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: MASSIVE informal claim — 40,000 inches of South Fork Pit River via 'West side canal.' Very casual filing: uses 'Likely 8/25/09' instead of formal date. Claims both flood water AND natural flow. Same river as Booth's 18 hydropower filings — potential conflict. Witness Nellie Baty. Filed at request of B.F. Lynip. Shares page 93 with second Bayley claim.
