Is this use of a storm water drainage channel that goes to the Pacific Ocean allowed by the California Fish and Game?
Caltrans, apparently cannot stop State Highway 1 from flooding?
"Due to past litigation, the Department is no longer responsible or allowed
to maintain the channel located off of the Caltrans right of way. If you
would like further information about the drainage situation and the
maintenance effort at this location, which has a history beyond what can
be detailed in an e-mail, please let me know so that I can arrange a
meeting with Department staff familiar with the drainage challenges and
restrictions at this site."

You would think that this would go against all NPDES Caltrans County of San Luis Obispo and Oceano Community Service District permits involving this drainage system changed by the County to the Pacific Ocean?
The Oceano Community Service District discharges their Well # 8 water into this drainage system daily as Caltrans has been caught on security cameras shoveling and grading their storm water and debris into this storm water drainage channel. Is this legal?
Skoumbas v. City of Orinda (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 783. Diversion of
surface waters into a natural watercourse creates liability only if it causes an
unreasonable risk of harm under Locklin factors and is a substantial cause of
damage. Flood control system that fails in heavy rain and causes damage
to property that has historically been subject to flooding governed by rule
of reasonableness. City could be liable even if its storm drainpipe
discharged into a private pipe and the damage occurred downstream.
We conclude the critical inquiry is not whether the entire system was a
public improvement, but rather whether the City acted reasonably in its
maintenance and control over those portions of the drainage system it does
own. Substantial cause-and-effect relationship is enough for liability
even for downstream flooding.

Caltrans District 5 using State Highway 1 for Storm Water Retentionby surfshop1963478 views
The County of San Luis Obispo now admits that the flooding of State Highway 1 is not the fault of Pismo Oceano Vegetable Exchange as the County Of San Luis Obispo states in this same E-Mail dated November 8, 2010---- “However, because of the relatively flat grades it is anticipated that the pipe may need frequent maintenance to keep it clear of the eucalyptus leaves that currently clog the existing ditch and pipe.

The County of San Luis Obispo in their “Answer To Petition For Review” by Thomas L. Riordon, SBN 104827 shows the Supreme Court why the review was necessary as the County explains on P. 5 “The Oceano Community Service District (District) owns a water well. From time to time, the well discharges water into the drainage channel that leads to the culvert under the rail bed. (RT Vol. 5:1265-1266)”

The California Supreme Court ignores the evidence that the County of San Luis Obispo withheld from discovery showing "No Date Of Stabilization" The Court Stated: Bookout argues the trial court erred in receiving documentary evidence that was not produced during discovery. The document is a county drainage study questionnaire returned by Bookout in July 2002. Bookout stated on the questionnaire that the area floods one foot or more once a year and that the flooding has damaged his inventory."
