Welcome to the Paso Robles GCP

California's Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) requires the preparation and implementation of Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSP) for High and Medium priority groundwater basins. The Paso Robles Groundwater Subbasin is a critically overdrafted high priority basin. Therefore, areas within the Basin must be managed under a GSP by January 31, 2020.

The GSAs listed below joined together to form a Cooperative Committee with the purpose of leading development of one GSP for the portion of the Paso Robles Basin in San Luis Obispo County.

For more information, please visit the Groundwater Sustainability Agency websites at:

• County of San Luis Obispo
• Shandon-San Juan Water District
• Heritage Ranch CSD
• San Miguel CSD
• City of Paso Robles

The Cooperative Committee meets regularly to progress GSP activities. Cooperative Committee meetings are open to the public. Parties interested in the management of groundwater in the Paso Robles Basin are encouraged to attend.

The Groundwater Communication Portal (GCP) tracks Cooperative Committee meetings and other events related to SGMA implementation in the Paso Robles Basin.

The purpose of the GCP is to encourage active participation of groundwater users in GSP development for the Basin. Use the GCP to participate in the following ways:

• View the calendar to see planned events
• Register for an event to receive updates if the event details change
• Sign up as an Interested Party to be notified when a new event corresponding with your interests is scheduled

Additional features, such as a comments feature, are being developed for the GCP. Interested parties will be notified when new features are available.
