12670.16
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency's share of the nonfederal
capital costs of the projects for flood control authorized in Section
12670.14 shall be calculated in accordance with Section 12585.5, and
the agency shall be reimbursed pursuant to Section 12585.5 for any
costs of project features that the agency advances on behalf of the
department or Reclamation Board if either of the following
requirements is met:
(1) The advances are made in response to a federal request for
payment of the nonfederal share of the cost of the project.
(2) If the advances are made for project features that have not
yet been authorized by Congress, the Reclamation Board has received a
written determination by the federal government that the project
features will likely be authorized by Congress and, if so authorized,
the advances will be eligible for credit toward the nonfederal share
of the cost of these features.
(b) Prior to any reimbursement pursuant to subdivision (a), the
agency shall execute an agreement with the department under which it
agrees to indemnify and hold the state harmless from damages due to
the construction, operation, or maintenance of those projects and
agrees to operate, maintain, repair, replace, and rehabilitate those
projects, or provide the agreement of its appropriate member agency
to do so.
