Basin Notes
2003: Bulletin 118 basin description
2014: CASGEM basin prioritization – medium. Note: Elevated sulfates, nitrates and TDS in the basin.
2018: Draft basin prioritization – very low. Note: 1) CASGEM/WDL/GWIDS: No data or data insufficent to determine GWL status. Source: DWR 2) GWMP says overdrafted in 1970s, mitigated for it and GWLs have been relatively stable since. Hydrographs show relatively stable hydrographs.
Basin boundary modification request.
2019: Basin boundary modification approved. Per DWR: It “follows geologic contacts on a qualified map. The modification increases the boundary’s accuracy by delineating the extent of alluvium on a more detailed scale than previously mapped, and it more accurately incorporates water- bearing formations into the Arroyo Santa Rosa Valley basin. The requesting agency supplies sufficient information to support the scientific rationale for the modification. The request meets regulatory requirements.” Draft priority: very low.
