One domestic well provides water for the residences and horses and produces 19± gpm. One irrigation well, which produces 600± gpm, pumps water to two storage tanks (combined 60,000 gallons) and then is gravity-fed through moveable sprinklers to supply water to the pastures and cropland. There are countless valves surrounding the pastures to facilitate this process. Moreover, the irrigation well was recently upgraded to a VFD (variable frequency drive) system which allows for automatic control of the motor. Although a portion of the HuerHuero Creek traverses the property, it is not a surface body of water. The creek is an underground stream that flows directly to the Salinas River. For more information on the HuerHuero’s watershed click here. Additionally, it should be noted that Golden Hills Farm lies within the Paso Robles Ground Water Basin and is subject to current groundwater regulations. In accordance with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), the Paso Robles Groundwater Basin was created to sustainably manage the groundwater resources of the Paso Robles Subbasin. In short, the Groundwater Basin requires new and/or expanded irrigated crop production to obtain an Agricultural Offset Clearance from the County. Click here to learn more.
