AQUAVEIN · BASIN RECORD
5-021.62 Sutter Basin — what the plan permits
From California's own SGMA Monitoring Network records: this basin carries 64 state monitoring sites (program: GSP). Where the adopted plan sets minimum thresholds, they convert to 11–90 ft below ground (median 28 ft) — the level groundwater is permitted to reach at those sites before the plan reacts.
Deepest permitted level
90 ft
below ground, at the deepest-threshold representative site in this basin.
Median threshold

across 55 threshold-bearing sites.
The question
Your well vs. that line
A parcel report computes your margin against the nearest sites — sourced, graded, signed.
Figures derive from DWR's SGMA Monitoring Network Module (SMC_MT/LAST_GSE) as cached 2026-07-15; thresholds apply at monitoring sites — conditions between sites vary. Informational; not engineering, legal, hydrogeologic, or investment advice.
