Appeals Court Decides Crucial Case On State Fish And Wildlife CDFW'S
Extension Of Streambed Alteration Limits To Existing Water Diversions: "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. . "
