TJ, that sounds right.

It looks like they bought land with a pond that had been illegally constructed in the 70's as forbidden by the 1925 law. The local water use commission didn't care until the new owners applied for pot growing permits that specify where they'll get the irrigation water.


I missed where it said the pond was constructed in the '70s. To me, that would make it very difficult to conclusively prove that it was built illegally.


In the original article it says that the pond was built in the 70's without seeking the permits required by the law passed in 1925.
