California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act

Matthew J. Witteman is a trial attorney with more than 27 years experience in state and federal court, including complex litigation, real property, and business matters.  He is a member of the State Bar of California’s Subcommittee on Agri-Business and a Sonoma County grower and resident.  He has spoken throughout the County on groundwater issues.

Mr. Witteman will speak about California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (“SGMA”), and Sonoma County’s proposed implementation of the Act.  SGMA requires Sonoma County  to establish by a date certain Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (“GSA’s”) and Groundwater Sustainability Plans (“GSP’s”) for groundwater basins in the County.
