Emily and Tricia walk through
the pertinent provisions of the Governor's recent drought Executive
Order (EO) affecting agriculture in this podcast.
They cover new permit requirements in the groundwater section and
the steps required under the EO to develop new wells or alter
existing groundwater wells in areas subject to the Sustainable
Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) and located in medium or high
priority basins in California. The team also covers
legislation moving through the State Capitol that could impact the
ability to get new wells in SGMA territories.
