§ 1100. Federal cooperation
As a basis for cooperation with the federal government and its duly established agencies
in the matter of flood control, the State defines its policy with reference to flood
control developments as follows:
(1) [Repealed.]
(2) Where such flood control project is strictly for flood control purposes, no village
or city in this State shall be inundated, flooded, or destroyed thereby.
(3) Adequate compensation shall be made to any town whose grand list shall be substantially
adversely affected by such strictly flood control project for the loss of its tax
revenue.
(4) Where cultivated agricultural lands in excess of 100 acres are to be taken for the
purposes of a flood control project, or the recreational development of the State
or the economy of the river basin involved may be affected thereby, the Department
shall provide notice, an opportunity to submit comments, and an opportunity to request
a public meeting in accordance with section 7713 (Type 2 Procedures) of this title.
The Department shall determine the effect the flood control project will have upon
agricultural land uses or recreational values in this State, or upon the economy of
the river basin involved, and report its findings and recommendations to the proper
federal agency or authority having the flood control project in charge for its consideration
and recognition. The Department shall post its findings and recommendations as a final
decision in accordance with chapter 170 of this title. (Amended 1959, No. 329 (Adj. Sess.), § 39, eff. March 1, 1961; 1961, No. 100, § 2; 1981, No. 242 (Adj. Sess.), § 16; 2015, No. 150 (Adj. Sess.), § 14, eff. Jan. 1, 2018; 2021, No. 42, § 2.)
