Backtrollin, to lay the enforcement issues on the WFC is disingenuous at least. The code enforcement program is anonymous and in my 25 years in the valley it's been neighbor reporting neighbor. I doubt most people that do not own land would know a code violation if they saw one other than a clearing and grading of a stream bank. The bigger issues is unequal enforcement on the counties part. Secondly why should WFC or anyone fund remediation of riparian habitat for a land owner? First off there is no requirement to remediate unless there has been a code violation or a permit request. Trust me when I say if you are in violation of the code you did it on purpose hoping to get away with it or betting that foregiveness is cheaper than the permit. Some of the codes are overbearing and need to be adjusted on a case by case basis.
