State Water Project Table A 100 Percent Utilization analysis is nearing completion and the group hopes to share that at the next full BTAC meeting. The preliminary results are looking really good and what they are showing is that there is sufficient recharge capacity in the Bunker Hill Basin to be able to both recharge San Bernardino Valley Municipal 's (SBVMWD) full Table A allocation along with water in a wet year. The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act boundaries were submitted to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) and are awaiting the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) final ruling on the 556
boundaries. The Groundwater Sustainability Taskforce requested that the BTAC Engineering Subcommittee look at potential cost share alternatives. The San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District (SBVWCD) and SBVMWD put together a series of potential cost alternatives. They are working through the development of some of the concepts. There will be some refinements and data needs that were identified. There will be a meeting on August 15th to continue the work and to flush out the alternatives. Once the Engineering Subcommittee is in full agreement, it will be brought back to the full BTAC. The next full Engineering Subcommittee meeting will be on October 3rd. B.
