DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL RECIRCULATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (SREIR)
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY FOR PUBLIC REVIEW
This is to advise that the Kern. County Planning and Natural Resources Department has prepared a Draft
Supplemental Recirculated Environmental Impact Report (SREIR) (SCH 2013081079) for Revisions to the
Kern County Zoning Ordinance — 2020 (A), Focused on Oil and Gas Local Permitting.
As mandated by State law, the public review period for this document is 45 days.
CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5 (f) (1) provides that when an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is
recirculated, Kern County, as Lead Agency, may require that reviewers submit new continents on the
SREIR, and the lead agency need not to respond to those comments received in the earlier circulation
period. Kern County will therefore respond in the Final Supplemental Recirculated EIR to new comments
during this comment period and through the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors bearings. The
document and documents referenced in the Draft SREIR are available for review at the Planning and Natural
Resources Department, 2700 "M" Street, Suite 100, Bakersfield, CA 93301 by appointment or on the
Department website (https://kemplanning.com/SREIR2020-oil-gas-zoning-revisions/).
The Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department will host a virtual public briefing workshop
to provide an overview of the document on: August 17, 2020 at 1:30 pm., via Microsoft Live Events.
Instructions for participating in the virtual public workshop will be available on the Kern County Planning
and Natural Resources website (www.kernplanning com) on August 13, 2020.
A public hearing has been scheduled with the Kern County Planning Commission to receive comments and
consider the project for recommendation for approval, conditional approval or denial to the Kern County
Board of Supervisors on: November 12, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. or soon thereafter, Chambers of the Board of
Supervisors, First Floor, Kern County Administrative Center, 1115 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield,
California. A notice, as required by law will be sent in advance of the hearing.
The comment period for this document closes on September 16, 2020.
Project Title: Draft Supplemental Recirculated Environmental Impact Report for Revisions to the
Kern County Zoning Ordinance — 2020 (A), Focused on Oil and Gas Local Permitting
Project Location: The Project Boundary (Local Permitting Boundary Area) encompasses 3,700 square
miles and generally includes the San Joaquin Valley Floor portion of Kern County up to an elevation of
2,000 feet. The boundary includes: west side -the San Luis Obispo County line, north side- the Kings and
Tulare county lines, east and south sides -the 2,000 -foot elevation contours, squared off to the nearest section
line.
Project Description: The purpose of this Supplemental Recirculated Environmental Impact Report is to
provide compliance with CEQA for the reconsideration by the Planning Commission and Board of
Supervisors of the Zoning Ordinance revisions focused on Oil and Gas Local Permitting.
The proposed Project is a reconsideration of revisions to various Chapters of Title 19 Kern County Zoning
Ordinance to implement a new permit process for oil and gas activities. The revisions include new site
development standards and review processes for all oil and gas exploration, extraction, operations, and
production activities in unincorporated Kern County by:
(a) Removing the "Unrestricted Drilling" Section in Chapter 19.98 and updated "Drilling by Ministerial
Permit" and "Drilling by Conditional Use Permit" Sections;
(b) Establishing "Tier Area" neaps to address different land uses and zone districts where oil and gas
activities occur and are proposed to occur in the future;
(c) Establishing an Oil and Gas Conformity Review and Minor Activity Review, as part of the "Drilling
by Ministerial Permit" Section in Chapter 19.98, to ensure compliance with all applicable Development
and Implementation Standards and Conditions;
(d) Establishing Development and Implementation Standards and Conditions Section in Chapter 19.98;
(e) Establishing requirements for site plan sign -off by owners of the surface and minerals for split estate
ownership;
(f) Revising additional Chapters of the Zoning Ordinance to ensure consistency with the new requirements
of this SREIR. These Chapters include: 19.08 — Interpretations and General Standards, 19.48 — Drilling
Island (DI) District, 19.50 — Floodplain Primary District,19.66 — Petroleum Extraction (PE) Combining
District, 19.81 - Outdoor Lighting (Dark Skies Ordinance), 19.88 — Hillside Development, 19.102 —
Permit Procedures, and 19.108 — Nonconforming Uses, Structures, and Lots.
Proposed 2020 revisions to Title 19 — Kelm County Zoning Ordinance are the sante as the ordinance adopted
by the Board of Supervisors in November 09, 2015 and implemented until March 25, 2020 with the
exception of the following changes:
Update ofnames of County departments and State agencies that have changed since 2015, reference
to this SREIR, and implementation details.
• C I arification of process for monitoring Split Estate 120 day process.
Adjustment of Tier Maps for technical geographic information system (GIS) errors identified from
2015 adoption.

The County prepared and circulated a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) and Final Environmental
Impact Report (FEIR) for amendments to Title 19 of the Kern County Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance),
Chapter 19,98 (Oil and Gas Production) and related sections of the Ordinance in 2015. The Kern County
Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the Ordinance amendments and certified the FEIR on
November 9, 2015 (2015 FEIR). Several parties filed lawsuits challenging the adequacy of the certified
2015 FEIR, and the cases were consolidated in the Kern County Superior Court. On April 20, 2018, the
Court issued a judgment upholding 2015 FEIR, except for two issues. The judgment did not vacate any
portion of the Ordinance or 2015 FEIR. The County subsequently prepared and circulated a Draft
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (2018 SEIR) in response to the judgment. The SEIR was
certified by the County Board of Supervisors on December 11, 2018, and was not legally challenged.
Several parties appealed the Superior Court judgment. In October 2019, the Appellate Court rejected
constitutional claims against the Ordinance amendments. On February 25, 2020, the Appellate Court issued
an opinion thatupheld the Superior Court judgment and the adequacy of the certified 2015 FEIR except for
"five areas in which the EIR did not comply with CEQA: (1) mitigation of water supply impacts; (2) impacts
from PM2.5 emissions; (3) mitigation of conversion of agricultural land; (4) noise impacts; and (5)
recirculation of the Multi -Well Health Risk Assessment (MWHRA) for public review and comment." The
opinion set aside the previously approved Ordinance amendments and the certification of the 2015 FEIR.
The opinion further directed the County, "in the event it decides to present the Ordinance (in its present or
a modified foam) to the Board for approval, to correct the CEQA violations identified in this opinion," to
prepare "a revised EIR correcting the CEQA violations," and to prepare and publish "responses to the
comments received before certifying the revised EIR and reapproving the Ordinance." The County Board
of Supervisors rescinded the approved Ordinance amendments and decertified the 2015 FEIR on May 19,
2020 (Resolution 2020-116). The purpose of this Supplemental Recirculated Environmental impact Report
is to provide compliance for CEQA.
Anticipated Significant Impacts on Environment: Aesthetics, Agricultural Resources, Air Quality;
Biological Resources; Cultural Resources, Greenhouse Gas, Energy, Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise,
and Utilities and Service Systems.

^, U' r, PROPOSAI
To: Kern River Groundwater Sustainability Agency (KRGSA)
From: Phyllis Stanin, Vice President/Principal Geologist
Re: Proposal for Professional Services
Technical Support for Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP)
Implementation
As the KRGSA moves forward with implementation of its Groundwater Sustainability Plan
(GSP), several key actions have been completed. The KRGSA participated in the preparation
of the Kern County Subbasin First GSP Annual Report, which was prepared by Todd
Groundwater in coordination with all GSAs in the Subbasin. The Annual Report was
submitted to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) on April 1, 2020 in compliance
with GSP regulations; contents of the final Annual Report were presented to the KRGSA
Board at their public online Board meeting in June.
The KRGSA has also been implementing its KRGSA GSP monitoring efforts. Recently, Todd
Groundwater worked with each KRGSA manager to develop initial protocols and procedures
for implementation of the GSP monitoring network. The KRGSA's first semiannual water
level monitoring data were recently compiled and submitted to DWR for uploading onto the
online GSP portal.
KRGSA managers had planned a coordinated approach to GSP implementation through a
series of Managers Meetings, which were scoped to discuss required activities along with
roles and responsibilities. The first meeting was originally scheduled in February 2020 but
had to be indefinitely postponed due to the State Orders restricting non-essential business
gatherings in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the interim, Todd Groundwater has been asked to identify technical activities that are
required for GSP implementation in the remainder of 2020 - 2021 and to provide a proposal
to the KRGSA for accomplishing these tasks.
Key implementation activities targeted for the remainder of 2020 and early 2021 are
summarized below and discussed in more detail in the following scope of services:
Prepare data sets and analyses for the 2021 Second GSP Annual Report for the
KRGSA Plan Area.
• Coordinate and manage GSP monitoring activities.
2490 Mariner Square Loop, Suite 215 1 Alameda, CA 94501 1 510 747 6920 1 toddgroundwater.com
o Review ongoing monitoring for compliance with the GSP.
o Identify wells that can no longer be monitored and recommend
replacement wells, make subsequent modifications to the GSP network on
the SGMA online portal (referred to as the Monitoring Network Module
(MNM)).
o Develop a KRGSA water level database.
o Compile and analyze water quality data from ongoing monitoring programs
and develop procedures for future water quality analyses.
o Review and analyze data from the Regional Water Quality Control Board
clean-up sites in the Urban MA to protect against migration of contaminant
plumes from industrial sites to water supply wells as required by the GSP
regulations.
o Compile and analyze InSAR and GPS data on land subsidence as required in
the GSP.
• Provide "as needed" technical consultation and analysis.
a Review and respond to technical comments submitted on the GSP.
These technical services guide the GSP through the first full implementation period for GSP
monitoring, data development, and reporting through submittal of the Subbasin Second GSP
Annual Report on April 1, 2021. Additional tasks and associated costs for the remainder of
2021 will be easier to develop at that time, especially if DWR feedback on the GSPs are
made available. DWR has already provided some comments on the details of the GSP
monitoring program but has not yet commented on its adequacy.
In addition to these activities, KRGSA managers are encouraged to review GSP Section 7 -
Projects and Management Actions and Section 8 -Implementation Schedule to check that
progress is being made at all levels of the GSP. If Todd Groundwater can assist with activities
related to these actions, we would be happy to augment this proposal to do so.
A scope of services has been organized into tasks and subtasks following the bullet outline
presented above. An estimated cost associated with each task is included in the proposed
budget section that follows the scope of services. The overall project schedule considers
deadlines for reporting of monitoring data and submittal of the Second GSP Annual Report
by April 1, 2021.
The Subbasin Second GSP Annual Report covers the reporting period of Water Year (WY)
2020, from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020. Although the report is not due
until 2021, it relies on data and information currently being collected including GSP
monitoring data. The First GSP Annual Report was compiled quickly to meet the expedited
PROPOSAL -Technical
Support for GSP DRAFT
Implementation 2 TODD GROUNDWATER
deadline, which occurred only two months after the final GSP was submitted to DWR. For
this Second GSP Annual Report, we have additional time to compile and analyze the
information to comply with reporting requirements.
For the Second GSP Annual Report, it is assumed that the Kern Groundwater Authority
(KGA) will take responsibility for compilation and analysis of local GSA data (including the
KRGSA) into one comprehensive Annual Report for the Kern County Subbasin as was done
for the First GSP Annual Report. As occurred during that project, all GSAs will likely be asked
to share costs associated with the basin -wide effort. Those costs are not included in this task
and budget, which is for the KRGSA only.
In addition, GSAs including the KRGSA, will be asked to provide data sets for Subbasin-wide
analyses such as the update and application of the Subbasin integrated surface water -
groundwater model (C2VSimFG-Kern). As in the First GSP Annual Report, it is assumed that
C2VSimFG-Kern will be used to develop Subbasin-wide extraction maps and changes in
groundwater in storage. It is further assumed that the Subbasin will also provide the METRIC
data needed for agricultural demand analysis in the model.
This task involves developing KRGSA data sets and analyses needed by the KGA for model
updates and other requirements for the Subbasin GSP Annual Report. Activities included in
this task are as follows:
• Compile GSP water level monitoring measurements from the 39 KRGSA monitoring
wells (monthly or semiannual records, depending on the well).
• Generate 39 hydrographs and analyze compliance with sustainable management
criteria (including minimum thresholds and measurable objectives).
• Collect and analyze data from the Kern River Hydrographic Reports, coordinating
with the City of Bakersfield, who develops and manages these data sets.
• Collect and prepare KRGSA water data sets (e.g., banking, managed recharge,
District pumping, urban pumping, etc.) for incorporation into the C2VSimFG-Kern
model and for use in a KRGSA water budget update. (As indicated above, costs for
model updates and simulations are not included in this proposal and are assumed to
be shared among all Subbasin GSAs as part of the KGA Annual Report process).
• Describe the progress by the KRGSA on GSP Projects and Management Actions and
document their effectiveness for sustainable groundwater management.
• Develop local KRGSA checkbook water budgets for local analysis of GSP progress in
the KRGSA.
Costs for this task are based on those expended on similar tasks for the First GSP Annual
Report. Although additional work will be required for the Second Annual Report because of
the additional data being compiled, the process may be more efficient because we know
what data sets may be available and when. We will develop data request sheets early in the
PROPOSAL -Technical
Support for GSP DRAFT
Implementation 3 TODD GROUNDWATER
process and begin compilation of final data sets as soon as the GSP Annual reporting period
has been completed (September 30, 2020) or as soon as data sets are available'.
While Task 1 represents continuation of the Subbasin annual reporting effort, this task
focuses on KRGSA GSP monitoring and analyses as described in GSP Section 6.2 -Monitoring
Networks. This task considers the GSP monitoring requirements and available monitoring
data, presents how best to analyze it for the KRGSA and conducts needed analyses. As
described in the KRGSA GSP (Section 6.2), the GSP monitoring network consists of both
direct KRGSA water level measurements and indirect data collection by others for separate
monitoring programs in the Subbasin (including water levels, water quality, and land
subsidence data). Accordingly, this task includes communication with KRGSA managers to
confirm that active monitoring is occurring, including collection of data by others for
incorporation into the overall program. This task considers both established monitoring
requirements in the GSP (Section 6) and improvements to the monitoring network as
outlined in the Management Actions (see Section 7.2.8 in the GSP).
Conduct Water Level Monitoring Activities
Over the last two months, Todd Groundwater has communicated and coordinated
separately with each of the KRGSA managers, working to distribute responsibility for water
level monitoring of the 39 GSP wells among the City of Bakersfield, Kern Delta Water District
(KDWD), and Improvement District 4 (ID4) (see Figure 6-1 of the GSP for well locations). In
addition, Todd Groundwater has coordinated with the KRGSA managers to obtain
monitoring data being measured by others.
Specifically, wells in the KRGSA GSP monitoring network are monitored by Kern County
Water Agency (KCWA), which is being funded by ID4 in addition to the ID4-specific water
level monitoring program. Water level data from Greenfield County Water District GSA is
being compiled and managed by KDWD. Water level data from California Water Service (Cal
Water) and East Niles Community Services District (ENCSD) are being compiled and
managed by the City of Bakersfield. Todd Groundwater has also been working with each of
the KRGSA managers to support data collection with the frequency required by the GSP (at
least semi-annually or monthly, depending on the KRGSA well).
After GSP monitoring began in 2020, four wells were determined to be inaccessible,
requiring ongoing modification of the monitoring network. For example, one GSP well in the
Agricultural MA is no longer accessible due to well problems. Three wells in the Urban MA
that were previously monitored by KCWA and DWR have now been dropped from these
programs. These types of issues were anticipated in the GSP and are consistent with the
Management Action of improving the GSP monitoring network within the first five years of
implementation (Section 7.2.8).
' We recognize that multiple data sets being developed for the Kern River Hydrographic Report will
not be available until first quarter 2021, close to the April submittal date.
PROPOSAL -Technical
Support for GSP DRAFT
Implementation 4 TODD GROUNDWATER
This task includes Todd Groundwater working with KRGSA managers to identify replacement
wells and developing well data to incorporate them into the official SGMA' monitoring
network for the KRGSA GSP. Deletion and replacement of both well and water level data will
be recorded on the Monitoring Network Module (MNM) as part of the SGMA online portal.
In addition, new sustainable management criteria including minimum thresholds (MTs) and
measurable objectives (MOs) will need to be developed for each replacement well based on
the historical water levels of the replacement wells (or nearby wells).
This task also includes preparation of a brief Technical Memorandum (TM) to document the
following with respect to the GSP water level monitoring network:
• Roles and responsibilities associated with each KRGSA manager regarding ongoing
GSP water level monitoring and reporting.
• Changes to the GSP monitoring network with regard to wells added or deleted and
documentation of changes to the network on the SGMA portal MNM.
• Compliance with selected MTs and MOs for the KRGSA water level network.
• Recommendations on future improvements to the GSP water level monitoring
program.
Conduct Water Quality Monitoring Activities
During the GSP analyses, arsenic was identified as the KRGSA primary water quality
constituent of concern. Concentrations of arsenic, as a naturally -occurring contaminant,
appears elevated in deeper KRGSA groundwater and increases with declining water levels in
wells primarily in the Urban MA. As such, water levels are used as a proxy for water quality
monitoring for arsenic in the KRGSA.
As a cost saving measure and to avoid duplication of sampling by others, the KRGSA is not
required to sample KRGSA monitoring wells directly for other water quality constituents of
concern. Rather, the KRGSA is required to compile water quality data from municipal
monitoring networks and small community water systems - as publicly available - and to
document the data for continued water quality monitoring. Data available through the
Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program (ILRP) will also be compiled.
In addition to these two ongoing water quality monitoring programs, focused analysis is
needed for data from sites regulated by Central Valley Water Board cleanup programs
(identified in Table 3-4 of the GSP). As required in the GSP, data from these sites will be
reviewed to identify any groundwater contamination plumes that may require consideration
to protect municipal wells and to avoid the spreading of plumes through groundwater
pumping. This analysis will identify the key sites, monitoring wells, and primary constituents
for consideration in wellfield operations or future data compilation.

Code, beginning with Section 10720).

This task will, for the first time, provide specificity as to the types, locations, and quantity of
water quality data to be compiled going forward and will define future actions needed for
GSP water quality monitoring compliance.
This task also includes preparation of a brief TM to document the following with respect to
the GSP water quality monitoring program:
0 Summary of arsenic analyses in the Urban MA since the GSP was adopted.
• Summary of water quality data collected by others and incorporated into the water
quality monitoring program.
Description of contaminant plumes, if any, having the potential to impact drinking
water wells, and the potential for pumping to spread the plumes.
Documentation of the data and sources to be used in future analyses including the
key water quality constituents as mapped in the KRGSA.
• Recommendations on water quality analyses for the future.
Conduct Land Subsidence MonitoringActivities
The GSP monitoring program for land subsidence (Section 6.2.6 in the GSP) incorporates a
multi -faceted monitoring approach consisting of direct water level monitoring and
compilation of data from others. Additional monitoring sites include GPS Stations in the
KRGSA monitored by the Scripps Orbit and Permanent Array Center (SOPAC) and InSAR data
published online by DWR. In addition, the KRGSA is participating in a Subbasin-wide
investigation to avoid potential undesirable results from future inelastic land subsidence
near critical Subbasin infrastructure such as the California Aqueduct.
For this task, Todd Groundwater will compile and review data from the GPS and InSAR
monitoring networks for incorporation into the GSP monitoring network. We will document
these data in a brief TM with respect to the GSP inelastic land subsidence monitoring
program:
Estimated changes in land subsidence as indicated by the GPS stations (locations
are on Figure 6-4 in the GSP).
Estimated changes in land subsidence from the InSAR monitoring networks with a
focus on the square miles identified for monitoring in the GSP (see Figure 6-4 in the
GSP).
• Comparisons with historical land subsidence data and discussion of local
inconsistencies, if any.
Impacts of these changes on the KRGSA including the potential for undesirable
results.

Recommendations on improvements to the GSP water level monitoring program, if
any.
Prepare Monitoring Activities TIM
The three draft TMs mentioned above will be compiled into a combined TM relating to the
GSP monitoring program for WY 2020 and describing GSP monitoring activities from
October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020 to conform to the reporting period associated
with the GSP Annual Report. This TM can be maintained in KRGSA files to document
performance of GSP-required tasks and allow KRGSA managers to consider additional
modifications to future GSP monitoring networks, as needed.
Although communications associated with these subtasks are assumed to occur primarily via
conference calls, emails, and/or scheduled webinars, it is our understanding that the KRGSA
would ultimately like to hold two in-person monitoring workshops in Bakersfield involving
technical consultants. At this time, our current budget (separate from tasks in this proposal)
has sufficient funds for travel to these two workshops. Accordingly, no additional costs for
travel are included in the proposed budget associated with these tasks.
From time to time, issues associated with the KRGSA GSP have been identified that require
technical consultation and analysis. In these cases, the level of effort is relatively small and
often involves a brief but immediate technical response. Two examples of these issues
include the following:
a Operators of the Round Mountain Oilfield submitted an Aquifer Exemption
application to the California Geologic Energy Management Division (CaIGEM,
formerly DOGGR) to inject oilfield -produced water into the lower aquifers of the
KRGSA groundwater basin as defined by the KRGSA GSP. The State Water Resources
Control Board coordinated with the KRGSA to protect aquifers that represent either
current or future sources of drinking water.
A recharge project has been proposed on lands adjacent to the KRGSA (McAllister
Ranch), suggesting the need for a technical review related to impacts to either
Subbasin groundwater or the KRGSA GSP.
To fund these short-term consultations, a not -to -exceed budget of $4,000/month is
proposed (about 16 professional labor hours). Todd Groundwater will seek written (email)
approval prior to expending funds from this task.
It is anticipated that these issues will be sufficiently small to handle within this level of
effort. If consultation and analysis appears to be beyond the level of effort or then -
remaining budget associated with this task, Todd Groundwater will notify the KRGSA
managers and prepare a proposal for budget augmentation at that time.

Implementation 7 TODD GROUNDWATER
About 13 comment letters3 were received on the KRGSA GSP during and after the public
comment period, which ended June 3, 2020. A few are either non-technical or do not
require a technical response. The longest comment letter requiring a technical response
consists of a 34 -page critique of the GSP from the Leadership Counsel for Justice and
Accountability, which also includes a 304 -page technical exhibit containing both a technical
analysis of the GSP and numerous guidance documents for KRGSA use. Many of the
comments in the Leadership Counsel's letter both repeat and expand on their previous two
comment letters to the KRGSA.
Several letters address the same technical issues or items, including groundwater
dependent ecosystems, land subsidence, or impacts to private domestic wells. To respond
to multiple comments on similar technical issues, Todd Groundwater will prepare up to
three master technical responses to address multiple comments with one response. These
master responses will also provide the proper context in which issues are addressed in the
GSP. Appropriate analyses located throughout the GSP can be referenced along with
relevant tables and figures that support the response. Although GSP regulations do not
require that all comments are provided a formal response (such as is required in a CEQA
document, for example), the master responses can be developed into more official
responses to specific comments, as needed.
PROPOSED BUDGET
The estimated cost for each of the four tasks described above total $147,974, as presented
on Table 1 following the text of this proposal. Costs are developed to April 1, 2021 to
support the submittal of the 2nd Annual Report. Anticipated tasks and associated costs
needed for the remainder of 2021 will be more easily developed at that time.
As shown on Table 1, Task 1 is expected to cost about $41,015 and includes development
and analyses of the various data sets needed for the Subbasin Second GSP Annual Report.
The data sets will be used with other Subbasin-wide data sets in the update of the
C2VSimFG-Kern Model and will also be expanded and supplemented to produce a
checkbook water budget for the KRGSA to compare to similar water budget analyses
included in the KRGSA GSP.
Task 2 total costs are estimated at about $68,460 and are categorized according to the
components of GSP monitoring. These activities require a relatively significant level of
support for this first year of the monitoring programs; the goal is to provide a foundation for
future monitoring. Although monitoring support may also be needed in 2021, costs will
likely be less, especially for the water quality monitoring activities. In addition, if these

programs are well-maintained and documented over the next four years, the evaluation
needed for the first Five -Year Report will be easier to develop.
As mentioned in Task 2, communications associated with these activities are assumed to be
held via webinar meetings, especially in the near term (e.g., GotoMeeting-type web venues).
It is our understanding that the KRGSA would prefer to hold in-person manager meetings
with technical consultants as soon as possible'. Because Todd Groundwater has a currently -
approved budget that remains sufficient to cover travel expenses, no additional travel
expenses are included herein. Meetings for 2021 can be determined at a later date, as
needed.
Costs for the "As Needed" services associated with Task 3 are estimated at $4,000/month
for the remainder of 2020 (total $20,000). Similar costs can be added to extend these
services into 2021 if the KRGSA prefers.
Finally, costs for the preparation of master responses to GSP comment letters in Task 4 are
estimated at about $18,500 and can begin immediately with a notice to proceed.
An overall schedule in Table 2 (attached to the end of this proposal) illustrates the task
development over the next nine months. All of the tasks can begin immediately, but each is
associated with a different end date.
As indicated on the schedule, Task 1 will be completed by April 1, 2020, the deadline for the
Annual Report submittal to DWR. Although activities associated with the tasks are shown as
continual on the schedule, the level of effort will vary over time. Initially, Todd Groundwater
will work to provide data request templates for the information needed. However, much of
the data will not be available until late in the period.
Activities associated with Task 2 are the most critical with respect to schedule because it
may take time to incorporate replacement wells into the GSP monitoring network. It will
also take time to analyze water quality data and develop the procedures for both water
quality and land subsidence data collection and analysis into the future. In addition,
significant data collection is needed to support the work associated with the water quality
and land subsidence tasks, a process which typically adds time to a task.
As shown on Table 2, the "As Needed" services of Task 3 will extend through 2020. For Task
4, master responses to GSP technical comments can be completed within a couple of
months after notice to proceed.

The Kern Groundwater Authority (KGA), the Kern River Groundwater Sustainability Agency (KRGSA), the
Buena Vista WSD Groundwater Sustainability Agency (BVGSA), the Henry Miller WD Groundwater
Sustainability Agency (HMGSA), and the Olcese WD Groundwater Sustainability Agency (OGSA) wish to
participate in a reimbursement agreement with the Westside District Water Authority (WDWA) for a
basin -wide InSAR study.
On behalf of the Westside District Water Authority, Klein, DeNatale, Goldner has approved a contract
with Earth Consultants International to improve the library of currently available InSAR data by including
additional years (pre -drought) and increasing the resolution of the data that is already available. The
focus of this analysis will be on the extent and magnitude of subsidence in the Areas of Interest (AOIs)
identified in the KGA Groundwater Sustainability Plan and the Kern County Subbasin Coordination
Agreement.
The cost of this work will be split evenly between each Groundwater Sustainability Agency or
Management Area (where applicable). Exhibit 1 sets forth each party's share of the cost. The final
resultant report will be presented to all participants and will be digitally sent to each participant as well.
All parties agree to cost share this effort according to following terms and conditions:
1. The participant signatories below will pay their share of the proposed budget of $75,500 as
shown in Exhibit 1.
2. All payments from participants shall be due 45 days after the receipt of invoice.
If the above terms and conditions are acceptable, please sign and date this letter, and return to WDWA.
Sincerely,
Westside District Water Authority
