The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) requires periodic evaluation of groundwater sustainability plans (GSPs) at least every 5 years. FCGMA developed first Periodic Evaluation documents for its GSPs for each basin: Las Posas Valley (LPV), Oxnard Subbasin, and Pleasant Valley (PV), following the best practices recommended by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR).

Periodic Evaluations for the Oxnard Subbasin, Pleasant Valley Basin and the Las Posas Valley Basin were approved for submittal to DWR during the December 13, 2024 special meeting. The Periodic Evaluations were submitted to DWR by their deadline of January 13, 2025 (exactly 5 years after the Groundwater Sustainability Plans were submitted, which is why this iteration of periodic evaluations has often been referred to as “5-Year GSP Evaluations”). The evaluations have been made available on the DWR SGMA portal within 20 days of submittal; DWR posting of the evaluations has initiated 75-day public comment periods. Due to its resubmittal, the revised Oxnard Periodic Evaluation public comment period is open until April 30, 2025.
