No comments were made.
7. Staff Reports
Ms. Hunter reported groundwater level measurements are being taken this week
in the northern Sacramento Valley and Department of Water Resources (DWR) is
putting together a monthly monitoring grid to monitor drought conditions.
Ms. Hunter further reported new InSAR data is now available showing subsidence
conditions which can be viewed at DWRs California Groundwater Live webpage.
Ms. Hunter shared she has sent an email to DWR indicating interest in the
Technical Support Services program and requesting an application. The
application would request services to conduct a geophysical study to better
understand the sink hole areas forming near Stony Creek.
Ms. Hunter stated the Facilitation Support Services (FSS) has concluded. A new
FSS application can be submitted to request additional services and staff will
work with the Tehama County GSA to explore options.
Ms. Hunter reported on the status of the Proposition 1 GSP Development grant
and the consultant contract with Montgomery and Associates.
Mr. Carmon asked when the groundwater level measurements would be
available; whereby, Ms. Hunter responded the measurements are generally
available within a few weeks.
Steven Gruenwald asked if staff could elaborate on the sink holes that were
mentioned. Ms. Hunter responded that these are new developments that were
Corning Sub-2
Dpsojoh!Tvc.cbtjo!HTBQbhf!8
5024033!Nffujoh!Nbufsjbmt
reported to the Orland Unit Water Users Association manager, who then reached
out to staff. DWR and staff were invited to visit a site, and the study being
requested though the TSS program would be designed to better understand these
features and what might be causing them. Discussion ensued.
8. Discussion on Legal Counsel to represent the CSGSA as needed
Ms. Hunter introduced the item stating the CSGSA has previously relied on
member agency counsel as needed, but it may be helpful to identify counsel,
either a member agency counsel arrangement, or separate counsel to guide the
CSGSA efforts.
Mr. Carmon spoke in favor of using County Counsel; however, noting that some
items may require outside counsel. Ms. Violich and Holly Dawley spoke of the
arrangement utilized in Tehama County who contacts for services. Ms. Violich
asked who the Glenn Groundwater Authority (GGA) has retained for counsel. Mr.
Carmon responded that Valerie Kincaid provides services to the GGA and she has
recently been retained by Glenn County to provide guidance on water-related
issues.
Ms. Violich suggested a default of engaging Glenn County Counsel as primary
counsel and using special counsel as needed. Mr. Amaro agreed. Mr. Knight
asked about funding to cover the services; whereby, Ms. Hunter noted there will
be no grant funding available to cover these costs and funding would need to be
determined.
Direction was provided to staff to explore an arrangement with County Counsel
and bring the item back to a future CSGSA meeting addressing this potential
arrangement and costs (hourly rates). Discussion ensued.
9. Corning Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan
a. Receive update on Corning Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan Annual
Report and plan to fund the Annual Report
b. Discussion on Corning Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan implementation
and next steps
Ms. Hunter reported that the Consultant Team is working on the Corning
Subbasin Annual Report task and is on track to have it submitted to DWR by April
1, 2022, the statutory deadline.
Ms. Hunter further stated, the question remains on funding the Annual Report.
The grant will cover the majority of the cost; however, approximately $11,000 will
be the responsibility of the GSAs. Ms. Hunter asked if the member agencies
could discuss with their agency and confirm willingness for each to fund up to
$2,000 of this task. Discussion ensued with general agreement that the member
Corning Sub-3
Dpsojoh!Tvc.cbtjo!HTBQbhf!9
5024033!Nffujoh!Nbufsjbmt
agencies would split the cost of the CSGSA share of the Annual Report
Development. Members will confirm with their individual agencies.
Ms. Hunter introduced Item 9.b stating this item carries over from previous
discussions to give an opportunity for further discussion on transitioning from the
planning phase to implementation.
Ms. Hunter further stated the Groundwater Sustainability Plan is open for a 75-
day public comment period on the SGMA portal. The comments are available to
review in real-time and will be important to consider during implementation,
annual reports, and five-year updates.
Ms. Hunter encouraged member agencies to allocate funding to support the
CSGSA as they develop 2022/2023 agency budgets, as a funding mechanism is
not yet in place to support GSP implementation. Mr. Knight asked how much
should be allocated, whereby, Ms. Hunter suggested a future agenda item to
discuss the budget item in more detail and recommended reviewing the GSP
implementation chapter that includes draft budgets. Discussion ensued.
Del Reimers spoke regarding the fee mechanism being discussed in Tehama
County at $0.29 per acre and a lack of support when the item was discussed
publicly. He encouraged the CSGSA to include dry land property owners in the
discussions when considering fees. He spoke in favor of fees on irrigated
grounds.
10. Workshop: Funding Mechanisms
Ms. Hunter introduced the item noting that members requested an agenda item
to begin discussing potential mechanisms to fund GSP implementation.
Discussions were started in February 2022 and the meeting packet included
past presentations to the CSAB by the Consultant Team, letters provided by
interested stakeholders, and excerpts from the GSP Implementation Chapter.
Mr. Amaro spoke in favor of a well fee, considering the size of the well, and noted
the complication in gathering the data to support the fee. Another suggestion
mentioned was based on irrigated acres.
Ian Turnbull suggested tying general plan zoning designations to potential fees.
The zones and associated parcels are already defined. Discussion ensued
considering Williamson Act lands, planning and zoning, potential for development
and associated benefits, and land use mapping (Land IQ, Agricultural
Commissioner data). Considerations on irrigated or non-irrigated lands, user
groups, tiered mechanisms, different fee structures for different areas, and
volumetric charges were also discussed.
It was clarified that each GSA will develop its own funding mechanism and
discussions will need to take place on how the GSAs will split the shared costs. It
Corning Sub-4
Dpsojoh!Tvc.cbtjo!HTBQbhf!:
5024033!Nffujoh!Nbufsjbmt
was noted there are many questions remaining, including legal input on options.
It was decided to leave this item on future agendas to continue discussion and to
invite Land IQ to provide a presentation to the CSGSA.
11. *Consider providing comments to Glenn County on Draft Glenn County Water Well
Drilling Permits and Standards
Mr. Carmon stated the County if looking for comments
Water Well Drilling Permits and Standards. The GGA has a committee that is
providing comments. One item being considered is changing the spacing
requirement to be based on well casing size rather than extraction.
Brian Mori asked how stakeholders could be more involved and receive a copy of
the latest draft of the ordinance. He commented that the map that is mentioned
is not available, which makes it difficult to make comments. He also had questions
relating to the definition of solid casing and spoke to the importance of a data
driven approach. Mr. Carmon responded the draft ordinance \[the draft shown
during this meeting\] has been sent to the individuals on the drought taskforce list.
Specific comments and suggestions can be shared at the drought taskforce
meetings or emailed to drought@countyofglenn.net. The data to create the map is
being handled in house at this point, and Ms. Hunter shared some of the past work
through the Countys Water Advisory Committee Basin Management Objective
revision process that may inform the ordinance map that is being developed.
Discussion ensued.
12. Corning Subbasin Advisory Board Report
Mr. Gruenwald asked about GCID water supply for this year. Mr. Amaro mentioned
there are discussions happening this week to learn more about the supplies. Mr.
Knight noted, GCID does not plan to have a well program at this time.
Landowners may pump their own wells. Ms. Dawley noted they are in
unprecedented times and there is not physically enough water in the system to
provide for all beneficial uses. This is a Shasta Critical year and hopefully more
information will be available soon. The public is welcome to attend GCID Board
meetings. Discussion continued.
13. *Approve 2022 Corning Sub-basin GSA Committee meeting schedule
Due to lack of a quorum, no action was taken on Item 13.
14. Corning Sub-basin GSA Committee Member Reports and Comments
No further reports or comments were heard.

attached for consideration. The CSGSA may consider additional options. This item is
carried over from the December 8, 2021, January 12, 2022, February 9, 2022, and

8. Discussion on Legal Counsel to represent CSGSA as needed
As the GSA moves forward, it is important to consider formalizing an arrangement for
Legal Counsel to represent the CSGSA on an as-needed basis. At the March 9, 2022
meeting, there was general consensus to request Glenn County, County Counsel to
provide these services and consult with outside counsel as needed. Staff reached out
the County Counsel who indicated due to the expertise required in the topics the GSA
will likely face, County Counsel may not be the most appropriate choice, as the County
currently contracts with outside counsel to consult on water-related matters. Instead,
County Counsel suggested seeking the services of an experienced water attorney.
Additional updates may be provided, potential options will be explored, and direction
may be provided to staff.
9. Corning Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan
