id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433801145704_358022">On June 4th, 2015,
the Third District Court of Appeal reversed the Siskiyou
County Superior Court’s injunction against the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife (“CDFW”), holding for the
first time that the State’s streambed alteration program
extends to existing water right diversions even if they do
not physically alter streambeds. The Superior Court last
year had stopped CDFW from bringing enforcement actions
against longtime agricultural water users for continuing to
divert surface waters from within the County without first
obtaining a streambed alteration agreement pursuant to
Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. Siskiyou County Farm
Bureau v. California CDFW of Fish and Game, Case No.
SCSCCV11-00418. In a setback for water rights holders, the
Court concluded that Section 1602—ostensibly enacted to
counteract mining-related streambed
alterations—unambiguously embraces ordinary and long-time
water diversions held under existing rights.</em><span
