NOE Adoption of Resolution No. 26-1271 Levying Replenishment Assessment

The Water Replenishment District of Southern California is preparing to levy a replenishment assessment on groundwater production within its jurisdiction for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027, as authorized under Section 60317 of the California Water Code. This action is part of an ongoing water resource management initiative and has been determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Guidelines 15261(a) because it constitutes a continuation of existing activities rather than a new or expanded project. The assessment is intended to support the District’s groundwater replenishment efforts and ensure sustainable aquifer management. The notice of adoption of Resolution No. 26-1271 serves as a formal announcement of this upcoming fiscal action and is published as a forecast to inform stakeholders. There is no solicitation number, contract value, or formal procurement documentation currently available, as this is a regulatory action rather than a competitive acquisition. The District’s point of contact for inquiries includes Arthella Vallarta, Associate Water Resources Planner, and Stephan Tucker, General Manager, both reachable via phone and email. The action will be administered locally within California, with no federal acquisition clauses or contract terms applicable, as this is a state-level water governance matter governed entirely by California statutory authority.
