10602
. The department, with regard to the South Fork of the
American River between Chili Bar Reservoir and the Salmon Falls
Bridge, may recommend to the Legislature that state financial
assistance be provided (1) where it is necessary to make the
alternative solution financially attractive to the local area
compared to the development which would eliminate or substantially
impair the significant instream beneficial uses, and (2) where the
value of the instream beneficial uses that would be preserved are
greater than the proposed state financial assistance.
