This is a press release from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:

Thursday 7-21-2016 concluded a four day marijuana eradication effort that took place in the northern end of Mendocino County.   The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank all the agencies who assisted in this operation; Officers from the Ukiah Police Department, Officers from the Willits Police Department, Officers from the Fort Bragg Police Department, Wardens and Biologist from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, members of the California National Guard Counter Drug Team, BLM Rangers, Prevention Officers with Cal Fire, Officers with the Siskiyou County Narcotics Task Force and members of the Mendocino County Major Crimes Task Force.  Each of the agencies provided much needed mutual aid resources in a cooperative effort to assist the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office.

There were no suspects that could be connected to these three locations and at this point no arrests have been made.  These investigations are ongoing.

Also on 7-21-2016 eradication efforts continued in the burned area of the “Lodge Fire” several years earlier, in the area of the headwaters of the South Fork of the Eel River.  Two “open field’ sites were eradicated with the following numbers being eradicated; Site 1- 2139 marijuana plants and Site 2- 5666 marijuana plants.There were no suspects that could be connected to these two locations and at this point no arrests have been made.  These investigations are ongoing.

One “open field” marijuana grow site was eradicated near the Shamrock Ranch area resulting in 300 marijuana plants being eradicated. There were no suspects that could be connected to this location and at this point no arrests have been made.  This investigation is ongoing.

The final results of the four day eradication effort was;
-40397 marijuana plants being eradicated.
-14 persons arrested.
-7 firearms being seized.
-37 environmental damage cases being discovered and investigated.  These violations include; illegal water diversion, stream pollution, and solid waste violations.

The strange thing about these algae’s is there turning up everywhere. I think the warming climate might be partly responsible.

Check out what’s happening in Florida! It’s everywhere, but helped along by excessive nutrients in the water… like cow poop. But we’re focusing on social conflicts here, not science. af

I am sure you have seen what Clear Lake has looked like from the little bit of farming around the watershed there. Pear orchards ( in the past ) mostly I think. They have been working on mitigating the problem thou.

I have lived in the area for over 40 years and there was blue/green algae in the river back in the early ’70s. It has always started to develop in July and by August it gets very bad in places. I live right on the river and it is no worse now than it has ever been…obviously, the wetter the winter the greater the flow in the river and you get less algae. But with low flows like we are still seeing from the drought, there will be lots of it.

How unpopular do you have to be to have a 49 plant garden taken these days?

Not much. A different color, church, or political stance will do it. af

My thoughts exactly. Every garden they pulled under 500 plants is a joke. They need to be going after the big boys, with over 1000’s……. Mendo is a crappy joke……

Mendo has a strict 25 plant limit, unless you were lucky enough to get a permit to grow 99 plants thru the sheriff. Tom Allman will send his guys out to cut down anything over 25 without a permit, and even if you have 25 plants that is not next to your house they call it a open field search and cut them down, it is way different in mendo compared to humboldt, most people are struggling to survive, he brings in the national Guard like it is the 80’s to scare everyone

Give it a couple years and you’ll be able to grow 49000 garden and not have to worry about it being taken

Not in mendocino county, the raids will continue, the few people who jump thru numerous hoops might be able to grow a quarter acre, while the rest will not and Tom Allman and his crew can still raid people and charge them the $50 per plant eradication fee and $500 per pound eradication fee, after they stole everything that is not nailed down

California Artificial Marijuana Price Support Team>

Can’t have an oversupply crisis in the market, that might impact some well-connected monopolist’s profit margins.

I for one feel so much more secure knowing that, thanks to the CAMPS Team, the price of this pernicious weed remains high enough to support the politicians and their cronies in the opulent style to which they’ve become accustomed!

Perhaps the 90 – 95 percent diversion of South Fork of the Eel River into the Russian River watershed has the major effect in on the algae blooms?

Perhaps a story about the diversion at Dos Rios.
