). Throughout the latter half of 2016, the State Water Board held stakeholder outreach meetings and presented fee schedule proposals at local events to get a better understanding of stakeholder concerns and solicit feedback on how to best structure state intervention fees. The draft emergency regulation considers and incorporates input provided by local governments, water suppliers, businesses, individuals, and non-governmental organizations.
