LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 919, as amended, Dodd. Water resources: stream gages.Under existing law, the State Water Resources Control Board administers a water rights program pursuant to which the state board grants permits and licenses to appropriate water. Existing law, the Open and Transparent Water Data Act, requires the Department of Water Resources, the board, and the Department of Fish and Wildlife to coordinate and integrate existing water and ecological data from local, state, and federal agencies.This bill would require the Department of Water Resources, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to develop a plan to deploy a network of stream gages that includes a determination of funding needs and opportunities for modernizing and reactivating existing gages. gages and delpoying new gages, as specified. The bill would require the department, in consultation with the board, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Department of Conservation, the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, interested stakeholders, and, to the extent they wish to consult, local agencies, to develop the plan to address significant gaps in information necessary for water management. management and the conservation of freshwater species. The bill would require the department to give priority in the plan to placing or modernizing and reactivating stream gages where lack of data contributes to conflicts in water management actions, as specified, and to consider specified criteria in developing the plan.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) Fourteen Less than 14 percent of the states significant stream segments are well gaged.(b) Californias current stream gage network is poorly funded and not well organized, and data on existing gages pertaining to funding, location, and operating condition is difficult to find.(c) The stream gage network fails to report key variables such as flow, temperature, and drainage.(d) For a stream gage to be effective in helping inform water management during climate extremes and highly variable flows, it should record quality data, report key variables such as flow and temperature, and make its data accessible to the public promptly.(e) The largest individual sponsor of stream gages in California is the United States Geological Survey (USGS), which works largely in partnership with a variety of state and federal agencies that provide funding to support gages and at least 57 percent of USGS-funded gages are also funded by a local agency.(f) The data about which specific agencies are already funding particular stream gages is available for only 20 percent of active gages in California, and to better understand the gage landscape in the state, it is critical to know which agencies are funding particular gages.SEC. 2. Section 144 is added to the Water Code, to read:144. (a) Upon appropriation by the Legislature, the department shall develop a plan to deploy a network of stream gages that includes a determination of funding needs and opportunities for modernizing and reactivating existing gages. gages and deploying new gages in priority locations across hydrologic regions in the state, including reference sites. (b) The department, in consultation with the board, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Department of Conservation, the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, interested stakeholders, and, to the extent they wish to consult, local agencies, shall develop the plan to address significant gaps in information necessary for water management. management and the conservation of freshwater species. (c) The department shall give priority in the plan to placing or modernizing and reactivating stream gages where lack of data contributes to conflicts in water management actions, including, but not limited to, actions related to the following:(1) Water supply management.(2) Flood management.(3) Water quality management.(4) Ecosystem management.(d) Other criteria to be considered by the department in developing the plan include all of the following:(1) Opportunities for local agencies to enter cost-share arrangements to install or maintain the stream gage.(2) Ease of integrating the stream gage into the existing network.(3) Availability of historic gage data for specific locations.(4) Availability of temperature data for specific locations. (5) Degree of water quality and flow impacts related to cannabis cultivation.
