Box 58 _ ❑ All ❑ 009 to fileC� seen IC3' Bakersfield, CA 93302 Dear Mr. Beard, I am writing to notify you that I am interested in receiving information related to the development of a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) or any Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) in the area. The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 (SGMA) provides a framework for the sustainable management of groundwater supplies by local authorities. SGMA acknowledges the importance of ensuring that persons interested in GSA and GSP development are informed of the relevant processes. Specifically, SGMA requires that interested persons be notified of relevant notices, meetings, announcements, draft plans and other relevant documents and further requires that all such interested persons be placed on a list to receive such notifications upon their written request (Water Code § 10723.4). As trustee for the State's fish and wildlife resources, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (Department) has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and the habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of such species. The Department is also a landowner and uses groundwater on some of the properties it owns. I wish to be included on the list of interested stakeholders that will receive further information on ways to meaningfully participate in the processes related to GSA and GSP development. My preferred method of communication is email.
