Hydrology/Water. Quality 1707 dedications: -TNC filed California Water Code Section 1707 petitions with the SWRCB in July 2012 with the expressed intent to recognize fish and wildlife preservation and enhancement as a beneficial use of BSRWA water rights, while retaining the beneficial uses of irrigation and stock water. TNC hired Davids Engineering to calculate the consumptive use of the water rights. The consumptive use is the portion of the water right that is evaporated, transpired by plants, incorporated into products or crops, consumed by humans or livestock, or otherwise removed from the immediate water environment. To successfully add fish and wildlife as a beneficial use to the property’s water rights, TNC showed that such an action would not harm other water right holders. As a result, SWRCB added instream flow as a beneficial use fish and wildlife preservation and enhancement to the water rights on the property (18.11 cfs) but only the consumptively used portion of these water rights can be bypassed downstream of the Montague USGS measuring xxxx (USGS 11517000) as specified in the Order approved by the SWRCB on May 8, 2014. Table 3 provides a summary of the consumed use calculations of BSRWA water rights that could be expected to be bypassed by the Watermaster to the point of compliance (Montague USGS Gage). A Supplemental Decree was filed with the Siskiyou County Superior Court to add fish and wildlife preservation and enhancement as a beneficial use to the BSRWA water rights in in September 2014. Annually, the Permittee will notify the Shasta Valley Watermaster District of its intent to leave the water rights instream per the Compliance Plan associated with the 1707 petition.
