Petition for Extension of Time and Change in Place of Use
Public Trust Protest by California Sportfishing Protection Alliance
The California Sportfishing Protection Alliance desire to protest
Application No. 29122 and WR Permit 20355 on environmental grounds.
We have reviewed the subject extension of time and change in place of
use and Notice of Petitions Requesting Changes in Water Right Permits
and Licenses, dated February 23, 1998.
The Russian River Watershed sustains Coho Salmon, and Steelhead Trout,
including other fish species and their habitat. Miller Creek sustains
fish and aquatic species and their habitat. Reductions and timing to the
natural flows affects fish and aquatic species and their habitat.
In the event Permit 20355 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.
The CSPA is requesting the same conditions as being required by the
SWRCB on pending water right applications.
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 20355 does contain a mandatory measuring device
requirement, and the measuring device has been installed and maintained
by the permittee, dismiss this protest.
Respectfully Submitted
