DWR Extends Best Management Practices Survey Deadline to August 8

The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has extended the availability of its Best Management Practices (BMP) Survey until August 8, 2016. The BMPs are intended to provide clarification, guidance and examples to help GSAs develop the essential elements of a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). If you are actively involved in putting together Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) and plans, you are encouraged to talk part in this survey.   

Access the survey by going to: http://water.ca.gov/groundwater/sgm/bmps.cfm

The survey requires respondents to identify their name and affiliation. Upon completion, respondents will receive a confirmation email with a copy of their submittal.

Also available online is the Best Management Practices (BMP) Development Framework (Framework) which outlines DWR’s approach and timeline for development of BMPs. The Framework describes how to engage in the development of BMPs and presents the schedule for developing the initial set of BMPs.
