Bill Introduced to Incorporate Recharge Area Mapping into Groundwater Management Plans
Posted: 2/19/2011
Assembly Member Huffman, Chair of the Assembly Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee, has re-introduced his recharge area mapping bill from last year using the same language. This bill adds requirements to SB1938 compliant GMPs to map recharge areas in their basins, and to provide the recharge maps to local planning agencies. This bill is good policy, GRA co-sponsored the bill last year with CGC, and the bill was successfully passed through the Legislature and made it to the Governor's desk, who then subsequently vetoed it. The climate at the Capitol is different this year with a new governor and renewed energy, and GRA is optimistic that this bill will become law this time around.
