Receive recommendations from CGA/GGA Joint Domestic Well Mitigation Ad Hoc Committee and discuss to reach a consensus on next steps. 1. Recommendations on program administration. a. Recommendation 1: Continue development of a Domestic Well Mitigation (DWM) draft program administration and coordination structure through discussions with Colusa and Glenn County staff. (Final DWM program administration and coordination structure subject to mutual approval of the GSA Boards and Counties.) 2. Recommendations on eligible mitigation. a. Recommendation 1: Consistent with the April 2024 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), eligible wells should include domestic wells and shallow wells that supply drinking water users (e.g., public water systems and state small water systems). b. Recommendation 2: Consistent with the April 2024 MOU, eligible mitigation measures should include short-term mitigation (bottled water and/or water tanks) and long-term mitigation (rehabilitating or replacing existing wells, lowering or replacing pumps in existing wells, well consolidation, connection to public water systems or municipal water systems). c. Recommendation 3: The DWM program shall mitigate impacts related to GSA management of the Colusa Subbasin with respect to groundwater level decline and land subsidence. Such impacts will be determined through evaluation of the well conditions and surrounding groundwater and land subsidence conditions in reference to specific eligibility evaluation criteria established by the GSAs. d. Recommendation 4: Consistent with the April 2024 MOU, the DWM program shall mitigate once per eligible well, and such mitigation will be appropriate to and commensurate with well impacts resulting from GSA management of the Colusa Subbasin. e. Recommendation 5: The DWM program will not mitigate for wear- and-tear or other well impacts not related to GSA management of the Colusa Subbasin with respect to groundwater level decline and land subsidence. f. Recommendation 6: The DWM program will not provide non- mitigation oriented services (e.g., landscaping, hardscaping, ongoing maintenance, distribution infrastructure). g. Recommendation 7: The DWM program will consider whether well owners have refused other mitigation opportunities in the past (e.g., connection to the City of Orland) when determining well eligibility for the DWM program. h. Recommendation 8: Consistent with SGMA and the April 2024 MOU, the DWM program will specify that the GSAs are not responsible for injury from overdraft (i.e., the GSAs do not extract groundwater), and the GSAs do not assume any liability to provide, ensure, or guarantee any level of water quality or access. 5. Groundwater Demand Management Program Development (30 minutes) a. Receive recommendations from CGA/GGA Joint Demand Management Ad Hoc Committee and discuss to reach a consensus on next steps. 1.
