The Big Valley Groundwater Basin Advisory Committee meets at 4 p.m. Thursday Sept. 24 (rescheduled from Aug. 26) at the Bieber Memorial Veterans Hall, 657-575 Bridge St., Bieber.

The meeting will start with a review of Big Valley groundwater conditions (GSP Chapter 5), including sections on:

• Groundwater elevations – and how they rebound from drought groundwater quality;
• Naturally occurring minerals and local monitoring sites; and
• The role of groundwater regarding wetlands and local vegetation.

This will be followed by a continued discussion on the description of the general area and local planning initiatives (GSP Chapter 3), as well as the geology and water bodies in and around Big Valley Groundwater Basin (GSP Chapter 4).
