Groundwater Coordinating Council
August, 2009
The Honorable, The Legislature:
The Groundwater Coordinating Council (GCC) is pleased to release its 2009 Report to the Legislature. The GCC was formed in 1984 to help state agencies coordinate non-regulatory activities and exchange information on groundwater. For the past 25 years, the GCC has served as a model for interagency coordination and cooperation among state agencies, the Governor, local and federal government, and the university. It is one of the few groups in the nation to effectively coordinate groundwater activities in its state from an advisory position.
S276
This report summarizes GCC and agency activities related to groundwater protection and management in FY 09 (July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009) and provides an overview of the condition of the groundwater resource. See the Executive Summary for highlights and the GCC's recommendations in Directions for Future Groundwater Protection. The full report will be made available online at

Highlights of the State's groundwater protection activities this past year include:
