The judge questioned the department’s conclusion, say- ing “it just doesn’t make sense to me that he wouldn’t be noticed.” “His property is affected probably more than anyone in the watershed,” Trevino said.

Hayes is targeting the state because it is “hard to hold any one dairy farmer accountable for what’s going on in the bay,” said Thomas Benke, his attorney.
