Overview
The Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA) GWMA was designated by the director in November 2016. Based on ongoing concerns with ground water diversions from the ESPA, Governor Little has asked the department to form an advisory committee of water users to prepare a draft management plan for the ESPA GWMA.
