La Habra-Brea Management Area
SECTION 7. NOTICE AND COMMUNICATION
7.1 INTRODUCTION
The Cities of La Habra and Brea overlie the La Habra Groundwater Basin and are the only producers of groundwater within the basin. Potential agencies that may additionally have a stake in the successful management of the basin include: • Central Basin Watermaster (DWR): adjudicated Central Basin (Los Angeles) • OCWD: actively manages Orange County portion • City of Fullerton: included in OCW D’s service area
7.2 GROUNDWATER PRODUCERS
As the City of Brea is a direct stakeholder in the Orange County portion of the La Habra Basin outside of OCWD’s service area, Brea was included in the preparation of this plan. While the Central Basin Watermaster, OCWD, and the City of Fullerton do not have a direct stake in the Orange County portion of the La Habra Basin outside of OCWD’s service area that is the focus of this Plan, the portions of the historical La Habra Basin underlying these entities are hydrologically connected to the portion of the basin that is the subject of this Plan. As such these entities were informed that OCWD was preparing this Plan and the planned management of the basin was discussed with them.
7.3 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
The City of La Habra has invited the public to participate in City Council meetings where management of the La Habra Basin and future actions have been discussed and presented. See the 2017 Alternative for additional information. The La Habra GSA will strive to involve the public in groundwater management decisions regarding the La Habra-Brea Management Area. In the future, the La Habra GSA plans to provide copies of the periodic groundwater reports that will be prepared to the public at their requ est and publish information on groundwater management accomplishments on the City’s website. The La Habra GSA will also comply with the public participation requirements under SGMA.
7.4 COMMUNICATION PLAN
The La Habra GSA plans to prepare a summary report of the current conditions of the La Habra Groundwater Basin ideally every two to five years using the results from the monitoring program (see Section 5.0). These informative reports will be used to plan future groundwater projects, develop new groundwater policies, and identify any new concerns with the basin.
