I know that they are regulating natural resource users to death. Pretty soon, we will have to open the floodgates and allow development on our farms and ranches because they can no longer afford to comply.
Currently, the state wants to:
(1)shut down all suction dredge mining through AB 1032 and the hearing next week at the water quality control Board on mining impacts;
(2) add a whole bunch of new regulations to implement “recovery” measures for coho on the timber industry (and I thought “recovery” actions were voluntary;
(3) regulate agriculture through
(a)water quality total maximum daily load limits on sediment, nutrients and temperature,
(b) new riparian and wetlands controls,
(c) waste discharge regulations (WDRs,)
(d)Section 404 Clean water act permits (now they want to remove “naviagable waters of the US so the feds can control nonnavigable in-state streams)
(e) incidental take permits on salmon,
(f) 1603 permits from the Dept. of Fish and Game to divert water from a fish bearing stream
(g) new limits on development in a flood plain
