General Manager Edwards gave a brief introduction on the work completed on the 3D geologic and groundwater flow models. Vince Clause and Michelle Sutherland, consultants for the District, gave a detailed update and 3D movie preview on the new defined Management Zone 1 update to the 3D geological model. The PowerPoint presentation presented at the meeting is attached as attachment A. Dr. Bill Hutchison gave an update on historical groundwater production estimates from 2008 to 2018 based on District records and presented several graphs comparing historical groundwater production estimates to current Groundwater Models. He indicated that all this information is critical to the development of the groundwater flow model that is being developed by the District. A tech memo will be created for each of the components for the groundwater flow model and the District will receive comment on each phase of the development. The pumping estimates presentation is attached as attachment B. Dr. Robert Mace spoke during this item and discussed some of his work on pumping estimates in his draft report associated with Comanche Springs. Dr. Mace went over his simple “Bathtub Model” and reported, in his estimate, if pumping in the Leon Belding area is above 49,000 acre feet a year spring flow will be nonexistent and pumping below 49,000 acre feet a year will produce winter spring flow in Comanche Springs. Dr. Mace did elaborate that in his estimates to produce year round flow at Comanche Springs of 10 — 20 cfs, pumping in the Leon Belding area would need to be 25,000-36,000 acre feet a year. He estimated that 50% of current pumping would need to be reduced to restore Comanche Springs to year round flows. Briefing and take action as necessary on Cockrell Investment Partners, L.P. v.
