Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Monterey County Water Resources Agency Basin Management Advisory Committee:
Receive a report on revision to the Well Permit Applications Update and provide guidance to Staff on recommended changes.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Agency staff provides a Well Permit Applications Update to the Board of Directors and the Basin Management Advisory Committee on a monthly basis. These updates originated as a report on Agency involvement in the well application process following adoption of the 2010 Monterey County General Plan.
In January 2020, the Basin Management Advisory Committee and the Board of Directors received a report on Revisions to the Well Permit Applications Update. These revisions expanded the update to include all categories of well permit applications reviewed by the Agency, and an expanded report on construction of wells in the Deep Aquifers.
Agency Staff are now proposing an additional revision to the Well Permit Applications Update. This will include a spatial representation of the permits received and would supplement the summary table (Table 1). The current update is included as Attachment 1. A version of the update including the proposed revision is included as Attachment 2.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
FINANCING:
There is no financial impact in receiving this report.
