Petition for Extension of Time

Public Trust Protest by California Sportfishing Protection Alliance

The California Sportfishing Protection Alliance desire to protest

Application No. 24732 and WR Permit 16790 on environmental grounds.

We have reviewed the subject extension of time and Notice of Petitions

Requesting Changes in Water Right Permits and Licenses, dated February

23, 1998.

Redwood Creek sustains fish and aquatic species and their habitat, and

may sustain Coho Salmon and Steelhead Trout and their habitat.

Reductions and timing to the natural flows affects fish and aquatic

species and their habitat.

In the event Permit 16790 does not contain a mandatory daily minimum

streamflow requirement to protect fish and aquatic species and their

habitat, pursuant to Section 782, CCR, Title 23, the CSPA is requesting

the State Water Resources Control Board to order a mandatory daily

streamflow requirement.

In the event Permit 16790 does contain a mandatory minimum streamflow

requirement, dismiss this protest.

In the event the permitee does not maintain a measuring device below

the point of diversion to measure the environmental water released to

protect fish and aquatic species and their habitat, pursuant to Section

846, CCR, Title 23, the CSPA is requesting the State Water Resources

Control Board to order a measuring device.

In the event Permit 16790 does contain a mandatory measuring device

requirement, and the measuring device has been installed and maintained

by the permittee, dismiss this protest.

Respectfully Submitted
