The Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency (FCGMA) is the groundwater sustainability agency for the Las Posas Valley Basin, the Pleasant Valley Basin, and the Oxnard Subbasin, and acts as watermaster for the Las Posas Valley Basin. FCGMA is an independent special district, separate from the County of Ventura or any city government, created by the California Legislature in 1982 to oversee Ventura County’s groundwater resources.
The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act requires a periodic evaluation of groundwater sustainability plans at least once every 5 years (Periodic Evaluations). Periodic Evaluations for the Oxnard Subbasin, Pleasant Valley Basin and the Las Posas Valley Basin were approved for submittal to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) during the December 13, 2024 FCGMA Board special meeting, and the submitted evaluations have been made available on the DWR SGMA portal; DWR posting of the evaluations has initiated a 75-day public comment period.
