I think it has to do with not interfering with interstate commerce---some years back there was a major washout on the coast line down near Santa Barbara and the Coastal Commission went nuts and told UP they couldn't touch it and UP said up yours, you can't interfere with interstate commerce and so the damage was repaired and the CC backed off.
