Section 10931 Of Chapter 3. Groundwater Monitoring Program From California Water Code >> Division 6. >> Part 2.11. >> Chapter 3.
10931
. (a) The department shall work cooperatively with each
monitoring entity to determine the manner in which groundwater
elevation information should be reported to the department pursuant
to this part. In determining what information should be reported to
the department, the department shall defer to existing monitoring
programs if those programs result in information that demonstrates
seasonal and long-term trends in groundwater elevations. The
department shall collaborate with the State Department of Public
Health to ensure that the information reported to the department will
not result in the inappropriate disclosure of the physical address
or geographical location of drinking water sources, storage
facilities, pumping operational data, or treatment facilities.
(b) (1) For the purposes of this part, the department may
recommend improvements to an existing monitoring program, including
recommendations for additional monitoring wells.
(2) The department may not require additional monitoring wells
unless funds are provided for that purpose.
