On September 16, 2016, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 564 (Cannella) North Fork Kings Groundwater Sustainability Agency Act. This bill formed a groundwater sustainability agency under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act for the North Fork Kings Area. The bill requires that the newly formed Groundwater Sustainability Agency develop and implement a Groundwater Sustainability Plan. The bill described the board membership and established the agency’s initial boundaries.

North Fork Kings GSA manages groundwater for portions of Fresno and Kings counties in the southwestern portion of the Kings Subbasin. The agency’s service area includes the communities of Riverdale, Laton, and Lanare, and surrounding agricultural lands.
