Scott Valley Water Right owner asks for refund

QUARTZ VALLEY - Thomas Pease, has formally sent a letter to the Siskiyou Resource Conservation District, in Etna, terminating his “intent” to sign the Watershed Wide Permit Process. He also asked for a refund of his $100 fee that was associated with the Watershed Wide Permit Process and "Notice of Intent."
 
Pease is a Water Right owner in Quartz Valley. Letters, workshop meetings and information dispersed by the Resource Conservation District was overwhelming, demanding and confusing, according to Pease.
 
Citing additional threats received from Fish and Game through letters and meetings, this Water Right owner claims that fraud was used to induce him to sign up for the Permit process in collusion with the RCD.
 
“I believe this Permit is a Constitutional Take of my real property,” said Pease.
 
Pease agrees with the ad-hoc group called Scott Valley Protect Our Water and is saying “No” to the Fish and Game Permit and RCD Permit Process. He alleges that deceptive practices are being used by the RCD and Fish and Game to coerce Water Right owners into signing these re-written Permits involving Incidental Take of coho salmon and 1602 Streambed Alteration.
 
Pease and Scott Valley POW claim these Permits would illegally “take” legal Water Rights.
