GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. I
WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN BY ACCEPTING
THE AMENDMENTS SUGGESTED BY, UM
, THE COMMITTEE AND ITS ANALYSIS
. I WANT TO THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR IN YOUR COMMITTEE STAFFER
WORKING WITH MY OFFICE ON THIS
BILL. UM I REALLY HAVE
APPRECIATED OUR CONVERSATIONS
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS
AND YOUR PASSENGER ADDRESS WATER
PROFITEERING, AND I THINK YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT IN YOUR EFFORTS
BECAUSE WATER IS A HUMAN RIGHT.
AND AS CLIMATE CHANGE CREATES
MORE WATER PROBLEMS FOR US, WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT
RIGHT IS PROTECTED. AND SO HERE
WE HAVE SENATE BILL 231, WHICH
REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES TO ADOPT THE
RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY THE
INDEPENDENT CALIFORNIA STATE
AUDITOR. THESE RECOMMENDATIONS
STEMMED FROM A RECENTLY RELEASED
AUDIT, WHICH EXAMINED THE W. D W
R S MANAGEMENT OF THE STATE'S
WATER SUPPLY. BUT SPECIFICALLY,
SP 231 WOULD REQUIRE DWR TO
ESTABLISH A FORMAL PROCESS TO
ANNUALLY EVALUATE THE ACCURACY
OF ITS WATER SUPPLY FORECAST AND
ESTABLISHED PLANS TO IMPROVE
THOSE FORECASTS ADOPT A NEW
WATER SUPPLY FORECASTING MODEL
AND IMPLEMENT PROCEDURES THAT
ADDRESS THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE
CHANGE. AND THREE IMPLEMENT A
FORMAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES FOR
DOCUMENTING D W. R S OPERATIONAL
PLANS FOR THE STATE'S WATER
SUPPLY. THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
SO WATER RESOURCES IS ALSO
REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THE
RATIONALE FOR ITS OPERATING
PROCEDURES. AUDIT REQUESTS MADE
PERTAINS TO WATER YEAR 2021 1
SIGNIFICANT, IT'S SIGNIFICANT
MODELING ERRORS BY DWR LED TO
THE OVER RELEASE OF HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF ACRE FEET OF WATER
FROM CALIFORNIA RESERVOIRS.
BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER
WERE RELEASED INTO THE
SACRAMENTO SAN JOAQUIN DELTA AT
TIMES WHEN IT HAD NO POSITIVE
IMPACT TO HUMANS OR WILDLIFE.
THIS CRITICAL ERROR LED TO
ADVERSE OUTCOMES THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA AS A PREDICTED RUNOFF
FELT VASTLY SHORT OF
EXPECTATIONS DISADVANTAGE AND
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES, ALREADY
STRUGGLING WITH WATER SECURITY
FACED INCREASED IN UNNECESSARY
CHALLENGES DUE TO DWS R. D WRS
MISCALCULATION. AND WATER ON THE
MARKET SAW OVER 1000% INCREASE,
LIKE THE CITY OF KALINGA, FOR
EXAMPLE, WENT FROM PAYING ABOUT
, UM $300, AN ACRE FOOT OF WATER
IN 2019 TO NOW HAVING TO PAY
OVER $1000 AN ACRE FOOT VIDEO
WATER, SO IT CREATED, UM, A BILL
FOR THE CITY THAT COULD NOT
AFFORD TO MEET THE NECESSARY
NEEDS OF THE OF THE COMMUNITY.
UM AND THEY NEEDED TO, UM THEY
NEED TO PAY OVER A MILLION
DOLLARS FOR THAT. FOR THAT
ADDITIONAL WATER. IT IS CRITICAL
THAT WATER MODELING IS AS
PRECISE AS POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO
MEET THE DEMANDS OF WILDLIFE,
THE ENVIRONMENT AND CALIFORNIA'S
RESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE
RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITIES,
OVERBURDEN WITH ECONOMIC AND
RECENT AND RESOURCE HARDSHIPS.
SB 231 AIMS TO MODIFY DWR S
MODELS AND ENSURE WATER STAYS A
VITAL RESOURCE IN THE STATE FOR
YEARS TO COME. AND I HAVE A
WITNESS HERE WITH ME TODAY.

BUILDING OUR AGRICULTURE
INDUSTRY SUPPORTING OUR FAMILY
SUSTAINING OUR VERY EXISTENCE.
BUT THAT JOB BUT AS WE ARE TOO
AWARE OF WATER IS ALSO A
RESOURCE UNDER THREAT,
ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE ON THE
MARGINS OF SOCIETY. IT'S ABOUT
THE ABILITY TO PREDICT, MANAGE
AND IT REALLY DISTRIBUTE THE
PRECIOUS RESOURCES IS ESSENTIAL
. AND THERE'S THE REASON I
WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT SENATE
BILL 2 31. INABILITY 31 IS NOT A
CRITICISM, BUT RATHER AN
OPPORTUNITY. IT'S A BILL THAT
MEANS FOR FURTHER EMPOWER THE
DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES.
DWR WITH THE SET OF IMPORTANT
TOOLS THAT CAN AND HAS THE
DARKNESS AND ACCURACY OF WATER
MANAGEMENT IN CALIFORNIA. BY
ESTABLISHING AN ANNUAL PROCESS
TO EVALUATE AND IMPROVE WATER
SUPPLY FORECAST. THERE WERE
NEIGHBORHOOD DWR GENTLE,
PREPARED FOR FUTURE CHALLENGES
MORE ACCURATELY, PARTICULARLY
THOSE RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE.
IT STILL ISN'T ABOUT POINTING
FINGERS BUT ABOUT BUILDING A
FUTURE TOGETHER. IT'S ABOUT
PROVIDING OUR STATE'S WATER
STEWARDS WITH THE RESOURCES AND
TOOLS THEY NEED TO BETTER SERVE
ALL OF US. WE UNDERSTAND
DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES
DISCHARGED WITH THE MONUMENTAL
TASK MANAGING OUR STATE WATER
SUPPLY AMID AN ARRAY OF EVER
INVOLVING CHALLENGES. WITH THIS
CRAP INCHES OF WATER MANAGEMENT
OCCURRED. IT IS THE PEOPLE IN
DISADVANTAGED MUSIC MCFARLAND
BULLET MOST. YEP WE ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT EVERY CHALLENGE PROVIDES AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT.
THEN ABILITY. 31 IS PRECISELY
THAT IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY AS IT

SUPPLY AFTER THEY BEAT US,
ROEBUCK PLANNING AND RESPONSIBLE
AS RESPONSIBLE ACTIONS ON
FUNDAMENTAL IS JUST ENDEAVOR.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT LOOKING
BACKWARDS, STANDING BLACK FOR
PAST DIFFICULTIES, BUT ABOUT
LOOKING FORWARD AND FINDING WITH
PAPERS, SEGMENTS SYSTEM OR
RESILIENT AND BETTER EQUIPMENT
MANAGERS OF THE FUTURE. DIDN'T

THINK? THE AUTHOR? UM FOR ALL
HER HARD WORK IN THIS SPACE. I
REALLY DO APPRECIATE THIS. AND,
UH I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TOO LATE
TO BE ADDED AS AN AUTHOR, BUT I
WOULD LIKE TO BE OUT OF THE
AUDITORIUM. OF COURSE. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU AND I'LL JUST
REITERATE THE COMMENTS OF MY
COLLEAGUE AS YOU MENTIONED IN
YOUR OPENING, WE'VE HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE LONG.
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WATER IN
YOUR COMMUNITY, AND IT'S BEEN,
YOU KNOW. LEARNING ABOUT THE
MILLION PLUS PEOPLE IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY IN CALIFORNIA
THAT DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN
DRINKING WATER, AND I SAT WITH
THE TWO LI RIVER TRIBE JUST LAST
WEEK, AND THEY RUN OUT OF WATER
EVERY JULY. AND IT IS REAL IN
CALIFORNIA THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE
WITHOUT ACCESS TO CLEAN DRINKING
WATER. IT'S ALSO TO YOUR POINT.
THE WATER RATES ARE GOING UP,
AND FOR A LOT OF CALIFORNIANS
THAT IS GOING TO BE A HUGE
BURDEN. AND SO I REALLY
APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP. AND
I THINK THE AMOUNT THAT YOU CARE
FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS IN YOUR
COMMUNITY REALLY COMES THROUGH
IN THESE PIECES OF LEGISLATION.
SO WITH THAT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR
COLLEAGUES. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR MY VOTE. GREAT WE DO NOT
HAVE A QUORUM SO WE WILL ASK
PROMOTION. WHAT DO WE DO? THANK
YOU, SENATOR. AND I THINK
SENATOR ALLEN SAID HE WAS EN
ROUTE, SO HOPEFULLY HE WILL BE
HERE SOON.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE MORE
PUBLIC COMMENT? MADAM CHAIR WE
FINISHED THAT BILL. THE AUTHOR
IS GONE. OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I
THOUGHT. WE'RE HAVING. I'M SO
SORRY TO INTERRUPT, BUT WE'RE
HAVING JUST A LITTLE BIT OF AN
AUDIO FEED. IF YOU COULD JUST
TURN THE MICROPHONE DOWN JUST A
LITTLE BIT. IT'S COMING ACROSS
REALLY HOT ON FOR THE
PARTICIPANTS IN US. OKAY, THANKS
FOR THE FEEDBACK. THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
THANK YOU, SENATOR ALLEN FOR
COMING OVER. I KNOW EVERYONE IS
IN 16 PLACES RIGHT NOW JOURNEY
HERE. YES OKAY, SO WE ARE NOW
GOING TO HEAR US BE 3 89 BY
SENATOR ALLEN WHEN HE IS READY,
WE'LL GIVE HIM A MOMENT. WELL,
THANK YOU SO MUCH, MADAM CHAIR
AND MEMBERS. I'M PLEASED TO BE
PRESENTING SP 3 89, WHICH WILL
PROVIDE OUR WATER BOARD WITH THE
ABILITY TO VERIFY THE EXISTENCE
IN SCOPE OF CLAIMS. WATER
RIGHTS. LET ME LET ME JUST START
BY THINKING THE OPPOSITION. FOR
ALL THE FOLKS IN THE OPPOSITION
FOR THEIR DILIGENT ENGAGEMENT ON
THIS MEASURE. I'M OPTIMISTIC
THAT THE RECENT AMENDMENTS DONE
IN COLLABORATION WITH THEM
RESOLVE THEIR CONCERNS. SO I
KNOW I KNOW A NUMBER OF THEM ARE
GONNA BE HERE SO UM, AS YOU ALL
KNOW, CALIFORNIA. HAS A
COMPLICATED HISTORY WHEN IT
COMES TO WATER RIGHTS. THOSE WHO
CLAIM TO HOLD RIGHTS PRIOR TO
THE 1914 ESTABLISHMENT OF WHAT
IS NOW THE WATER BOARD. ARE
EXEMPTED FROM THE SAME SCRUTINY
GIVEN TO THEIR POST 1914
COUNTERPARTS AND AS THE STATE
FACES INCREASED DROUGHT AND
WATER SHORTAGES, IT'S BECOME
INCREASINGLY MORE CHALLENGING
FOR THE BOARD THAT WE HAVE
TASKED WITH. MANAGING OVERSEEING
OUR WATER SYSTEM. UH IT'S BECOME
MORE CHALLENGING FOR THEM TO
APPROVE NEW DIVERSION
APPLICATIONS OR TO LIMIT ORDERS
FOR REDUCED USAGE, GIVEN THEIR
NEED. TO ACCOUNT FOR DIVERSIONS
THAT THEY LACK SUFFICIENT
INFORMATION ABOUT SO WE SEEK TO
PROVIDE THE BOARD WITH THE
ABILITY TO ASK FOR PROOF. OF
THESE RIGHTS AND RELEVANT
INFORMATION, AND WITH THAT
ABILITY, THE BOARD WILL BE ABLE
TO MAKE MORE INFORMED DECISIONS
WHICH WILL BENEFIT ALL HOLDERS
IN THE SYSTEM, REGARDLESS OF
THEIR KIND OF RIGHT. SO THIS
BILL IS PRIMARILY ABOUT
INFORMATION GATHERING. UM IT IS
TRUE THAT INFORMATION GATHERED
COULD RESULT IN ENFORCEMENT.
SHOULD IT BE SHOWN THAT WATER
HAS BEEN OR IS BEING DIVERTED
UNLAWFULLY? BUT THE BILL DOESN'T
CREATE ANY NEW MECHANISM. ANY
ENFORCEMENT WOULD HAVE TO BE
FACILITATED THROUGH EXISTING
TOOLS ALREADY GRANTED TO THE
BOARD. SO WE'RE WE'RE YOU KNOW,
PLEASED WITH THE PROGRESS WE'VE
MADE SO FAR IN OUR NEGOTIATIONS.
I DO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO
MY STAFF FOR DYLAN HAS BEEN
WORKING REALLY HARD ON TRYING TO
ADDRESS MANY OF THE ISSUES THAT
HAVE BEEN RAISED WITH THE
OPPOSITION. I THINK WE'RE VERY
CLOSE TO A FINAL RESOLUTION, BUT
HERE TO TESTIFY AND SUPPORTER
MATTHEW BAKER, WHO'S POLICY
DIRECTOR FOR THE PLANNING
CONSERVATION LEAGUE, AND ALSO
JENNIFER HARDER IS THE WATER LAW
PROFESSOR. HERE AT MAKE GEORGE
LAW SCHOOL. THANK YOU TWO
MINUTES EACH WHEN YOU GUYS ARE
READY. GOOD MORNING CHAIR.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S THANK YOU,
SENATOR MATTHEW BAKER, PLENTY
OF, UM, HEALTHY DIRECTOR FOR
PLANNING CONSERVATION LEAGUE
SPONSOR OF THE BILL. UM THAT
SENATOR SAID THIS IS SIMPLY
INTENDED TO PROVIDE A TOOL FOR
THE BOARD TO BETTER UNDERSTAND
AND MANAGE THE SYSTEM RELIABLY,
MORE RELIABLY FOR ALL USERS.
THERE ARE A MILLION PEOPLE IN
CALIFORNIA WITHOUT ACCESS TO
SAFE DRINKING WATER, ENTIRE
FISHERIES ON THE VERGE OF
EXTINCTION, VAST AREAS OF
AGRICULTURE THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT
DRY OVER MUCH OF THE LAST TWO
DECADES. WE HAVE TO DO BETTER,
AND WE HAVE TO DO BETTER WITH
LESS 40% OF RIGHT HOLDERS. AND
CALIFORNIA AND 35% OF DIVERSIONS
BY VOLUME ARE HELD IN PRE 1914
RIGHTS, WHICH AFTER OVER 100
YEARS STILL CONTINUE TO BE
INADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED AND NOT
ADEQUATELY UNDERSTOOD. GIVEN THE
BOARD THE POWER TO VERIFY THE
VALIDITY OF THESE RIGHTS AND
THEIR SCOPE. IS NOT PUNITIVE. AS
THE SENATOR SAID IT IS ABOUT
INFORMATION GATHERING AND JUST
COMMON SENSE TO BE ABLE TO GIVE
THE BOARD THIS AUTHORITY TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
RELIABLY WE NEED THAT ACCOUNTING
AS WE HAVE INCREASED TIMES OF
WATER SUPPLY SCARCITY. THERE
WERE A LOT OF CONCERNS FROM FROM
SOME PARTIES IN THE BEGINNING
WHEN WE STARTED WITH THIS BILL.
AND OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST
MONTH SINCE WE PASSED THE SENATE
, WE HAVE WORKED DILIGENTLY WITH
OPPOSITION. WE REALLY APPRECIATE
THE WORK OF THE SENATOR AND HIS
STAFF HAVE DONE AND REACHING OUT
OF THE OPPOSITION. WE APPRECIATE
APPRECIATE THE WORK AND EFFORT
OF AUCKLAND, CMU AND OTHER
PARTIES THAT CAME TO THE TABLE
TO GET TO THE LANGUAGE THAT WE
HAVE NOW AND WE REALLY THINK
THAT WE HAVE A BETTER A BETTER
BILL FOR IT. SO WE URGE YOUR
SUPPORT TODAY. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR
AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS. MY NAME
IS JENNIFER HARDER. I'M A WATER
LAW PROFESSOR MCGEORGE SCHOOL OF
LAW AND WATER RIGHTS ATTORNEY
AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT
OF SB 3 89. I WANT TO THANK THE
SENATOR AND HIS STAFF AND THE
PLANNING AND CONSERVATION LEAGUE
FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK. AS THE
SENATOR INDICATED. SP 3 89 WILL
ALLOW THE WATER BOARD TO ASSESS
WHETHER WATER RIGHT HOLDERS
DIVERTING WATER LAWFULLY. SO AND
EXPLAIN THAT FOR A MOMENT, WATER
RIGHT IS DEFINED BY SPECIFIC
ELEMENTS. FOR EXAMPLE,
INAPPROPRIATE OF RIGHT IS
LIMITED TO A SPECIFIC QUANTITY
OF WATER THAT MAY BE DIVERTED
FROM A PARTICULAR RIVER CREEK
DURING A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME
CALLED A SEASON OF DIVERSION,
RIGHT PRAIRIE IN RIGHT IS
LIMITED TO THE RIGHT PERIOD LAND
IN THE RIPARIAN WATERSHED. SO
ANY WATER RIGHT HOLDER WHO USES
WATER INCONSISTENTLY WITH THESE
AND OTHER ELEMENTS THAT DEFINE
THEIR PROPERTY. INTEREST IN
WATER ARE ENGAGING IN
UNAUTHORIZED DIVERSION, WHICH IS
UNLAWFUL AND ONLY TWO ENTITIES
ARE IN A POSITION TO CORRECT
SUCH UNLAWFUL USE THE COURTS AND
THE STATE WATER BOARD. HOWEVER
ABSENT STATE WATER BOARD REQUEST
, JUDICIAL ENFORCEMENT IS RARE
BECAUSE IT DEPENDS ON THIRD
PARTIES AND THE LEGAL TOOLS
AVAILABLE TO THE BOARD DO NOT
CLEARLY STATE THAT THE BOARD'S
AUTHORITY TO INVESTIGATE
INCLUDES PRE 14 AND RIPARIAN
RIGHTS. THIS CREATES LEGAL
UNCERTAINTY, WHICH IS THE CORE
REASON WHY UNLAWFUL USE GOES
UNADDRESSED. SO SP 3 89. FIXES
THIS PROBLEM SENSIBLY BY MAKING
IT CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT THE BOARD
MAY INVESTIGATE THOSE PRE
FOURTEENS AND REPAIR IAN'S, AND
IF THE BOARD IDENTIFIES A
PROBLEM, AS THE SENATOR
INDICATED IT DIRECTS THE BOARD
TO USE ITS NORMAL ENFORCEMENT
PROCEDURES, WHICH PROVIDE DUE
PROCESS VIA NOTICE HEARING IN
JUDICIAL APPEAL. THE KEY TO SP 3
89 IS THAT IT WILL ENSURE THAN
ANY SUBSEQUENT COURT CHALLENGE.
THE FOCUS OF THAT JUDICIAL
HEARING WILL BE ON WHETHER THE
BOARD PROPERLY CONCLUDED THAT
THE WATER RIGHT HOLDER VIOLATED
THE LAW AND NOT WHETHER THE
BOARD HAD THE AUTHORITY TO
INVESTIGATE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
SO WE'VE SPENT DECADES AND
DECADES ARGUING OVER THAT
AUTHORITY QUESTION. THIS WASTES
THE STATE RESOURCES. LET'S FOCUS
ON THE ACTUAL PROBLEM OF HOW
WATER USERS ARE USING WATER AND
ENSURING THAT EVERYONE COMPLIES
WITH THE LAW PROTECTS LAWFUL
WATER RIGHT HOLDERS AS WELL AS
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. AND MADAM CHAIR WE
HAVE GONE CLEARED THE CUE. THANK
YOU. UM, I WILL BRING IT BACK TO
THE DIOCESE QUESTIONS, COMMENTS.
SEEING. NO OH, YES, MR BENNETT.
ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL, BILL. I
THINK SO. I REALLY APPRECIATE
THE AUTHOR COMING FORWARD. THIS
AND THE SPONSORS OF THE BILL. I
THINK IT DEFIES LOGIC TO SORT
OF, SAY PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT AND
THEY SHOULD ASK PEOPLE TO
CLARIFY THOSE RIGHTS FOR THE
BENEFIT OF EVERYBODY THAT THE
PEOPLE THAT DO HAVE THE RIGHTS
AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
ARE NOT SORT OF BEING
DISADVANTAGED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE
INAPPROPRIATELY CLAIMING THOSE
RIGHTS, SO I REALLY WANT TO
CONGRATULATE THE AUTHOR FOR
MOVING THIS. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU, ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S AND I'LL
SAY I WAS SITTING AS I MENTIONED
EARLIER. I WAS SITTING WITH SOME
NATIVE CALIFORNIANS LAST WEEK IN
MY OFFICE AND I LOOKED AROUND
AND EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM WAS
EITHER A NATIVE. PERSON OR A
WOMAN AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT
PRE 1914 RIGHTS. AND I SAID NOT
ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM WOULD HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE
RIGHTS BECAUSE WE WEREN'T NONE
OF US WERE ABLE TO BE
ACKNOWLEDGED AS PEOPLE OR
PROPERTY OWNERS IN 1914, AND SO
I THINK THAT WE NEED TO
CONSTANTLY REMEMBER. THAT'S THE
PARADIGM WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
HERE, AND OBVIOUSLY NO ONE IS
TRYING TO BLOW UP THE WATER
RIGHTS SYSTEM. BUT IT IS REALLY
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S OUT THERE HOW
WE USE IT AND HOW WE MANAGE IT,
WHICH IS ALL YOU'RE TRYING TO
DO, SO I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN AN
INCREDIBLY HARD BUILT TO MOVE
FORWARD. I WANT TO COMMEND YOU
FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND GETTING,
UM, THE TWEENERS TO WHERE THEY
ARE TODAY. I THINK IT'S ABOUT
TIME THEY ACTUALLY SAY THEY'RE
REMOVING THEIR OPPOSITIONS SINCE
IT'S BEEN SO LONG, BUT THAT'S
COMING. I ASSUME, UM SO I
APPRECIATE YOU GETTING THERE
AND, UM, WITH THAT. WE DON'T
HAVE A QUORUM, BUT WE DO WE HAVE
A QUORUM. WE'RE GONNA CALL THE
ROLL. MISS FREEMAN WALKED IN.

YOU ARE READY WITHOUT. AH GOOD
MORNING, MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS
. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE
OPPORTUNITY TODAY TO PRESENT
SENATE BILL FOR 70. I WANT TO
START BY ACCEPTING THE
AMENDMENTS OF THE COMMITTEE AND
TO THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFF AND
CHAIR FOR ALL THEIR HELP IN
GETTING US TO A GREAT PLACE ON
THIS BILL, AS WE'RE ALL TOO
AWARE THE RISK OF WILDFIRE IS
TOP OF MIND FOR MANY
CALIFORNIANS AS WE RAPIDLY
APPROACH FIRE SEASON, IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR THE STATE TO TAKE
STEPS TO ENACT POLICIES THAT
ASSIST LOCAL AGENCIES TO
MITIGATE THIS FIRE RISK.
CURRENTLY CALIFORNIA HAS A HOST
OF PROGRAMS THAT SEEK TO
UNDERWRITE FUELS MANAGEMENT TO
AVOID LARGE SCALE FIRES. BUT
THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE
MANAGEMENT IS NOT ENOUGH. WITH
THE NECESSARY FIRE SUPPRESSION
INFRASTRUCTURE, SUCH AS CORRECT
PIPING SIZE WATER MAINS AND A
NUMBER OF FIRE HYDRANTS TO CARRY
ADEQUATE WATER FLOW. THE
CHRISTMAS VALLEY ADMIRES
COMMUNITIES IN EL DORADO COUNTY
COUNTY WERE ABLE TO CONTAIN THE
COW DOOR FIRE BLAZE AT THE
PERIMETER OF THE COMMUNITY, AND
NOT A SINGLE HOME OR LIFE WAS
LOST. IN FACT, THE ENTIRE
COMMUNITY OF CHRISTMAS VALLEY
WAS SAVED. WE NEED MORE OF THESE
STORIES WHERE COMMUNITIES
PERSEVERE THROUGH ONE OF
NATURE'S MOST DANGEROUS EXTREME
WEATHER EVENTS. SENATE BILL 4 70
IS VERY MODEST IN ITS APPROACH
AS IT SEEKS TO PIGGYBACK ON AN
EXISTING PROGRAM THAT EXPANDS IT
TO ALLOW FOR GRANT ELIGIBILITY
FOR THE UPSIZING OF UNDERGROUND
INFRASTRUCTURE AND HYDRANT
INSTALLATIONS TO KEEP PACE WITH
RISK. TODAY I HAVE KIM BOYD WITH
THE TAHOE CITY PUBLIC UTILITIES
DISTRICT TO TESTIFY AND SUPPORT
AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT
MAY ARISE. SHE WILL BE CALLING
IN TODAY. THANK YOU, SENATOR.
MODERATOR CAN YOU GET US MISS

SKINNY KIND OF. GOOD MORNING.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME HERE TO

SURE THANK YOU, MAN. USUALLY

ENOUGH. THAT'S A NEW ONE FOR ME,
ALL RIGHT? SHIN BY MS FRIEDMAN
AND SECOND BY DR WEBBER.
ALRIGHT, LET ME SEE IF I CAN
MOVE THROUGH THIS QUICKLY, SO I
APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING HERE.
THANK YOU. I KNOW WE'RE GETTING
TO THE END OF SESSION AND, UH
AND THIS COMMITTEE HAS WORKED
REALLY HARD AND I'M REALLY PROUD
TO BE HERE TODAY. I'M HERE TO
PRESENT SB 659, WHICH WILL ALLOW
THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES TO ESTABLISH A TARGET
FOR GROUNDWATER RECHARGE
CAPACITY, AND I AM ACCEPTING
THIS COMMITTEE'S AMENDMENTS. THE
GOAL WILL INCLUDE BEST PRACTICES
IDENTIFIED BY THE DEPARTMENT TO
PROTECT SAFE DRINKING WATER AND
HIGH LEVEL OF WATER QUALITY IS
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT SP 659
DOES NOT WAIVE ANY ENVIRONMENTAL
LAWS, ESPECIALLY GIVEN MY LAST
APPEARANCE HERE. OKAY ALL RIGHT,
EVERYBODY, THAT'S A NERD JOKE.
OKAY, UM YEAH. YEAH, YOU GOT IT.
YOU GOT IT. THAT'S GOOD. THAT
WAS GOOD ENOUGH AS AN AUDIENCE
OF ONE. ALRIGHT THIS RIGHT NOW
WE JUST NEED SOME GOAL SETTING.
AND THE BOTTOM LINE TO MY NOTES
IS THAT I'M BRINGING FORWARD A
GROUNDWATER GOAL WITHOUT
IDENTIFYING WINNERS AND LOSERS
EARLY ON, BECAUSE WE NEED MORE
SUPPLY BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING
ELSE. SACRAMENTO REGION HAS DONE
A GREAT JOB OF THIS OVER THE
LAST 20 YEARS. AND IT'S REALLY
ALLOWED THE SACRAMENTO AREA TO
TRANSFER WATER TO DRIER PARTS OF
THE STATE, WHICH IS HELPED
EVERYONE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. YOU ALREADY KNOW
THAT THE AQUIFERS IN CALIFORNIA
HAVE THE STORAGE CAPACITY. UM
THE SURFACE RESERVOIRS IN
STORAGE AND STILL HAVE MORE
STORAGE CAPACITY THAN THE
UNDERGROUND STORAGE. SO WHAT WE
NEED TO DO IS ADAPT SO THAT WE
DON'T LOSE THE WATER DURING
SNOWPACK IN THE INCREASED FLOOD
RISKS, WHICH IS WHAT THIS WILL
ALLOW US TO DO BY STORING MORE
GROUNDWATER, THE MODEL CAN BE
SCALED UP TO INCREASE
GROUNDWATER LEVELS ACROSS THE
ENTIRE STATE, WHICH IS WHAT
WE'RE PROPOSING HERE, AND I KNOW
THIS COMMITTEE. MAYBE MORE THAN
ANY OTHER KNOWS THAT HAVING
THOSE KINDS OF RESOURCES ALLOW
US TO NOT HAVE TO TOUCH OUR
LAKES AND RIVERS AS MUCH WHICH
THEN PROTECTS THE ECOSYSTEMS
THAT WE ALL CARE SO DEEPLY
ABOUT. IN OUR ENVIRONMENT HERE.
SO SP 659 IS IN ALL OF THE ABOVE
STRATEGY IT BUILDS ON THE
SUCCESS OF THIS LEGISLATURES
WORK OVER THE PAST MANY YEARS TO
ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE AND WATER
SUPPLY ISSUES. AND I ASK FOR
YOUR I VOTE. I DO HAVE A WITNESS
WITH ME. THIS IS RYAN. OH
JACKIE. HE'S FROM THE REGIONAL
WATER AUTHORITY. SMART GUY KNOWS
A LOT ABOUT WATER AND HAPPY TO
HAVE HIM WITH ME. THANK YOU. AND
WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE IN
PERSON. THAT SEEMS TO BE WORKING
BETTER. THANK YOU. YEAH IN
PERSON IS DEFINITELY BETTER. UM
AS THE SENATOR, SAID RHINO JACK
IN WITH THE REGIONAL WATER
AUTHORITY. I WILL NOT USE MY
FOUR MINUTES WILL BE VERY FAST.
UM, BUT I DO WANT TO SAY A
COUPLE OF THINGS ARE W. A IS
COMPRISED OF 22 DRINKING WATER
SUPPLIERS IN THE GREATER
SACRAMENTO AREA SERVING 2
MILLION PEOPLE. OUR MISSION IS
TO ACHIEVE THE HUMAN RIGHT TO
WATER FOR THOSE 2 MILLION PEOPLE
ARE PATH FORWARD HAS BEEN
DEFINED. BY CLIMATE CHANGE IN
ACHIEVING THAT CALL AND WHAT WE
HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST 20 YEARS
IS THAT IF WE CAPTURE MORE WATER
WHEN IT'S WET AND PUT IT IN OUR
GROUNDWATER BASIN, THEN IT'S
THERE FOR US WHEN TIMES ARE DRY
, AND IT'S NOT ONLY THERE FOR US
BEING PEOPLE, BUT IT'S ALSO
THERE FOR OUR ENVIRONMENTAL
STEWARDSHIP. SO BUT WHAT WE'VE
DONE HERE WHILE IT'S A GREAT
SUCCESS, WE'VE ONLY SCRATCHED
THE SURFACE OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE
. AND WHEN WE TAKE A STEP BACK
AND LOOK STATEWIDE, WE KNOW THAT
THIS CAN CANON IS HAPPENING UP
AND DOWN THE STATE AND IT CAN
HAPPEN AT A TREMENDOUS SCALE
RIGHT. SO AS THE SENATOR
MENTIONED, THERE'S UH DWR. RIGHT
ESTIMATES THAT THERE'S 20 TIMES
THE STORAGE CAPACITY IN OUR
GROUNDWATER BASINS AS THERE IS
IN OUR SURFACE WATER, UM,
RESERVOIRS COMBINED. AND NOT
ONLY THAT IT'S THE LOWEST COST
OPTION RELATIVE TO MANY OTHER
CHOICES. RIGHT SO HERE IN OUR
REGION, IT'S ABOUT $300, AN ACRE
FOOT IT'S DIFFERENT PRICES OTHER
IN IN OTHER PLACES, BUT IT IS AN
EXTREMELY COST EFFECTIVE OPTIONS
SO IT CAN BE TREMENDOUSLY SCALED
UP. IT IS LOW COST. IT HELPS US
ACTUALLY MANAGED THE WATER IN
THE WAY THAT THE WATER WOULD
HAVE FLOWN FLOWED IF WE HAD NOT
PUT SO MUCH INFRASTRUCTURE IN
PLACE, SO IT'S REALLY A TRIPLE
BOTTOM LINE. NGUYEN RIGHT. IT'S
WHAT WE NEED TO BE DOING. AND
WHAT 659 DOES IS SAY, LET'S
DEVELOP A PLAN TO DO ALL OF
THAT, AS THE SENATOR SAID, IT'S
NOT PICKING WINNERS AND LOSERS.
AND SO WE'RE NOT SAYING THIS IS
HOW WE ARE GOING TO ACHIEVE ALL
THOSE GOOD THINGS. IT'S SAYING
DWR. GO TELL US HOW WE ACHIEVE
ALL THOSE GOOD THINGS AND THEN
YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY WE CAN MOVE
PAST THE CONTENTIOUS ISSUES THAT
YOU GUYS ALL FACE ON A REGULAR
BASIS. UM, WHEN WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT WATER, BECAUSE WE'RE WHAT
WE NEED TO DO IS AGAIN CAPTURE
MORE WATER WHEN IT'S WET, SO
IT'S THERE FOR ALL OF US WHEN
IT'S DRY, RIGHT? WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT EXPANDING OUR ABILITY TO
MANAGE WATER EFFECTIVELY AND I
WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT.
APPRECIATE, UM THAT TIME IN YOUR
INDULGENCE. THANK YOU ANY

GREAT BRINGING IT BACK TO THE
DIET. QUESTIONS. COMMENTS. YEAH.
MICHELLE YEOH. THIS IS ONE OF
THE THANK THE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD LOOK WOULD
LOVE TO BE ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR.
I THINK THIS IS A REALLY
IMPORTANT BILL AND A REALLY
IMPORTANT PROCESS FOR US TO
UNDERTAKE AS A STATE. UM YOU
KNOW, I REPRESENT THE SAN
FERNANDO VALLEY IN THE SANTA
CLARITA VALLEY, BOTH OF WHICH
HAVE INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR
US TO DO, UM, YOU KNOW, WATER
CAPTURE UNDERGROUND STORAGE IN
THE SYSTEMS THERE AND SO UM,
LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT THIS
BRINGS AND THE RESULTS AND WHAT
WE CAN DO IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
, WHERE WE ESPECIALLY NEED TO
MAKE SURE WE'RE CAPTURING EVERY
DROP OF WATER THAT WE CAN GET
OUR HANDS ON. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY WELL, I
ALSO WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR
FOR THIS BILL. I THINK YOU KNOW
WHEN I UM, TOOK OVER HIS CHAIR
OF THIS COMMITTEE AND STARTED MY
BRIEFINGS AND WAS TOLD WELL,
THERE'LL BE NO MORE SNOW IN THE
SIERRAS IN 25 YEARS, BUT THE
GOOD NEWS IS THEY WILL BE
FLOODING, AND I SAID, I DON'T
KNOW THAT I FEEL LIKE THAT'S
GOOD NEWS. BUT WE'RE IN SUCH
DIRE STRAITS THAT THAT WAS THE
GOOD NEWS. AND I THINK THAT WHAT
WE SAW THIS YEAR WAS EXACTLY
WHAT THE SCIENTISTS WERE TELLING
US IS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE YEARS
OF DROUGHT. AND THEN YEARS OF
ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS, AND IT IS
INCUMBENT UPON US DURING THOSE
YEARS OF PLENTY LIKE WE HAD THIS
YEAR THAT WE TAKE EVERY DROP AND
WE STORE IT AND I APPRECIATE IT.
UM RYAN, THE POINT YOU MADE
ABOUT THAT WE HAVE THIS
UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE THAT
MOTHER NATURE BUILT US RIGHT,
AND I THINK IT'S AMAZING FOR
THOSE WHO HAVEN'T HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY. LAWRENCE BERKELEY
LAB HAS DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB
OF MAPPING THAT AND LOOKING AT
IT FROM THE AIR AND UP AND DOWN
THE STATE. I KNOW. YOU KNOW
YOU'RE UNDERGROUND. WELL BUT YOU
KNOW, AND IT IS. THERE'S THIS
BEAUTIFUL UNDERGROUND STORAGE
THAT WE CAN USE AND OUR ABILITY
TO DO THAT. AND TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE DOING THAT EFFICIENTLY AND
EFFECTIVELY, I THINK IS REALLY
CRITICAL TO THE FUTURE OF
CALIFORNIA'S WATER RESOURCES.
AND SO I WANT TO THANK YOU AND
APPRECIATE YOUR CONTINUED FOCUS
ON MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT OF
THE PROCESS AND THE WATER RIGHT.
YOU DON'T WANT TO RECHARGE
EVERYWHERE. THERE'S SOME LAND
WHERE THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE
PROBLEMATIC AND WOULD POLLUTE
THE UNDERGROUND WATER. SO WE'VE
GOT TO DO IT IN A WAY THAT KEEPS
THE WATER CLEAN, BUT MAXIMIZES
OUR STORAGE CAPACITY. AND I
THINK THIS BILL WILL GET US
THERE WITH THAT. WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE? I WOULD JUST SAY TO
YOU, YOU SIT ON THIS COMMITTEE,
SO YOU ALREADY KNOW IT'S ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE TO DO A WATER BILL
WITHOUT BEING REALLY
CONTROVERSIAL. SO IT'S A BIG
DEAL TO HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT
GROUPS AND INDUSTRIES LINE UP
AND SAY WE LIKE THIS STRATEGY
AND PATHWAY FORWARD. I LOVE THIS
BILL. FOR THAT REASON, IT'S
REALLY THE VISION OF OUR W A.
AND IT'S ACTUALLY BUILT OFF OF
20 YEARS OF HARD WORK IN THE
SACRAMENTO REGION LONG BEFORE I
WAS EVER INVOLVED PEOPLE WHO
SAID IF WE STORE MORE WATER, WE
CAN HAVE MORE WATER TO SHARE
WHICH I LOVE WHAT YOU SAID
ASSEMBLYWOMAN, BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT IT'S ABOUT IN CALIFORNIA.
THAT'S WHAT THE LEGISLATURE IS
ABOUT. IT'S ABOUT A WHOLE BIG,
DIVERSE STATE WITH 40 MILLION
PEOPLE. AND HOW WE CAN BUILD
SOME INFRASTRUCTURE IN CERTAIN
PLACES THAT WILL HELP EVERYONE.
SO I THINK THIS IS A GOOD BILL,
TOO. AND I'M GLAD YOU DO AS
WELL. WITH THAT? DO WE HAVE
EMOTION? EMOTION IN A SECOND
WILL CALL THE ROLL. SB 6 59
MOTION IS DUE PASS AS AMENDED TO
APPROPRIATIONS BARRICADE. HANAI
BAUER-KAHAN, AYE MATHIS, ELONIS
BENNETT. BENNETT I DALI DALI. I
DAVIES DAVIES. I'VE FRIEDMAN
FRIEDMAN I HEART CHOLERA,
PELLERIN. HILLARY AND I
SHOULD'VE VÚI VILLE VALLAPUDUA
AWARD. WEBER. WEBER. AYE. THANK
YOU. NO. THAT HAS A VOTES
ITSELF, BUT WE WILL LEAVE THE
ROLE OPEN FOR ABSENT MEMBERS.
SENATOR DOLLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PATIENCE. SECOND THE MOTION BY
MR VICE CHAIR MATHIS, WHO SNUCK
IN TO MAKE THE MOTION AND
SENATOR DAVIES SECONDS. GOOD
MORNING. THAT'S A GOOD START AND
MEMBERS. UM FIRST I WANT TO JUST
TAKE A BRIEF MOMENT TO EXPLAIN
THE SITUATION. WE HAVE TRIED TO
DO A STATEWIDE BILL LAST YEAR
AND IT WASN'T SUCCESSFUL, SO I
NARROWED IT DOWN TO BASICALLY
SISKIYOU COUNTY BILL. SO WHAT WE
HAVE IS SPAWNING SALMON IN OUR
CREEKS UP THEIR WILD AND WE HAVE
IRRIGATORS WHO ARE WILLING TO
ACTUALLY GIVE AWAY THEIR WATER
RIGHTS FOR FLOWS IN OUR STREAMS
. UM, BUT AT THE SAME TIME WHEN
THEY DIVERT, UM, THERE THEY
DON'T GET THE WATER TO THEIR TO
THEIR FARMS. WE HAVE THEFT. WE
HAVE LEAKAGE. AND QUITE FRANKLY,
ONE OF THE OLDEST DITCHES IN
CALIFORNIA THAT SO WHAT THIS
BILL DOES IS BASICALLY, UM,
KEEPS THE MARIJUANA GROWERS FROM
DRIVING DOWN THE COUNTY ROAD,
PUTTING THEIR, UH WATER TRUCKS
AND SUCKING OUT WATER OUT OF THE
DITCHES AND LEAKAGE. THIS BILL
ALLOWS US TO PUT THE PART OF THE
WATER IN THE PIPES SO THAT WE
CAN ACTUALLY DELIVER THE 70% OF
WATER. UM THAT'S REMAINING TO
THE WATER RIGHT HOLDERS TO THEIR
FARMS. SO THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT
THIS BILL DOES. I WILL ACCEPT
THE AMENDMENTS THAT THE CHAIR
HAS OFFERED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
DON'T DAMAGE FOLKS WHILE WE'RE
PUTTING IN THIS PIPE. AND THAT'S
REALLY WHAT THE BILL DOES, AND I
WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I
VOTE. THANK YOU, SENATOR. DO YOU
HAVE ANY WITNESSES HERE IN
SUPPORT? I DON'T THINK I HAVE A
PRIMARY WITNESS NOW. PRIMARY
WITNESS IT WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE
IT ACTUALLY HAD ONE OF THE DITCH
OWNERS ARE ALL RIGHT HOLDERS
THERE SO SORRY. I KNOW YOU ARE A
GREAT PRIMARY WITNESS, SENATOR,
UM ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT? DO YOU HAVE ANY
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION? SEEING
NONE. LET'S TAKE IT TO THE PHONE
LINES. MODERATOR ANY SUPPORTER
OPPOSITION OF SB 836. THANK YOU,
MADAM SHERIFF. YOUR SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION TO SB 836 PRESSED ONE
FILED BY 00 THIS TIME. AND MADAM
CHAIR. NOBODY IS QUEUING UP.
GREAT THANK YOU. BRING IT BACK
TO THE DIESS. YES FRIEDMAN. HI
SENATOR. THIS IS AN INTERESTING
BILL, AND IT REMINDS ME A LITTLE
BIT OF BACK WHEN I WAS IN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE WOULD
COMPLAIN ABOUT THINGS THEIR
NEIGHBORS WERE DOING, OR UM TALK
ABOUT WHO'S WHO HAD TO FIX WHAT
OR WHO'S EASEMENT WENT UNDER
WHOSE PROPERTY SO I'M JUST
CURIOUS. SO IF SOMEONE UNDER
YOUR BILL WOULD GO ON SOMEBODY
ELSE'S PROPERTY AND CAUSED
DAMAGE OR BE OR BE TRESPASSING,
LEGITIMATELY TRESPASSING. AND
HOW WOULD YOU RESOLVE ALL OF
THAT WITH THIS? YOU KNOW IF
SOMEONE SAYS, HEY, THEY'RE JUST
COMING IN EVERY DAY. YOU KNOW
THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO BE A
PAIN. OR THEY CAME ON AND THEY
DESTROYED MY GATE OR MY FENCE. I
MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS COULD
OPEN UP A LOT MORE OF THOSE
CONFLICTS AND JUST SAYING YOU
GOT YOUR PROPERTY, YOUR
PROPERTY. YOU WANT TO GO ON
THEIR PROPERTY. YOU HAVE TO GET
PERMISSION. THAT'S IT. FIRST OF
ALL, THANK YOU FOR THAT
QUESTION, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S
SOMETHING THAT WE'VE TRIED TO
ADDRESS SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS.
FIRST OFF, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
GO ON THEIR PROPERTY AND THEY
HAVE A RIGHT TO GO ONLY DOWN.
THE CANAL WHERE THE DITCHES AT
THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GO ACROSS
ANY OTHER PART OF THE PROPERTY,
WHICH THEY HAVE THAT RIGHT, SO
THEY ARE GOING TO GO DOWN THE
CONDUIT WHERE THEY'RE DITCHES TO
ACTUALLY PROPERTY, THE OTHER
PEOPLE'S PROPERTY. WELL, IT'S
THROUGH THEIR PROPERTY, BUT IT'S
NOT. YOU HAVE TO STAY ON THAT
PARCEL THAT WHERE THE DITCH
ACTUALLY AS YOU CAN'T CROSS THE
PROPERTY. SO IF SO, LET'S SAY
YOU'RE THE THIRD. THE PROPERTY
OWNER DOWN THE DITCH FROM WHERE
THE DITCH STARTS. YOU CAN'T JUST
CUT ACROSS THEIR PROPERTY AND GO
TO THE TO THE DITCH. YOU HAVE TO
GO DOWN THE EASEMENT OF THE
DITCH. SO THE DITCH HAS AN
EASEMENT ON BOTH SIDES THAT'S
PUBLIC PUBLIC PUBLICLY
ACCESSIBLE NOW. NO IT'S ONLY
ACCESSIBLE BY THE PEOPLE WHO
HAVE THE WATER RIGHT FOR ALL OF
THOSE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE
WATER RIGHTS. IT'S ALREADY
PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE FOR THEM. SO
IF IT'S ALREADY PUBLICLY
ACCESSIBLE, WHAT WHAT DOES THIS
CHANGE? WE HAVE A BILL. BECAUSE
THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT MODERATOR
IF YOU COULD MEET YOURSELF
FARMERS, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE THINK
OF FARMERS. WE THINK MODERATOR.
I'M HEARING YOU TALK ABOUT
FARMERS, SO IF YOU COULD JUST
TURN YOURSELF OFF FIREWORKS. YOU
KNOW WHAT I MEAN? HMM SO THE LAW
THE REASON WE NEED TO CALL THEM
FARMERS CAN TURN IT OFF. WE'RE
NOT TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
GUYS. GROWING. FOOD RIGHT
MODERATOR. I NEED YOU TO STOP
TALKING OR TURN YOURSELF OFF
NUMBER ONE CASH CROP MODERATOR.
IT'S BEGINNING WORSE HAS
HAPPENED YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY
AND. SO BASICALLY, THE REASON WE
ARE DOING THE BILL IS IN
CALIFORNIA. THE LAW DOESN'T
ALLOW YOU TO PUT IT IN A CONDUIT
ALLOWS YOU TO FIX THE DITCH THE
WAY IT IS, BUT DOESN'T ALLOW YOU
TO PUT IN CONDUIT. THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE DELIVER THE WATER
THAT'S ACTUALLY BEING DIVERTED
AT THE HEAD OF THE DITCH TO THE
PEOPLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT, AT
THE END OF THE DITCH. WE
WOULDN'T NEED A BILL. WE HAVE
ACCESS. IT'S A MATTER OF PUTTING
IT INTO A CONDUIT. A PIPE. OKAY,
UM SO WHAT? EVERYBODY HAVE TO
AGREE TO PUTTING IT IN THE PIPE
LIKE IF THERE'S A REASON MAYBE
WHY THE PERSON WHO'S GOT THE
CANAL RUNNING ACROSS THEIR
PROPERTY. IS THERE A REASON WHY
THEY WOULD NOT WANT THAT TO
HAPPEN? I MEAN, WELL, THERE WAS
THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE
BILL. WE HAD SOME OPPOSITION
FROM IT TURNED INTO A LOT, BUT
NO. THE PEOPLE ON THIS DITCH
WANT TO BE ABLE TO PUT IT IN A
PIPE. BUT THE LAW DOESN'T LIKE
CALIFORNIA DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO
PUT IT INTO A CONDUIT. IT ALLOWS
YOU TO GO IN AND FIX IT ALLOWS
YOU TO PUT UH UM CONCRETE, BUT
IT DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO ACTUALLY
PUT IT IN A PIPE. I DON'T KNOW.
THEY DO IT IN COLORADO. THEY DO
IT A LOT OF OTHER STATES AND I
TRIED TO DO A STATEWIDE BILL TO
ALLOW THIS SO WE COULD DO WATER
CONSERVATION, BUT WE GOT HUNG
UP. AND SO WE NARROWED IT DOWN
TO JUST THIS COUNTY. IS THERE
ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REASON WHY YOU
WANTED TO STAY KIND OF OPEN
WATER? I MEAN, IT'S WELL, I
DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OTHER
REASONS ARE. I JUST KNOW THAT
THE LAW DOESN'T ALLOW THAT, AND
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE BILL. SO
IT WAS IN YOUR BILL BECAUSE YOUR
YOUR DISTRICT'S PRETTY BIG
THOUGH, SO WOULD THIS BE YOUR
ENTIRE DISTRICT THAT I KNOW THIS
IS ONLY FOR SISKIYOU COUNTY
WHERE WE HAVE THE FARMERS ARE
ACTUALLY TRYING TO GIVE WATER TO
THE FISH, BUT SO IF YOU HAVE
100% OF YOUR WATER, RIGHT, AND
YOU GIVE AWAY 30% AND BY THE
TIME IT GETS TO YOUR THE LAST
GUY IN THE DITCH, AND THERE'S
50% OF THE WATER, STOLEN OR
TAKEN OR EVAPORATE OR WHATEVER.
THEY DON'T GET IT, SO THEY'RE
LOSING THEIR WATER. RIGHT SO
WE'RE TRYING TO ATTEMPT TO HELP
THE FISH AT THE SAME TIME GET
WHAT'S LEFT AVAILABLE. UM TO THE
FARMERS THAT ARE ACTUALLY HAVE
THE WATER, RIGHT? SO THEY'RE
THEY'RE GIVING UP 30% OF THEIR
WATER. THANK YOU, AND THEY WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OTHER 70%
GETS TO THEIR FARMS. SO THIS IS,
UM ONE OF THESE BILLS WHERE IT'S
SUCH A FOREIGN. THIS WHOLE
SITUATION IS SO SORT OF FOREIGN
TO ME THAT IT'S REALLY HARD FOR
ME TO FIRST OF ALL, JUST READING
IT LIKE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S HAPPENING. UM, AND WHEN I
FIRST READ THE BILL, I ACTUALLY
HAD A VERY DIFFERENT IMPRESSION
OF WHAT WAS GOING ON HERE. I
THOUGHT IT WAS SORT OF A DISPUTE
BETWEEN NEIGHBORS KIND OF THING,
OR IT COULD BE UM SO, UM, I
APPRECIATE YOU'RE EXPLAINING IT,
AND, UH, OKAY. THANK YOU. WE'RE
TRYING TO CONSERVE WATER AND
HELP FISH. FRANK BUTTON. DID YOU
WANT TO MR RIGHT HERE? ACTUALLY.
YES. THANK YOU, SENATOR DOLLY
ACTUALLY REALLY APPRECIATE THIS
BILL, AND I WISH IT WOULD BE A
STATEWIDE THING BECAUSE TO YOUR
POINT UM FOR THOSE OF US IN
ALGERIA'S INABILITIES THINGS
QUITE OFTEN. YOU DO HAVE PEOPLE
THAT SHOW UP AND WE'LL PUMP
WATER OUT OR PUMP WATER INTO
THEIR FIELD, ESSENTIALLY
STEALING WATER, SO HAVING IT
COVERED UM, PREVENTS THAT BUT TO
YOUR POINT, IT ALSO PREVENTS
EVAPORATION LOSS. UM AND WATER
IS CRITICAL. SO I WISH YOU WELL
ON THIS BILL AND I LOOK FORWARD
TO IT BECOMING MORE THAN JUST A
SINGULAR COUNTY THING. AND
EVENTUALLY A STATEWIDE THING.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? I YES, I
WOULD JUST POINT OUT THAT. THE
BENEFITS I SEE IN THE BILL IS
THAT IT DIDN'T ENCOURAGES PEOPLE
TO GIVE UP SOME OF THEIR WATER
RIGHT AND MAKE UP FOR IT BY NOT
LOSING SOMETHING THAT WAS
ALREADY BEING LOST, WHICH IS TO
THEFT AND EVAPORATION. SO IT'S A
WIN FOR THE FISH, AND IT'S ALSO
A NGUYEN. FOR THE PEOPLE THAT
ARE GIVING UP THEIR WATER RIGHTS
AND ACTUALLY ENDING OF PROBLEM
THAT THEY HAVE. THANK YOU. I
JUST CAN I CLARIFY SOMETHING,
SENATOR. SO AS I READ THE BILL
SECTION C, UM. IT JUST ALLOWS
SOMEONE TO GO SEE I THINK IT'S
THE TUMOR LANDOWNERS. UM IT
ALLOWS SOMEONE TO FIX THIS.
WHERE IT'S ON RIGHT WHERE YOUR
PIPE CROSSES SOMEONE ELSE'S
LAND. TO YOUR POINT, RIGHT? YOU
CAN GO FIX THAT DITCH. PUT IT IN
A PIPE OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY
BE, UM, BUT NOTHING IN HERE
SEEMS TO KEEP THEM TOO. AS YOU
EXPLAINED TO MS FRIEDMAN STAYING
IN THAT WATER RIGHT AWAY, SO I
GUESS I'M A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED
BY IS THAT BECAUSE THIS DOESN'T
CHANGE, TRESPASS LAW OR WHAT'S
YOUR BASIS TO SAY THEY'RE GOING
TO STAY IN THAT RIGHT AWAY
RATHER THAN TRESPASS ONTO
SOMEONE'S PRIVATE PROPERTY. YES.
SO THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO
FIX THE DITCH THE WAY IT IS, BUT
THEY CANNOT JUST SIMPLY LET'S
SAY THIS LINE IS THE DITCH RIGHT
HERE. THEY CAN'T SIMPLY JUST CUT
ACROSS SOMEBODY'S PROPERTY AND
GO TO THE DITCH. THEY HAVE TO GO
DOWN. THE THEY HAVE TO ACCESS
THE DITCH FROM THERE AND THEN GO
DOWN THE DITCH AND FIX THE DITCH
THE I MEAN, THE BILL DOESN'T SAY
THAT. I GUESS AS FAR AS I CAN
TELL, SO I GUESS I'M JUST A
LITTLE BILL SAYS. MAKE ME FEEL
SO MUCH BETTER SENATOR. THAT'S
WHY ASKING SO THEY BECAUSE IT
BECOMES, UM, SOMEWHAT VAGUE WHEN
YOU TALK ABOUT EASEMENT VERSUS
PRESCRIPTIVE, RIGHT? THE DITCH
HAS BEEN THERE FOR 100 YEARS.
AND THERE'S BEEN DIFFERENT
OWNERS AND SO IT DOESN'T ALLOW
YOU TO CROSS THEIR PROPERTY.
ONLY WHERE YOU HAVE THE DITCH
WHERE IT'S OUT. YOU CAN'T THAT'S
WHAT I ANYWAY. SO BUT THE WHAT
REALLY? THIS BILL DOES IS ALLOW
YOU TO PUT IT INTO A CONDUIT AND
THAT THAT'S THE THAT'S THE ISSUE
THAT WE HAVE IN CALIFORNIA IS
THE LAW DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO PUT
IT INTO A CONDO, AND WE WANT TO
PUT IT INTO CONTEXT. SO WE
ACTUALLY HAVE LESS MAINTENANCE
AND WE CAN GET THE FULL WATER
RIGHT TO THE ACTUAL WATER, RIGHT
HOLDERS. OKAY, I APPRECIATE THAT
AND ALL YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU AND
I SHOULD CONTINUE THIS
CONVERSATION. I WON'T BE
SUPPORTING IT TODAY TO TAKE YOU
UP TO THE DITCH. BUT BUT I GUESS
I'M JUST I MEAN, I'D LOVE TO SEE
THE DITCH, BUT I GUESS TO YOUR
POINT. IF MY CONCERN HERE IS THE
PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS AND THE
ABILITY TO CROSS AND TRESPASS
INTO SOMEONE'S LAND, WHICH I
THINK MAY HAVE BEEN MIS
FRIEDMAN'S CONCERNED AS WELL, IT
SOUNDS LIKE THAT ISN'T YOUR
INTENT. BUT AS FAR AS I CAN
TELL, THE BILL DOESN'T DICTATE
HOW YOU GET TO THE REPAIR THAT
THIS TALKS OR THE CHANGE TO THE
CONVEYANCE. SO IF WE CAN MAYBE
CLARIFY THAT, THEN I LOOK
FORWARD TO SUPPORTING IT ON THE
FLOOR WITH THAT. WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE? I WOULD JUST LIKE TO
SAY THAT, UM I INSIST YOU COUNTY
WHERE WE HAVE, UM THEY'RE TAKING
OUT THE DAMS ON THE KLAMATH AS
YOU PROBABLY ARE AWARE, AND WE
ALSO HAVE WILD SALMON THERE. AND
SO THE IRRIGATORS UP THERE HAVE
BEEN VERY PROACTIVE IN TRYING TO
DO SAFE HARBOR AGREEMENT SO WE
CAN ACTUALLY PROTECT THE FISH
AND THE FARMERS ARE WILLING TO,
UM, GIVE THEIR WATER RIGHTS UP
AS LONG AS THEY GET FULL
ALLOTMENT, SO THAT'S THE GOAL.
THIS BILL, IT'S SIMPLY A WIN WIN
FOR EVERYBODY. UNFORTUNATELY THE
STATE LAW DOESN'T ALLOW US TO
PUT IN A CONDO, SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE. I
THINK WE HAVE A MOTION AND A
