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.</span></em> … ” </span><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'><a href="http://www.downeybrand.com/Resources/Legal-Alerts/97303/Appeals-Court-Decides-Crucial-Case-On-State-Fish-And-Wildlife-CDFWS-Extension-Of-Streambed-Alteration-Limits-To-Existing-Water-Diversions" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#004488;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in;text-decoration:none'>Read more by clicking here.</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433801145704_357947"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>_______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>env-trinity mailing list<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="mailto:env-trinity@velocipede.dcn.davis.ca.us">env-trinity@velocipede.dcn.davis.ca.us</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://www2.dcn.org/mailman/listinfo/env-trinity">http://www2.dcn.org/mailman/listinfo/env-trinity</a><o:p></o:p></pre></blockquote><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
