§ 12707 Santa Maria River Flood Control

• •This law is about a plan to control floods and improve rivers and streams in the Santa Maria River area.
• •The plan follows suggestions from a report by the Chief of Engineers and was approved by Congress in 1954.
• •The estimated cost for the state to do this work is $1,216,000.

Imagine a small town near a river that floods every year, causing damage to homes and farms.

This law allows the state to build things like levees (big walls to hold back water) and improve the river channels to stop the flooding. The state will spend about $1.2 million to do this work, following a plan approved by the government.
