The sticking point is this statement, here Paul continues, "If you build a dam, an earthen dam, and interrupt the flow of water off of [YOUR OWN] property, and store that water that is an activity that would require a water right permit from us." Yes, you aren't entitled to block the flow of rainwater off of your property, if it's coming out of a body of water. Rain barrels are one thing (though they are heavily discouraged where i live, but for a different reason, because still water makes for mosquito breeding grounds and mosquitos around here can carry West Nile), but this is about water flow.
How about we fix the title to "It's now illegal to block the flow of water on your property in Oregon"?

Like I said, change.
I'd still take issue with that statement, too.
