Section 5652 Of Article 1. General From California Fish And Game Code >> Division 6. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 1.
5652
. (a) It is unlawful to deposit, permit to pass into, or place
where it can pass into the waters of the state, or to abandon,
dispose of, or throw away, within 150 feet of the high water mark of
the waters of the state, any cans, bottles, garbage, motor vehicle or
parts thereof, rubbish, litter, refuse, waste, debris, or the
viscera or carcass of any dead mammal, or the carcass of any dead
bird.
(b) The abandonment of any motor vehicle in any manner that
violates this section shall constitute a rebuttable presumption
affecting the burden of producing evidence that the last registered
owner of record, not having complied with Section 5900 of the Vehicle
Code, is responsible for that abandonment and is thereby liable for
the cost of removal and disposition of the vehicle. This section
prohibits the placement of a vehicle body on privately owned property
along a streambank by the property owner or tenant for the purpose
of preventing erosion of the streambank.
(c) This section does not apply to a refuse disposal site that is
authorized by the appropriate local agency having jurisdiction or to
the depositing of those materials in a container from which the
materials are routinely removed to a legal point of disposal.
(d) This section shall be enforced by all law enforcement officers
of this state.
