. It is the intent of the Legislature, in providing for state
participation in the additional costs attributable to the
non-flood-control activities described in this chapter, that the
Reclamation Board and the Department of Water Resources, in preparing
rules and regulations to implement this chapter, provide that, in
processing applications from flood control districts for state
participation in such costs, highest priority be given to those
districts in which factors, such as the size of the district, degree
of nonlocal benefits, and level of non-flood-control maintenance
costs which have been transferred to the district due to
circumstances beyond their control, combine to work financial
hardship on such districts.
