Delta-Mendota Subbasin Domestic Well Mitigation Policy

The Delta-Mendota Subbasin Domestic Well Mitigation Policy is a forecast initiative managed by the Madera County GSA in California. The primary objective of this policy is to mitigate the adverse effects on domestic water users whose wells have gone dry or are facing an imminent threat of going dry due to dropping groundwater levels resulting from groundwater management within the subbasin. Additionally, the policy provides for water quality mitigation for domestic well users under specific conditions. The project is categorized under NAICS code 541620 and is located within the Delta-Mendota Subbasin in Madera County. According to the Notice of Exemption signed on October 20, 2025, by Planner III Jacob Aragon, the project is exempt from certain environmental reviews under categorical exemptions 15307, 15308, and 15061(b)(3), as it involves environmental protection procedures that do not result in significant environmental impacts. Jacob Aragon serves as the primary point of contact for the agency.
