The project for flood control known as the Merced County Streams Project is adopted and authorized substantially in accordance with the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers in his report dated November 25, 1970, and adopted and authorized by the Act of Congress approved December 31, 1970 (Public Law 91-611) at an estimated cost to the state of such sums as may be appropriated for state participation by the Legislature upon the recommendation and advice of the Reclamation Board. This authorization shall not be deemed to confer preference on this project over the needs of other statewide programs in appropriations of available funds. No state funds shall be appropriated until federal construction funds are available, and no state funds shall be appropriated for any portion or unit of the project until the responsible local agency has provided assurances of financial capability to complete the recreational acquisition and development program for that portion or unit, as detailed in the project report.
The Legislature affirms the topographical and hydrologic characteristics of the Merced County Stream Group for which provision for participation in reservoirs has been made in Section 12826 and determines that the Merced County Streams Project is a project of the Merced County Stream Group, as defined and excepted in Section 12826. The Reclamation Board may loan the local agency the funds necessary to pay the local portion of the costs of the lands, easements, and rights-of-way. The rate of interest on the loan shall be the current rate for the Pooled Money Investment Account. All other provisions of Section 12585.4 shall be applicable to a loan to the local agency under this section.
Any money previously appropriated to the department for the Merced Stream Channel Improvement shall be available for the purposes of this section, including that reappropriated from the Special Account for Capital Outlay in Item 3860-490-036(2) of the Budget Act of 1986 (Chapter 186 of the Statutes of 1986).
(Amended by Stats. 1986, Ch. 819, Sec. 1. Effective September 15, 1986.)
