The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) requires periodical evaluation of GSPs at least every 5 years. The upcoming workshops are intended for review and comment on the 5-Year GSP Evaluation draft documents.
Please note that these workshops will be held in-person only.
Both workshops will be held in the LPAR, which is located one floor below the Board of Supervisors Hearing Room (where the FCGMA Board usually holds its meetings). After entering the Hall of Administration, walk across the lobby to the stairs leading down from the escalator, and take the stairs to the lower level. As you exit the stairs, you’ll see doors to the LPAR and the cafeteria to your left. Enter the doors closest to the vending machines; that is the entry into the assembly room. Please see page 2 of this brochure for a map that may be helpful.
Oxnard and Pleasant Valley Basins Technical Discussion Workshop - May 2024
Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency held a technical workshop in support of the ongoing 5-Year Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) Evaluation process in the Oxnard and Pleasant Valley Basins. The workshop was a deeper dive into the data and process being used for the evaluations, as requested by stakeholders during the Q&A portion of the April 5-Year GSP Evaluation Scope workshop series for the Oxnard Subbasin and Pleasant Valley Basin.
Our hope is that this workshop provided valuable context for our technical stakeholders so that they can more meaningfully contribute during the feedback solicitation stage later in the year when the draft is released for review and comment.
The OPV technical workshop was held on Thursday, May 30, from 8 am to 11 am, at the County of Ventura Public Works Saticoy Operations Yard, Conference Rooms A&B. The workshop was not recorded, but we encourage you to review the presentation materials and data linked below.

5-Year GSP Evaluation - Modeling Workshop Series - April 2024
In April 2024, Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency held 5-Year Groundwater Sustainability Plan Evaluation Workshops for the Las Posas Valley Basin, the Oxnard Subbasin, and the Pleasant Valley Basin. The information for both workshops was presented by Dudek’s Senior Hydrogeologist, Dr. Trevor Jones. Stakeholder engagement during the question and answer period was supported by Agency staff and Dr. Jill Weinberger, Principal Hydrogeologist with Dudek.
Each workshop presented an overview of the GSP, the 5-year evaluation scope and process, the numerical modeling being performed to support the 5-year evaluation, next steps, and opportunities for stakeholder involvement. At the start of both sessions, Agency Interim Executive Officer, Arne Anselm, reminded the audience that 5-Year Evaluations are not conducted with the intent of creating entirely new plans, but of revising and updating the submitted GSPs.
Please note that these workshops were held in-person only, with no remote attendance opportunity. Videos of both workshops, along with links to their respective presentation materials, are posted below; we encourage you to review the data presented and the insightful feedback we’ve received from stakeholders for each basin.
