Task 6 – Prepare Draft and Final GSP

For Task 6, we will prepare the Draft and Final GSP document for DWR submittal per GSP Regulations.
Considering that draft sections for the GSP will be developed under the previous tasks, this task includes
time for review and comment by YGSA and editing of these sections into the GSP. For costing purposes,
we assume that an initial document and three revisions will be required as described below. Electronic
submittal of all draft documents is assumed. An Administrative Draft GSP will be prepared for YGSA staff
to review and provide comments. These comments will be incorporated into a Draft GSP that will be
subject to an additional internal review to ensure that comments were appropriately managed. Our costs
assume minimal comments for this version of the GSP. A Final Draft GSP will be prepared to allow sharing
with stakeholders and the public. For the Final Draft GSP, there may be a need for hard copies to be
produced. We assume delivery of up to six (6) hard copies for the Final Draft GSP.

The Final Draft GSP will be a coordinated and unified report that clearly describes the data, methods,
and analyses. With appropriate public and stakeholder notification, it will be uploaded to the GSA
website and will be presented at one of the last technical workshops. Comments received at the
workshop as well as written submitted comments by agencies and stakeholders will be incorporated into
the Final GSP, which will be uploaded to the website with specific notification to and consultation with
cities and counties per SGMA. Following this 90‐day required process, the Final GSP will be printed for
final consideration by GSA members, presentation at a public hearing (a Regular or Special Board
Meeting), and formal adoption. Subsequently, the Final GSP will be submitted to DWR.
Task 7 – Document GSA Governance and Inter‐Basin Agreement

Documentation of the YGSA governance structure is required in GSP per GSP Regulations § 354.6. For
this task, we will document the identified local stakeholders and legal authority of the YGSA including its
bylaws, duties, powers, and responsibilities. The inter‐basin agreement between the Yucaipa Basin and
San Bernardino Basin Area will also be documented.

Task 8 – Develop and Implement Public Outreach Plan

A truly sustainable Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the Yucaipa Basin will require stakeholder
support from many interested parties including those who may not have participated in similar past
planning processes such as representatives of disadvantaged communities and small and low‐income
groundwater users. Accordingly, the Todd Groundwater Team, led by its public outreach consultant MIG,
will develop and implement a customized public outreach plan tailored to specific opportunities and
circumstances of communities in the Basin.
Public outreach will include the following specific tasks:

 Development of a coordinated Outreach Plan and update and maintenance of the interested parties
list for the duration of the project.
 Preparation of the initial GSP notification, conductance of eight (8) stakeholder interviews, three (3)
public workshops, questionnaires.
 Preparation of collateral materials through the GSP development process, including web content,
educational fact sheets, notices for upcoming meetings and workshops, and newsletters.
 Documentation of outcomes of the notifications and communications by the GSA with all interested
parties for incorporation in the GSP.
