Bulk Reporting allows any Reporter or Agent extracting groundwater from
an unmanaged area or a probationary basin, pursuant to the SGMA, beginning
in 2017, to file more than one groundwater extraction report with the
State Water Board. Exceptions to reporting include:
- De minimis users in unmanaged areas are exempt from reporting. The
State Intervention Fact
Sheet provides details on de minimis users.
- Extractions reported pursuant to the Recordation of Water
Extractions and Diversions administered by the State
Water Board’s Groundwater Recordation Program do not have to
file an additional SGMA report.
Bulk Reporting module provides instructions for:
- logging into the GEARS application.
- uploading and managing bulk wells.
- adding and managing POU data after a bulk well upload.
- uploading and managing bulk volumes.
- submitting and viewing bulk reports.
