Last week, the California State Water Control Board released the probationary hearing notice and Draft Staff Report for the Kern County Subbasin. The hearing is set for February 20, 2025, at 9 a.m. In the meantime, the State Water Board will review the Draft Staff Report to determine whether the Kern County Subbasin complies with SGMA regulations or if it shall be designated as a probationary basin. To inform its decision, the State Water Board has opened the public comment period. All written comments are due by September 23, 2024, at 12 p.m. to SGMA-Kern@waterboards.ca.gov.
The State Water Board will also hold two public workshops prior to the hearing to explain the report and gather additional public comments. Details below.
