   Bill Eiler, president of the Siskiyou County Farm Bureau, said the soaring costs for the watermaster program would be unbearable for some farmers and ranchers.
   
   "Many of them can barely afford what they've got laid on them already," he said.
   
   Various provisions in the state budget over the past two years have prevented the department from collecting on its proposed fees, temporarily aiding the farmers. The total program cost has remained steady at $780,000 for the past two fiscal years.
   ...
   Such a change would be welcome to farmers such as Eiler, the county farm bureau president who also grows grain and hay on his land just south of the Oregon border.
   
   "Right now, it feels like we're playing Russian roulette with the government, trying to figure out if they're going to protect us from these fees for another year," he said. #

   Bill Eiler, president of Siskiyou Farm Bureau, said that the state Farm Bureau legal staff has been researching the legalities of the proposals by the state control board.
   
   Apparently, "the state is obligated to establish the TMDL rules," said Eiler, "but the state control board is under no obligation to take action on water rights."
