2 Purpose of the CSLC The staff of the California State Lands Commission serves the people of California by providing stewardship of the lands, waterways, and resources entrusted to its care through economic development, protection, preservation, and restoration. -CSLC Mission Statement 3 The Public Trust Doctrine The state s title to its tide and submerged lands is a title held in trust for the people of the state so that those citizens may enjoy the navigation of the waters, carry on commerce over them, and have liberty of fishing free from obstruction or interference from private parties. Illinois Central R.R. Co. v. Illinois (1892) 146 U.S. 387,

6 Swamp & Overflowed Lands Northern California Aerial Surveys, Overflowed lands are periodically covered by water and require drainage and levees or embankments to make fit for cultivation. 11 Swamp & Overflowed Lands Lie above the OHWM, segregated from more arable uplands during original GLO surveys. 12 6
7 Authority of the State Lands Commission 13 Public Resources Code 6301: Exclusive jurisdiction over tide & submerged lands, beds of navigable waterways, and in State s retained rights in lands granted to local governments or other entities.

22 Boundary & Title Investigation Most lands that CSLC has jurisdiction over are either sovereign or otherwise acquired from the Federal government. Most boundaries dealt with by the CSLC are water boundaries. 43 Water Boundaries Key Considerations 44 22
23 Base Title / Source of Title Federally Owned Unsold Public Domain Military Reservation Indian Reservation Other Reservation Acquired 45 Base Title / Source of Title State Owned Sovereign By Federal Grant Acquired Held in Public Capacity, Jus Publicum Held in Proprietary Capacity, Jus Privatum 46 23
24 Base Title / Source of Title Privately Owned Federal Patent Date of Patent State Patent Spanish or Mexican Grant Senior to State Sovereignty Boundaries interpreted according to Spanish or Mexican law, or California law, whichever affords the greater property extent to the grantee. 47 Previous Title Settlement? Court Judgment State as one of the parties? Boundary Line Agreement CSLC as one of the parties? 48 24
25 Navigability and/or Tidal Influence Tidal: Boundary at Ordinary High Water Mark Non-Tidal, Navigable: Boundary at Low Water Mark Non-Tidal, Non-Navigable: Boundary at Middle of Lake or Stream (not under CSLC jurisdiction) Civil Code Navigability * People ex rel. Baker v. Mack, 19 Cal App 3d 1040 (1971) 50 25
26 Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM), Tidal Federal Rule: The line of high water as determined by the course of [all] the tides. Borax Consolidated Ltd. v. Los Angeles, 296 US 10 (1935). California Rule: The intersection of the shore with the plane of high tide based only upon the neap tides. Teschemacher v. Thompson, 18 Cal 11 (1861), People v. Wm. Kent Estate, 242 Cal App 2d 156 (1966). 51 Low Water Mark (LWM), Tidal The intersection of the land with the water surface at the elevation of mean low water. Tide and Current Glossary, NOAA 52 26
27 53 Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM), Non-Tidal The ordinary high water mark of a river is a natural physical characteristic placed upon the lands by the action of the river. It is placed there, as the name implies, from the ordinary flow of the river and does not extend to the peak flow or flood state so as to include overflow on the flood plain, nor is it confined to the lowest stages of the river flow. United States v. Claridge, 416 F.2d 933, at 934 (9th Cir. 1969) 54 27
28 Low Water Mark (LWM), Non-Tidal Does not leave a distinct mark on the bank. Little to no guidance from the courts. On its survey of the San Joaquin River near Mendota and Firebaugh, the CSLC analyzed historic flow data and used estimated water surface elevations per a HEC-RAS model based on topographic data from historic mapping. 55 Shoreline Processes Natural Avulsion, Accretion, Erosion, Reliction, Re-emergence Remains ambulatory if slow and imperceptible Becomes fixed at last natural location if sudden Artificial Channelization, Dredging, Fill, Jetties, Groins, Breakwaters, Piers, Dams, Weirs, Canals, Seawalls, Revetment (rip-rap), other shore protection. Generally fixed at last natural location 56 28
