Hallmark was retained by the Cuyama Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency (CBGSA) to provides support services to the agency, including all Board of Directors reporting and facilitation, project controls, financial management, budget development and tracking, schedule management, consultant management, contract management, public outreach, and coordination of grant administration and reporting. The CBGSA was formed in 2017 pursuant to the Groundwater Sustainability Act (SGMA) to develop and implement the Cuyama Basin Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). The CBGSA is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors and includes representatives from the four counties that intersect the Basin (Kern, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura), the Cuyama Community Services District, and the Cuyama Basin Water District.
Results: The Hallmark managed the development of the GSP which has been approved by the California Department of Water Resources and Hallmark has begun implementation of the plan.
