Well, here we go again. That is a quote from our previous President Ronald Reagan.
Groundwater Sustainability Agency? Exactly what does than mean? Managing our current groundwater availability? There isn’t much of that to manage. And what there is may be subject to control schemes that do not help us.
What we have is a flow from the east valley to the west. Other than rain fall and runoff, there is no true source of “groundwater” to manage, unless you consider the Saugus Formation which is already tainted by toxic waste.
Unless somebody has found a magic source of water east of here…that is not currently part of a Superfund agency that is supposed to prevent toxic chemicals from entering the SCV watershed.
Guess what? Other than rainfall, there is no such source. The rain that falls on the northern slope of the San Gabriel Mountains is the primary source of water for the Santa Clarita River basin. Considering the river basin as a source of water ignores the Superfund site at Lang Siding alongside Soledad Canyon Road. Yeah, sure that site has been “fixed” over the last 10 years. But not if you review the state records.
See here*:
The Lubrication Company of America had been recycling used oil at Lang Station at an oil processing and recycling plant since 1969. For eight years, it recycled bunker fuels, used engine oil, jet fuels, and hydraulic oil.
It also handled wastes containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), sulfuric acid, sulfur monochloride, and heavy metals, storing mixed oily wastes containing PCBs, acids, caustics, solvents and other potentially hazardous substances.
In 1983, officials with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control discovered the company’s “poor work practices resulted in releases of hazardous substances.”
In its online folio about the site, DTSC noted: “During the rainy season, the contaminated surface water runoff could potentially impact the Santa Clarita River.”
Does that make you happy? I know that the pumps and tanks just northeast of this area serve my neighborhood, and that my local water company tells me it’s fine. Just fine. In fact, it’s nearly perfect.
Sure. And if they’re going to make this “resource” available to all the valley west of my house, then I want to know if they’re going to fix the toxic runoff before it gets to my house – or just fix it on down the road for Valencia – and Newhall Ranch.
I use filtration technology for my household water, and I pay for that. I don’t get a reduced rate from Newhall Water District when I pay for treated and therefore less toxic water. Will the new CLWA organization that owns and controls all of the water in the SCV pay me back for my subsidizing their control of all SCV water?

I don’t understand how the boundaries on the north edges in Castaic were drawn. Is this going to be another agency that will tax property owners for services of managing ground water?
