April 2024 Revised Tulare Lake Subbasin (TLS) Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP)

This version of the revised TLS GSP is reflective of what was recently considered by the MKR GSA Board. However this version is not supported by all GSAs in the TLS. Following the inadequate determination from the CA Department of Water Resources (DWR) in March 2023, the Tulare Lake Subbasin GSAs have been coordinating to address the determination.

More information on a comment period will be provided if an agreement between the GSAs can be made on outstanding issues.
