Purpose and legislative effect
“This act is named the Public Resources Code.”
The Legislature states that increased requests to take water from state streams, especially for electric energy, may harm streamflows and dependent fish and wildlife resources. The Director of Fish and Game must identify and list state streams and watercourses that need minimum flow levels, include significant ones with findings, rank them by need, and finish the initial list by January 1, 1984. The Director of Fish and Game must prepare proposed streamflow requirements for each identified stream or watercourse and send them to the State Water Resources Control Board. The Director of Fish and Game may review any streamflow requirement and may propose changes, and any proposed change must be sent to the State Water Resources Control Board. The Department of Fish and Game must start studies to develop proposed streamflow requirements, and finish each study within three years.
