Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number EPIMS-TRI-09917-R1, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Dominy Wiltse.
The project is limited to the diversion of surface water from Hennessey Creek for domestic and non-commercial cannabis irrigation purposes. The Agreement allows for the maintenance of an existing gravity-fed diversion and the diversion of water under License 12172, which allows for 300 gallons of water per day to be diverted by direct diversion year-round for domestic purposes and 0.06 cubic feet per second by direct diversion from April 1-October 20 for non- cannabis irrigation. Water is diverted via a 3-inch PVC pipe stuck into a small rock-stacked, concrete reinforced dam. Maintenance includes cleaning out the screened inlet and removing accumulated sediment and debris from the pool with a shovel or by hand.
