§ 12717 Contra Costa Flood Control Assurance

• •The Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District must promise the U.S. Army that they will do their part for a flood control project.
• •This promise is required by a federal law called the Flood Control Act of 1960.
• •The project is the one mentioned in Section 12716 of the local law.

Imagine your town wants to build a big wall to stop floods from hurting houses. The federal government says they'll help pay for it, but only if the town promises to do its part, like maintaining the wall later.

In this case, the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District is like the town. They have to promise the U.S. Army (which handles big projects like this) that they will do their part for the flood control project. This promise is required by a federal law.
