Subject: April 12, 2002 Liaison Report—North County Water Purveyors Group.
At its April meeting, the North County Water Purveyors Group again focused most of the
discussion on the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin Analysis Report. The dialogue
covered recommendations from the committee on what should be included in Phase 2 of
the basin analysis.
Phase 1 of the analysis has been completed and the draft report is available on the
County's Website or libraries. Hard copies may be purchased at Kinko's in downtown
San Luis Obispo. Phase 1 provides a snapshot of the basin today and how it has
performed over a 17-year base period of 1980 to 1997. As reported previously, there are
areas of the basin with declining water levels, but overall it appears to be stable.
The Phase 2 analysis is proposed to incorporate a basin model that will allow some
predictive analysis to be used for planning purposes. Also, given the issues with
increasing nitrates and TDS in portions of the basin, modeling of changes in water quality
are also being proposed. The Purveyors Group discussed general questions we'd like the
analysis and model to answer. The consultant, Fugro, will incorporate these issues and
questions into a proposed scope of work for County consideration
On another matter,the Group also moved to forward a recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors supporting a sole source contract with Fugro for the Phase 2 work. Everyone
involved has been impressed with the quality and integrity of the work completed on
Phase I and feel Fugro would be able to provide that same quality and all-important
continuity to Phase 2.
If you have any questions regarding this meeting,please feel free to contact me or John
Moss at x205.
