The FCGMA retained Dudek in
2016 to prepare the GSPs for the
Oxnard, Las Posas, and Pleasant
Valley basins in Ventura County.
These basins were designated
high priority by DWR for overdraft
and water quality. The plan
requirements include historical
basin and water use conditions,
including an annual water budget
for the 30-year period from 1985–
2015; determination of
sustainable basin yield and
associated uncertainty; definition
of undesirable results and
minimum thresholds; and identification of water resource projects or management actions
necessary to achieve sustainable management by 2040. After compiling and evaluating existing
data from multiple agencies, Dudek completed preliminary drafts of the GSPs in November 2017,
which were released for public review. Dudek has led stakeholder outreach efforts throughout the
development of the GSPs including development of an outreach and engagement plan, ongoing
communication with more than 400 interested parties through electronic newsletters, facilitating
six stakeholder meetings and leading two workshops for the FCGMA Board of Directors. We are
proceeding with incorporating the feedback received from stakeholders during the review process
and revising the initial conditions for the numerical model simulations of future conditions. The
plans are scheduled for completion by the fall of 2018.
