On September 16, 2014, Governor Brown signed into law a package of bills collectively called the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), which requires Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) in a subbasin to adopt and implement a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). GSAs must also submit annual reports to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) by April 1st each year. The Department, in cooperation with the GSAs in the three subbasins, prepared an annual report for each subbasin to meet the requirements of SGMA. These reports are submitted to the DWR SGMA Portal (https://sgma.water.ca.gov/portal/). This is the first Butte County Groundwater Status Report (Report) since adoption of the GSPs in the three subbasins in the County: Butte, Vina, and Wyandotte Creek Subbasins. The Report contains an overview of the hydrologic conditions of the 2021 water year and a high level description of conditions in each subbasin based on content in their individual annual reports. The subbasin specific annual reports are included as attachments to the Report and contain an executive summary, general information and a location map for the subbasin, groundwater level data shown as graphs and contour maps, estimated groundwater extractions, surface water supply, total water use in the subbasin, and an estimate of change in groundwater storage.
