Chapter 6. State Cooperation With The Federal Government On State Water Projects of California Water Code >> Division 6. >> Part 6. >> Chapter 6.

The Department of Water Resources is authorized to participate and cooperate with the United States in the planning of construction, operation, maintenance, and financing of projects that are in substantial conformity with The California Water Plan.

Under the policy established in Section 12895, the department is authorized to participate and cooperate with the United States in the planning of construction, operation, maintenance, and financing of the new Melones Project on the Stanislaus River and the new Hogan Project on the Calaveras River.

The Sacramento Canals Unit of the Central Valley Project is approved for state participation to the extent that funds are hereafter appropriated therefor. The department may enter into a contract with the Federal Government on behalf of the State under which the State agrees to pay to the Federal Government, each year that the net revenue derived from the operation of the Sacramento Canals Unit is less than the amount necessary to pay the appropriate share of the reimbursable construction cost of the unit allocated for repayment in that year, an amount equal to the difference between the revenues received and the amount so allocated for repayment. The contract shall condition any payment upon an appropriation being made therefor.
