State Database (eWRIMS)

Not in state DB

This water right does not appear in California's eWRIMS database. The holder likely has not filed a Statement of Diversion and Use with the State Water Resources Control Board. Pre-1914 rights are only in eWRIMS if holders voluntarily filed — many have not, making these rights less visible to the state.

Notes: Three-party claim from Warner Range. Dam 15-25 ft high. Hufford gets 200 inches via Pine Creek; Paynes get 400 inches via Fitzhugh Creek/North Fork Pit River. Complex water routing: dam → ditch → natural creek channels → individual ditches/flumes. Hufford's water taken from main ditch where it leaves Pine Rock Canyon.
