Groundwater Management Plan
Groundwater Management Plan Sutter County is initiating work to prepare a Groundwater Management Plan (GMP) in accordance with the California Water Code, Article 17050. The overall goal of the GMP is to ensure that the quantity and quality of groundwater in the County is sustained. This will be accomplished through development and implementation of Basin Management Objectives (BMOs) that will be an integral element of the GMP.

In order to develop a successful GMP, the County will be educating stakeholders that represent water agencies, special interest groups and the general public on water resource related activities. Participation of the stakeholders will be essential in the development of the GMP.

Public Outreach
The County of Sutter will be conducting public outreach over the next several months in order to establish an open process to facilitate stakeholder input, collect data, form and advisory committee, identify groundwater issues and develop objectives. Interested parties will be contacted by the County's consultant and representatives from the County.

Basin Management Objectives
  • Monitoring and management of groundwater levels within the groundwater basin
  • Groundwater quality degradation
  • Inelastic land surface subsidence
  • Changes in surface flow and surface quality that directly affects groundwater levels or quality or are casued by groundwater pumping in the basin
