Cooperative Agreement for Implementation of Santa Rosa Plain Groundwater Management Program 8
Exhibit A
Program Description
Program Background
The Santa Rosa Plain Watershed (Plan Area) covers an area of approximately 167,000 acres and is home to
approximately half of the population of Sonoma County. The groundwater system beneath the Santa Rosa
Plain provides numerous benefits to the region, including rural residential and municipal water supplies,
irrigation waterfor agriculture, and baseflow to streams and surface water bodies.
An integrated strategy being undertaken statewide by many local agencies is to develop and implement
non - regulatory, voluntary groundwater management plans in compliance with 1992's Assembly Bill 3030
(AB3030) and 2002's Senate Bill 1938. Such plans include public involvement, groundwater level and quality
monitoring, and management strategies. Such a plan has been successfully developed and implemented in
Sonoma Valley. Development of such a plan for the Santa Rosa Plain is one of the immediate actions
identified in the Water Agency's Water Supply Strategy No. Five (Work with Stakeholders to Promote Sound,
Information -Based Water Supply Planning Programs) of the Water Supply Strategies Action Plan.
Potential benefits to developing and implementing a groundwater management plan include increased
water supply reliability, minimized adverse impacts to groundwater, enhanced local management of
groundwater resources, and economic opportunities through available state grant funding programs.
To assess whether stakeholders within the Santa Rosa Plain were interested in pursuing groundwater
management planning, the Water Agency retained the Center for Collaborative Policy (CCP) to conduct a
stakeholder assessment of groundwater users and those interested in groundwater in 2009. Based on the
findings of the assessment, CCP concluded that collaborative groundwater planning for the Basin would
require significant pre - planning steps to lay the foundation for a phased groundwater management planning
process. These steps included convening a small, representative steering committee to guide pre - planning
work and initiating a robust education effort and outreach campaign on the USGS technical study and the
groundwater management planning process.
In April 2010, consistent with CCP's recommendations, the Water Agency convened a Steering Committee
comprised of representatives from a diverse range of stakeholder constituency groups, including business,
environmental, and community organizations; government; municipal water supply; agriculture; and rural
residential well owners. Based on understanding and input gained through these outreach activities, in
January 2011 the Steering Committee recommended that stakeholders collaboratively develop a non -
regulatory, voluntary groundwater management plan for the Basin under A133030.
As part of initiating a groundwater management planning process in the Plan Area, a Basin Advisory Panel
(Panel) was formed in December 2011 to lead development of the groundwater management plan for the
Santa Rosa Plain. The Panel includes 28 stakeholders from throughout the Santa Rosa Plain representing
agricultural interests, local citizen groups, environmental groups, business interests, local well owners
and government interests. The Panel selected the Water Agency as the lead agency for the Santa Rosa
Plain Groundwater Management Plan. The Panel formed a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to
provide expert advice on scientific and technical matters related to Plan development and program
implementation. The TAC includes experts from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, including geology,
hydrology, engineering and ecology.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) completed a study of the Santa Rosa Plain groundwater
basin in 2014 in collaboration with the Water Agency, the cities of Cotati, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa and
Sebastopol, the town of Windsor, the County of Sonoma, and the California- American Water Company.
As part of this study, the USGS developed an innovative computer model that fully integrates surface
water and groundwater to better understand and manage the Plan Area's water resources. The study
Cooperative Agreement for Implementation of Santa Rosa Plain Groundwater Management Program A -1
shows that increased groundwater pumping has caused an imbalance of groundwater inflow and
outflow. This imbalance could affect groundwater levels in wells and reduce flows in creeks and
streams, leading to a potential for decline in habitat and ecosystems. These findings demonstrate the
need for careful monitoring and management of groundwater and surface water in the Plan area to
provide a sustainable supply of water for groundwater users and the environment.
The Panel developed the Santa Rosa Plain Groundwater Management (Plan) through monthly meetings
and sub - committee discussions of topics including groundwater management goals and objectives, a
monitoring framework, and groundwater management implementation actions. The Panel also
developed a Charter outlining Panel member roles, responsibilities' and functions, and a Governance
Proposal that describes the governance structure for Plan implementation. The Panel formed a TAC to
review and present plan elements to the Panel for discussion and approval during the monthly
meetings.
During Plan preparation, the stakeholders discussed the uncertainties and data gaps related to the
current knowledge of groundwater conditions in the Santa Rosa Plain Watershed area. The Plan
identifies those uncertainties and prioritizes the efforts that will be required to develop needed
information. Stakeholders also recognize that funding sources must be identified for supporting studies
and monitoring programs that will enhance the understanding of groundwater conditions in the Santa
Rosa Plain Watershed area. The Plan recommends a range of voluntary water management actions to
achieve the stated goal, which are grouped into seven major components: (1) Stakeholder Involvement
and Public Awareness; (2) Monitoring and Modeling Program; (3) Groundwater Protection; (4) Increase
Water Conservation and Efficiency; (5) Increase Groundwater Recharge; (6) Increase Water Reuse; and
(7) Integrated Groundwater Management.
Program Implementation
Implementation of the Santa Rosa Plain Groundwater Management (Program) is structured to
encourage an open, collaborative and cooperative process for groundwater management activities, and
to maximize coordination of the many future actions envisioned by the Panel. Studies, projects, and
programs conducted under the Plan may be implemented by one or more lead agencies (the Water
Agency or other agencies), following input or guidance from the Panel and a supporting TAC.
The first two years of Program implementation funded under this Agreement focus on core
implementation components, including stakeholder involvement and monitoring, which under the
Water Code define the Plan's eligibility for state funding for groundwater projects. Specific tasks to be
conducted under the Agreement include:
• Preparation of outreach materials for initial plan implementation.
• Organization, preparation of materials and work products for 8 Panel meetings and 12 TAC
meetings.
• Initial development of existing data compilation framework and monitoring and reporting
protocols.
• Organization of voluntary groundwater level monitoring program and evaluation of
groundwater level data.
• Development of groundwater quality data compilation and reporting framework.
• Coordination of data management and preparation of annual reports.
• Develop and run management scenarios, in consultation with the Panel, using the computer
model (GSFLOW) developed for the Plan area by the United States Geological Survey.
During Program implementation, the Water Agency and the Panel will continue to prioritize and develop
other Plan components, and seek funding and leveraging opportunities for implementing recommended
actions, outreach, coordination, and partnerships. The Program also serves to coordinate all sorts of
Cooperative Agreement for Implementation of Santa Rosa Plain Groundwater Management Program A -2
projects, actions and activities conducted by local agencies, non - governmental organizations (NGOs),
and private parties as appropriate, to assist in collaborations and leveraging of limited resources.
The Water Agency and Participants have negotiated a projected cost sharing for implementing the Santa Rosa
Plain Groundwater Management Program (Program) for two years. The total cost for implementing the study
for the first two years is estimated to be approximately $600,000 which covers technical consultants ($215,000),
facilitation services ($115,000) and Water Agency staff costs ($270,000) for the core actions associated with
implementing the Plan, including stakeholder involvement, monitoring and scenario modeling. The cost sharing
associated with this Agreement is for $330,000 over the two years and does not include Water Agency staff
costs.
