The California Department of Water Resources (Department) issued an incomplete determination for the San Joaquin Valley -- Kern County Subbasin's Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) and coordination agreement, collectively referred to as 'the Plan'. The Department found the Plan incomplete due to deficiencies, primarily concerning inconsistent definitions of undesirable results, non-compliant minimum thresholds for chronic lowering of groundwater levels, and inadequate land subsidence sustainable management criteria. The document outlines specific corrective actions and requires the Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) to resubmit a revised Plan by July 27, 2022, to address these issues and work towards achieving sustainable groundwater management over a 20-year implementation period.
