(a) A management plan shall contain, unless explained as not applicable, the following elements:
(1) Management goals:
(2) Management objectives that the district will use to achieve the management goals in paragraph (1) of this subsection.

(4) Details of how the district will manage groundwater supplies in the district, including a methodology by which the district will track its progress in achieving its management goals. At least one goal must be tracked on an annual basis; however, other goals may be defined and tracked over a longer time period as appropriate; and

(b) The management goals, performance standards and management objectives required in subsection (a)(1), (2), and (3) of this section must be consistent with the established desired future conditions of the district's groundwater management area(s).
