Cattle rancher Debbie Bacigalupi is working overtime to protect her family’s Northern California ranch. It’s not just the government’s newly “reintroduced” wolves or the poorly managed government forests burning up that threaten to destroy it. To Bacigalupi and other embattled ranchers in the Klamath River Basin, it seems like costly new decrees, orders, laws, and regulations are lurking around every corner. It has gotten so bad that farmers and ranchers are not sure how much more they will be able to withstand.
Most recently, authorities undertook the largest dam removal project in history, all but destroying a major source of water and electricity to the rural communities. Under the guise of allowing salmon to swim freely, state and federal officials are destroying the dams that in many ways make the area habitable for people and many animals. The dam removal is expected to be finished before fall. But total control of all water across the entire Klamath River Basin—home to countless farmers and ranchers—has already begun.
The “full basin management” scheme now looms over the livelihood of producers in the area. Meanwhile, the California State Water Resources Control Board has repeatedly targeted the Bacigalupi ranch for so-called violations. After approving their livestock-watering pond more than 15 years ago, the state now insists the ranch must redo and resubmit the plans to be reapproved. Apparently, the water control bureaucracy was understaffed at the time of the original application—though not too understaffed to collect the yearly water permitting fees, Bacigalupi tells RANGE magazine.
And so, at great expense, the family must jump through all the hoops again. Bacigalupi can barely contain her frustration. “They will probably either tell us we owe a bunch of money that we can’t afford, or that we need to destroy our pond,” she says, noting that authorities admitted to using satellite imagery to surveil her family’s private property.
“We are constantly dealing with this kind of stuff. We’re just surrounded by the intensifying pressure. You keep wondering when the next shoe is going to drop. You can never just enjoy the scenery, the warm wind blowing in your hair, because you’re always wondering what these agencies are going to do next—what is the next trick up their sleeves? The reality is they want your land and they want your water.” […]
