Subject: Statement of Qualifications
Attachments: Lytle Water Solutions, LLC SOQ-20150501.pdf
Hello,
We thought you may be interested in our team's specialties:
• Developing basin - specific integrated groundwater /surface water models for various purposes.
• Water quality investigations, contaminant fate and transport, remediation, and source water
protection plans.
• Water rights, development of water sources, and aquifer storage and recovery.
We are a small company with decades of experience as a licensed consultant, and expert witness, for water
resources projects in California and throughout the United States. Lytle Water Solutions' staff are experts in
water resources, groundwater modeling, and sustainability. A digital Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) is
attached which contains resumes for our key team members. It also contains links to videos which depict
both comprehensive and simple geologic models, and discusses our approaches to managing data, geologic
modeling, flow modeling, similar recent projects, and references.
Occasionally, our work involves building very comprehensive basin -wide models, which support many uses,
and are sometimes jointly funded by multiple users. However, much more often we develop less robust local
models to answer specific questions. Many times we've been asked to review and update /improve previously
constructed models and management plans prepared by others. We want to be very clear that we have great
flexibility working on both small and large projects, from a few square miles in size up to several hundred
square miles, and we tailor our work to meet our clients' needs and budgets.
Our standard approach is to work with our client and local experts to utilize their knowledge of the basin,
history, and available data, while performing the bulk of the engineering and hydrogeology workload with our
team's efficient staff who have thousands of hours assessing California basins. Thus, we can provide
deliverables which are cost - effective, and involve local expertise.
If you would like to learn more about our capabilities, or want to discuss your situation, whether it's related to
a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) or some other matter, just let us know. We are always glad to discuss
options to suit your needs and prepare a proposal, at our expense.
Best regards,
Gary

Kern River Groundwater Sustainability Agency
May 19, 2017
Mr. Trevor Joseph
Sustainable Groundwater Management Section Chief
California Department of Water Resources
P.O. Box 942836
Sacramento, California 94236 -0001
SUBJECT: NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO DEVELOP GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
Dear Mr. Joseph,
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Kern River Groundwater Sustainability Agency
(KRGSA) intends to develop a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) pursuant to Water Code
Section 10727.8 for its service area within the Kern County Subbasin (Basin Number 5- 22.14,
DWR Bulletin 118). The KRGSA is an exclusive GSA whose formation was posted by DWR on
April 21, 2016.
The KRGSA is engaged in several coordination and outreach efforts across the Kern County
Subbasin, as well as, within the more specific service area of the KRGSA. The KRGSA actively
participates in technical and planning meetings and forums with other GSAs in the Kern County
Subbasin, recognizing that the findings of the KRGSA's GSP will need to be coordinated with
other GSP development efforts occurring in parallel within the Kern County Subbasin. The
KRGSA has taken the lead in developing modelling tools that will facilitate integration and plan
alignment among multiple GSAs /GSPs in the Subbasin. The KRGSA holds monthly public
meetings to review and discuss on -going planning activities in support of the GSA and GSP
development process. These meetings welcome public input and feedback to the GSA and the
GSP development process.
Once the GSP process is more fully underway, the KRGSA will also be holding quarterly
meetings with the specific objective of reviewing progress in developing the technical elements
of the GSP. These quarterly GSP update meetings will be open to the public and welcome
participation by other GSAs in the Kern County subbasin, interested parties within the basin or
KRGSA service area, or other members of the public. In addition to these coordination and
technical efforts described above, the KRGSA will also be holding educational workshops
specifically intended for the interested parties and general public (residents) living in the KRGSA
service area. These additional workshops will have an educational focus to inform attendees on
the overall role and purpose of the GSA, describe the method and process to develop the GSP,
and share our understanding on how the GSP will eventually be implemented. One of the key
goals of these public workshops will be to hear comments and feedback from the public that
can be used to further inform the GSP development process.
The KRGSA has established a website at: http: / /kernrivergsa.org/ . This website is already
actively in use and will continue to provide the public with key information regarding the GSA
and GSP development process including the dates of public meetings and workshops. The
KRGSA website also makes our resource planning and GSP documents available to the public.
Attached for your reference is the draft KRGSA GSP development schedule. More specific dates
for public workshops and other educational and outreach events will be added to the working
schedule in time.
If you have any questions regarding our GSP development process, please don't hesitate to
contact me at the phone number or email below.
Thank you,
Art Chianello, P.E.

Emergency Regulation for Implementation of
the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
On May 16, 2017, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board or Board) adopted an
emergency regulation to implement State Water Board provisions of the Sustainable Groundwater
Management Act (SGMA).
SGMA and State Intervention
In 2014, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed SGMA, which creates a framework for sustainable, local
groundwater management for the first time in California history. SGMA requires the formation of local
groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) in California's high- or medium - priority groundwater basins
or the submittal of an alternative that demonstrates a basin is already sustainable.1 GSAs are required
to develop groundwater sustainability plans that make basins sustainable within 20 years of
implementation. If locals are unable or unwilling to sustainably manage their basin, the State Water
Board is authorized to intervene. State intervention is triggered by one of the following events:
• July 1, 2017 No GSA or Alternative for entire basin
• February 1, 2020 Basin is in critical overdraft and there is no plan or DWR fails plan
• February 1, 2022 No plan or DWR fails plan and basin is in long -term overdraft
• February 1, 2025 DWR fails plan and basin has significant surface water depletions
Beginning July 1, 2017, portions of basins not within the service area of a GSA are considered
unmanaged.z Any person that extracts groundwater from an unmanaged area must submit annual
reports to the State Water Board.a If locals fail to form a GSA, fail to develop an adequate sustainability
plan, or fail to implement the plan successfully, the Board may designate the basin probationary and
directly manage groundwater extractions.4 Any person who extracts groundwater from a probationary
basin must submit annual reports to the State Water Board, although the Board has discretion to
exclude certain extractors from reporting.s
Annual reports are due to the Board by December 15 of each year for extractions made during the
previous water year (October 1 - September 30). A report must be submitted for each well and must
identify well owner information, well location, well capacity, monthly extraction volumes, and place(s)
and purpose(s) of use. Extraction volumes must be measured by a method satisfactory to the Board.e
Electronic Filing of Reports
The emergency regulation includes a requirement that groundwater extraction reports be filed
electronically, as authorized by SGMA7. The State Water Board is developing a web -based electronic
reporting system for the preparation and submission of reports of groundwater extraction.
STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
1001 1 Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 . MMaiding Address: P.0, Box, 100, Sacramento, CA 95812 -0100 - www.waterboards.ca.gov
The reporting system will increase the reliability and standardization of information collected, and will
ensure that information is maintained in a form that will be a resource to local agencies when
groundwater management is returned to local control.
The reporting system will ease the burden of preparing reports by 1) providing resources to identify
groundwater extraction information; 2) identifying information on behalf of extractors; and 3) providing
mapping resources in lieu of well owners acquiring maps or consulting services to satisfy requirements
for locational information.
State Water Board Fees
Any person that files an extraction report must pay a filing fee to cover the Board's SGMA- related costs.s
The emergency regulation specifies these fees, as required by SGMA,9 and allows the Board to update
the fees as necessary to reflect changing conditions and programmatic costs. These fees will not apply
in basins where local implementation of SGMA is successful.
Fees for the 2017 Water Year
In an effort to prioritize GSA formation and well registration, and to avoid undue burden to unmanaged
extractors, the State Water Board adopted simplified fees for the 2017 Water Year, as detailed below:
• The annual fee for reports due by December 15, 2017 is a flat fee of $300.
The late fee for reports due by December 15, 2017 is $100 for each month late up to a maximum of
$1200 (inclusive of the $300 flat fee).
If a GSA forms between July 1, 2017 and September 30, 2017, extractors within the GSA service area
are considered unmanaged for the 2017 water year and must report to the Board by December 15,
2017, but the annual fee is waived.
Fees for the 2018 Water Year
The fees are tied to the "level" of state intervention occurring in a basin. Each level is associated with
particular types of activities increasing staff workloads and other costs.
1. Unmanaged Area: An unmanaged area is a portion of a basin not within the service area of a GSA.
Extractors in unmanaged areas must submit annual reports to the Board.so Board staff will have to
identify unmanaged extractors, collect and review reports, verify extraction data, and evaluate the
impact of unmanaged extractors on groundwater conditions in a basin.
2. Probationary Basin: If local failure triggers state intervention, the Board may designate the basin
"probationary. "11 Extractors in probationary basins are required to submit annual extraction reports
to the Board.12 In addition to the workload associated with locating extractors in a basin and
managing reports, Board staff will have to evaluate basin conditions and investigate potential
solutions for unsustainable conditions.
3. Interim Plan: In certain cases, the Board will need to directly manage extractions in a basin. In those
instances, the Board must develop an interim plan that contains corrective actions, a timeline to
make the basin sustainable, and a monitoring plan to ensure corrective actions are working.ss

In addition to the fees detailed above, the Board has the authority to order extractors in a probationary
basin to prepare and submit technical or monitoring program reports. Therefore, the costs associated
with these reports are not currently included in the emergency regulation.14
Metered Extraction Discount
To be eligible for the $10 per acre -foot unmanaged area rate, extractors must measure groundwater
extraction volumes with a meter that meets the following criteria:
• The meter must be equipped with a totalizer and permanently attached to the well.
• No water use can occur between the point of extraction and the meter.
• The meter must be calibrated by a qualified individual to be accurate to within ± five (5) percent by
volume upon installation and at least once every five years.
• The meter must be accessible for reading, inspection, testing, repair and replacement.
• The meter must be available for inspection by the State Water Board.
Extractors are responsible for the installation and maintenance of meters and all related costs.

Annual Fees when a GSA Forms or Dissolves after September 30, 2017
Typically, annual fees are based on the volume of groundwater extracted during the entire previous
water year. There is an exception for extractors in areas where a GSA forms after September 30, 2017.
These extractors are required to report for the entire water year, but the annual fee is limited to
extractions made during the months the extractors were unmanaged. For example, if a GSA forms on
March 15, 2018, extractors in that area will only be charged for extractions made during the entire
months of October 2017 through March 2018. On the other hand, if a GSA rescinds its formation notice
and an extractor is no longer within the management of a GSA after September 30, 2017, the fee will be
based on extractions made during the entire previous water year.
De minimis Extractors
SGMA defines a de minimis extractor as "a person who extracts, for domestic purposes, two -acre feet or
less per year. "ZS A person who extracts two acre -feet or less per year for a non - domestic purpose is not
considered a de minimis extractor. Domestic purposes do not include commercial activities. A person
who extracts more than two acre -feet per year from a parcel is not a de minimis user. De minimis users
are exempt from reporting in unmanaged areas. However, the State Water Board may require de
minimis extractors to report in a probationary basin if necessary.1e The emergency regulation clarifies
how the term "domestic purposes" will be interpreted when determining if an extractor is de minimis.
Stakeholder Input
The State Water Board held outreach meetings and presented fee schedule proposals at local events to
get a better understanding of stakeholder concerns and solicit feedback on how to best structure the
annual fees. A draft of the emergency regulation was released for public comment on March 10, 2017
and followed by a workshop on March 21, 2017. The emergency regulation incorporates input provided
by a wide range of stakeholders including local governments, water suppliers, businesses, and
individuals.
Interim Plans and Groundwater Sustainability Plans
State intervention is intended to temporarily protect groundwater resources until local authorities can
demonstrate their ability and willingness to manage groundwater sustainably. An interim plan is not
intended for permanent management of a basin. Local efforts to address the deficiencies that caused
state intervention will need to be funded by local agencies while groundwater extractors also pay State
Water Board fees; this will likely result in a scenario of extractors paying both local and state fees.

State Water Board Flexibility
SGMA provides the State Water Board with three means of flexibility in the intervention process.
The provisions described below will affect the applicability of the state intervention fees.
1. Areas in compliance with the sustainability goal will be excluded from probation. 17
2. Extractors may be excluded from probationary reporting and related fees.18
3. Successful elements of a local sustainability plan will be incorporated into an interim plan.19
