One Kings County groundwater agency will send an emissary to Sacramento to ask for more time before its farmers are charged fees while other agencies pour over a recent state report for guidance. At its March 24 meeting, the Mid-Kings River Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) approved sending Doug Verboon, also a Kings County Supervisor, to Sacramento April 7 to appear before the Water Resources Control Board. … Meanwhile, other GSAs are reacting to a recent Water Board report on the neighboring Tule subbasin. … That report recommended none of the Tule GSAs requesting exemptions from reporting and fees be granted the so-called “good actor” exclusions. The Water Board will consider the recommendation at its April 21 meeting.
