Abstract

This Chapter of Division 6 of Water Code of California declares to be the responsibility of the State of California to assist local governments in providing certain essential services and facilities where water resource construction projects financed, in whole or in part, by the State or by the State jointly with the federal government create an undue burden on a local area’s ability to provide these services and facilities. The Governor may designate, from time to time, and may revoke previous designations of, the area within a 20-mile airline radius of the site of principal construction of any water construction project undertaken by the State as an impact area. State expenditures and loans for aid to local governments provided in accordance with the provisions of this part are a part of the project cost of the project giving rise to the creation of the impact area. For the purposes of this part the Department of Water Resources shall designate the site of principal construction of every water construction project undertaken by the State.
