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: Booth claim — 5th South Fork Pitt River filing (Mar 1909). Maintains 12,000 inches. Same location, same specs. Witness A.L. Flournoy. Booth has now filed on his three streams every 2-3 months for 9 months straight — 15 total filings for the same hydropower project. This repetitive filing pattern is unprecedented in the Modoc records.
