Few regions are as important to California water as the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta where the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers converge to discharge into San Francisco Bay. Fed by runoff from the northern Sierra Nevada and southern Cascades mountain ranges, the Delta is a 700-mile maze of sloughs and waterways surrounding more than 60 levied tracts and islands. The Delta is the hub of California’s two largest surface water delivery projects, the State Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project. The Delta provides a portion of the drinking water for 25 million Californians and provides the $36 billion agricultural industry with irrigation to 4.5 million acres. (1) The Lund Ranch has a very long history of diverting water from Old River which runs adjacent to the property. No water wells are needed on the farm (the only well is for residential domestic use). All the crops are irrigated from the surface water diverted from Old River and the Grant Line Canal. Currently the row crops are irrigated primarily through an extensive drip system installed by and belonging to the tenant. Drainage ditches border each field and excess water is drained away from the growing crops. Once the property is in escrow the Buyer will be granted a due diligence period to confirm the water rights of the property. Water right questions and answers can be found on the State Water Resource Control Board web site referenced below. (2). The Sustainable Ground Water Management Act (SGMA) passed in 2014 requiring groundwater basins to be sustainable by 2040, SGMA requires a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) by 2020. Said plans are likely to limit the amount of well water that may be pumped; especially in the southern part of the San Joaquin Valley. Given these new State regulations, farms with the surface water availability of the Lund Ranch are becoming extremely popular among farmers and agricultural investor groups. Of course, neither the Seller nor Seller’s representatives can predict the future pricing and/or availability of land and water. Prospective Buyers are advised to hire appropriate outside consultants regarding SGMA, water regulations and water availability. The subject property is located in the Tracy sub-basin and is part of the San Joaquin County Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA).
