Hello, hope things are well with you all, I'm not registered in California but I've been asked to scope out a project near Stockton. It divides out a 55.62 acre mitigation preserve which includes wetland mitigation and aquatic ponds. The southerly boundary is Little John's Creek, I've been searching through California Code/Navigable Waters and the recent changes. I'm thinking Little John's Creek is non-navigable and the boundary would be the thread of the stream and also the call out for "Perpetual Easement State of California" pertains to the bed. I'm not sure if the ordinary high water mark is the determining mark along the bank. I'm not 100% sure of any of this but I'm working on it, if anyone is interested in sharing their knowledge of this subject I'd be grateful. We are also looking for a sub to do this work, let me know.
Thanks, Paul
