I emailed with Ron Stork, who is a real policy guru for the state in regards to water issues. He indicated that Siskiyou County doesn't have the authority to make those sorts of declarations, as it is a State issue, not a county issue, to determine what is and is not navigable.
Tom is up there dealing with the day-to-day and I think he's 100% on the mark with his comments. There is a real far-far-far right element up there that doesn't take kindly to anyone telling them to or not to do just about anything. The Scott and Shasta get dewatered in parts, if memory serves, due to irrigation, despite there being plenty on the books that should protect the salmon and steelhead that run up those rivers. It's tricky politics.
