       VII.    Discussion Items

               A.      Status Report on Water Level Monitoring throughout the Beaumont Basin through
                       January 24, 2018

                              Recommendation:  No recommendation.

                              Engineer Hannibal Blandon reported on monitoring of existing wells in January.
                              There are some candidate wells in the central western portion of the basin. He
                              is  talking  to  the  owners  for  potential  use  of  the  wells  in  the  monitoring
                              program.

                              Mr. Blandon noted that probes are now working in wells Yucaipa 34 and Oak
                              Valley 5 and gave an overview of water level changes. He said that the City of
                              Banning  Well  M-A  is  no  longer  viable  as  a  monitoring  well;  the  level  has
                              declined about 20 ft. in the last two years.  Water levels at Beaumont-Cherry
                              Valley wells 2 and 25 are parallel. City of Banning Well 8 is no longer viable for
                              monitoring; it may have collapsed and a sounding probe was unrecoverable.

                              The loss at Well 8 resulted in a need to replace equipment– a new sounding
                              probe will be requested, along with a 400-ft cable.

                              Chairman Vela asked about corrupt data. Mr. Blandon pointed out gaps in Sun
                              Lakes graphs over the last two months.
