On March 6, 2018 the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors directed staff to explore basin boundary modifications in both basins in order to better align boundaries with current jurisdictional and/or scientific information. Staff and technical consultants have developed a proposed boundary modification request for the Los Osos Basin that includes both subdividing the basin into two subbasins along jurisdictional and scientific lines and scientific external modifications; and a proposed boundary modification request for the Santa Maria Basin that includes both scientific external modifications and subdividing an area of the basin into its own subbasin along scientific lines.   

 

The Agenda for the June 5, 2018 Board of Supervisors Meeting will be posted one week prior to the meeting date and will be available at: www.slocounty.ca.gov.
