2. H.R. Downs, O.W.L. Foundation, Penngrove, was recognized
and expressed his opposition to the WSA, urging the City

a restorative process. He discussed problems at the
Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA), and he indicated that

decreased pumping. He called attention to various
discrepancies of recharge rates in different years. He

only refers to whether or not SCWA gets more water or
not. He reiterated O.W.L.'s primary objective of getting

4. John King, 8617 Petaluma Hill Road, was recognized and
asked Council to defer any action on the WSA until the
U.S. Geological Survey's study is complete in a few
years and to stop development within the existing City
limits until said time. He discussed how he stood before
Council five years ago during the General Plan process
and how he conducted a survey at that time of the
problems people were having with pumping their wells.
He noted that the May 2000 EIR for the General Plan
showed conclusive signs of overdraft, and he discussed
passage of SB 610. He also commented on how the future
of everyone in the area will be affected by the City's
actions in this matter. He urged the City to put its
money into the U.S.G.S. study.
5. Steven Carle,.11001 Minnesota Avenue, Penngrove, was
recognized and SUBMITTED AND REVIEWED written technical
comments on the Draft WSA. He commented on the location
of Penngrove spanning over two hydrologically- connected
groundwater basins; groundwater management and local
governmental agencies' apparent disinterest in said
topic; WSA's claim of lack of recharge in the annexation
areas and how said claim is based on the WSA's
misinterpretation of one map based on highly simplified
soil types; overdraft and the WSA's lack of a detailed
groundwater budget; groundwater models and how the WSA
neglected to reference the City's quantitative
groundwater modeling study and its conclusions about
projected overdraft; and water level trends and the WSA's
limited analysis of wells in Rohnert Park, as well as
its failure to review documents from the Penngrove Water
Company, the 2004 Canon Manor EIR groundwater study and
the City of Santa Rosa's projections for groundwater
pumping. He summarized the WSA's mistakes in
methodology, analysis and interpretation; its reliance on
subjective approaches; and its lack of reference to previous
quantitative groundwater models and DWR (Department Water
Resources) studies. He noted that the WSA is too
optimistic and too focused on suiting the short -term
objectives of developers and the City of Rohnert Park.
