Salinas Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency seeks members for subbasin implementation committees
Deadline to apply is Aug. 20, 2024
The Salinas Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency (SVBGSA) is accepting applications for its six subbasin implementation committees through Aug. 20, 2024.
These positions are ideal for people who have an interest in groundwater and local governance. The subbasin implementation committees for SVBGSA discuss, debate and deliberate on matters that focus on the implementation of the groundwater sustainability plans of the subbasins that the SVBGSA manages. Committee members must live or work in one of the subbasins, and collaboration and leadership skills are valued.
The committees monitor subbasin sustainability criteria, prioritize subbasin-specific projects and management actions, seek community input and identify preferred funding mechanisms. The committees advise and recommend actions to the SVBGSA Board of Directors and to provide feedback to staff. The committees do not make final determinations, but rather make recommendations for Board consideration and action.
