Statute overview

About this statute

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.

Land Exchanges for Renewable Energy-Related Projects [8720 - 8723] ( Chapter 2 added by Stats. 2011, Ch. 485, Sec. 2. ) ## 8720. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) The high cost of energy is taking a financial toll on California’s residents and economy, as well as making the state more dependent on foreign oil. (b) California is home to abundant renewable energy resources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass. (c) The State Lands Commission manages on behalf of the State Teachers’ Retirement Fund (STRS) hundreds of thousands of acres of school lands, a great deal of which have significant potential for siting large-scale renewable energy projects. (d) The State Lands Commission has a duty pursuant to the School Land Bank Act (Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 8700)) to take all action necessary to fully develop school lands into a permanent and productive resource base for the benefit of STRS. (e) A significant amount of school lands are not producing revenue from large-scale renewable energy projects because they are isolated, landlocked parcels, the majority of which are remote desert lands. The consolidation of school land parcels into contiguous holdings would facilitate the sound and effective management of these lands for large-scale renewable energy projects. (f) On October 16, 2008, the State Lands Commission adopted a resolution supporting the environmentally responsible development of school lands for renewable energy-related projects. (g) If school lands are leased for large-scale renewable energy projects, the state will benefit in the form of reduced carbon emissions, a cleaner and healthier environment, affordable energy, stronger national security, new jobs, and more funding for STRS. (h) It is the policy of the state to promote the advancement, development, assessment, and installation of large-scale renewable energy projects on school lands. Any consolidation and development of school lands for renewable energy should be done with assurances that the state’s unique and sensitive environment will be protected.

(a) Within 240 days of the execution of a memorandum of agreement pursuant to Section 8722, the commission shall prepare and submit to the United States Secretary of the Interior a proposal for land exchanges that consolidate school land parcels in the California desert into contiguous holdings that are suitable for large-scale renewable energy-related projects. In developing the proposal, the commission shall give priority to land exchanges that will facilitate the development of large-scale renewable energy projects. (b) The commission’s proposal shall be based on an acre-for-acre exchange with the United States. If the United States is not authorized to enter into such an agreement, the commission may propose an exchange based on equivalent appraised values. (c) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), the commission may withhold a school land parcel from an exchange proposal or request additional consideration from the United States Secretary of the Interior if the commission reasonably believes, based on existing and reliable information, that an acre-for-acre exchange would not provide the state with compensation that is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the school land parcel. For the purposes of this subdivision, the commission shall consider the potential renewable energy value of a parcel the commission would receive in the exchange. (d) In preparing the land exchange proposal, the commission shall consult with the Department of Fish and Game to identify areas in the California desert that would be consistent with the proposed or adopted provisions of the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan and are either of the following: (1) Suitable for renewable energy projects because the identified areas do not support habitat or habitat corridor values for species listed as threatened, endangered, or candidate species pursuant to the California Endangered Species Act (Chapter 1.5 (commencing with Section 2050) of Division 3 of the Fish and Game Code) or the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. Sec. 1531 et seq.), that, in the judgment of the Department of Fish and Game, are sufficient to warrant consideration of their designation as a mitigation or conservation area for these species. (2) Suitable as potential mitigation areas to mitigate the impacts that renewable energy-related projects may have on the environment. (e) The commission’s costs and expenses attributable to the land exchange process may be payable from the fund. Notwithstanding Section 6217.5, a portion of the revenues generated from renewable energy leases pursuant to this chapter shall be made available to the commission, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to cover the commission’s costs attributable to the land exchange process. (f) The commission may consider counter land exchange proposals from the United States Secretary of the Interior and make additional proposals to the extent that the additional proposals achieve the goals set forth in this chapter. (g) Final approval of a land exchange proposed pursuant to this chapter shall be made by the commission at a properly noticed commission meeting. (Added by Stats. 2011, Ch. 485, Sec. 2.

Zone 7 of CCS27, which encompasses Los Angeles County, is eliminated and the area is included in Zone 5 of CCS83. Each zone of CCS27 is a Lambert conformal conic projection based on Clarke’s Spheroid of 1866, which is the basis of NAD27. The points of control of zones one to six, inclusive, bear the coordinates: Northing (y) = 000.00 feet and Easting (x) = 2,000,000 feet. The point of control of Zone 7 bears the coordinates: Northing (y) = 4,160,926.74 feet and Easting (x) = 4,186,692.58 feet. Each zone of CCS83 is a Lambert conformal conic projection based on the Geodetic Reference System of 1980, which is the basis of NAD83. The point of control of each of the six zones bear the coordinates: Northing (y) = 500,000 meters and Easting (x) = 2,000,000 meters. The area included in the following counties constitutes Zone 1 of CCS27 and CCS83: Del Norte, Humboldt, Lassen, Modoc, Plumas, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama, and Trinity. The area included in the following counties constitutes Zone 2 of CCS27 and CCS83: Alpine, Amador, Butte, Colusa, El Dorado, Glenn, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sierra, Solano, Sonoma, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba.

The plane coordinates of a point on the earth’s surface, to be used in expressing the position or location of the point in the appropriate zone of CCS27 or CCS83, shall consist of two distances, expressed in feet and decimals of a foot or meters and decimals of a meter. One of these distances, to be known as the “East x-coordinate,” shall give the distance east of the Y axis; the other, to be known as the “North y-coordinate,” shall give the distance north of the X axis. The Y axis of any zone shall be parallel with the central meridian of that zone. The X axis of any zone shall be at right angles to the central meridian of that zone.

(3) Resource conservation districts are important partners to the state in achieving the state’s ever-evolving goals to protect, conserve, restore, and enhance natural resources and to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change. (4) This division is enacted to accomplish the following purposes: (A) To provide the means by which the state may cooperate with the United States and with resource conservation districts organized pursuant to this division in securing the adoption in this state of conservation, enhancement, restoration, adaptation, and resilience practices, including, but not limited to, farm, range, open space, urban development, wildlife, recreation, watershed, water quality, and woodland, best adapted to save the basic resources, soil, water, and air of the state from unreasonable and economically preventable waste and destruction. (B) To provide for the organization and operation of resource conservation districts for the purposes of the protection, conservation, restoration, or enhancement of natural resources, the improvement or enhancement of adaptation or resilience to climate change, the mitigation or sequestration of carbon emissions on natural lands and working lands, soil and water conservation, the control of runoff, the prevention and control of soil erosion, and erosion stabilization, including, but not limited to, these purposes in open areas, agricultural areas, urban development, wildlife areas, recreational developments, watershed management, the protection of water quality and water reclamation, the development of storage and distribution of water, and the treatment of each acre of land according to its needs. (b) The districts, in addition to any other authority provided by law, may do all of the following: (1) Ensure consistency with the authorities and policies of the United States, this state, counties, cities, public districts, other resource conservation districts, persons, associations, and corporations. (2) With the consent of the owner, construct on privately or publicly owned lands any necessary works for the protection, conservation, restoration, or enhancement of natural resources, the improvement or enhancement of adaptation or resilience to climate change, the mitigation or sequestration of carbon emissions, or the prevention and control of soil erosion and erosion stabilization. (3) Facilitate coordinated resource management efforts for watershed restoration and enhancement. (4) Develop and implement projects and programs for the conservation, enhancement, restoration, adaptation, and resilience of soil, water, and biodiversity and related natural resource conservation.

(a) It is the policy of the state that the protection and management of natural and working lands is an important strategy in meeting the state’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. The protection and management of those lands can result in the removal of carbon from the atmosphere and the sequestration of carbon in, above, and below the ground. (b) The protection and management of natural and working lands provides multiple public benefits, including, but not limited to, assisting with adaptation to the impacts of climate change, improving water quality and quantity, flood protection, ensuring healthy fish and wildlife populations, and providing recreational and economic benefits. (c) All state agencies, including, but not limited to, the Natural Resources Agency, the Department of Food and Agriculture, and the California Environmental Protection Agency, and their respective departments, boards, and commissions, shall consider the policy set forth in this section when revising, adopting, or establishing policies, regulations, expenditures, or grant criteria relating to the protection and management of natural and working lands. State agencies shall implement this requirement in conjunction with the state’s other strategies to meet its greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals and with the intent to, among other things, promote the cooperation of owners of natural and working lands. (d) For purposes of this section, the following terms have the following meanings: (1) “Working lands” means lands used for farming, grazing, or the production of forest products. (2) “Natural lands” means lands consisting of forests, grasslands, deserts, freshwater and riparian systems, wetlands, coastal and estuarine areas, watersheds, wildlands, or wildlife habitat, or lands used for recreational purposes such as parks, urban and community forests, trails, greenbelts, and other similar open-space land. For purposes of this paragraph, “parks” includes, but is not limited to, areas that provide public green space.
