48-3625. Limitation on powers
A county flood control district may not exercise any power or authority granted by
this article, nor may it undertake or cooperate in planning, authorizing, constructing,
acquiring, extending, improving, maintaining or operating any flood control structures,
dam systems or projects on any portion of a watershed supplying water to any dam and
reservoir existing within this state having a designed water storage capacity of fifty
thousand acre feet or more, or to any existing diversion dam and canal system having
facilities within this state designed to divert and carry not less than one thousand
cubic feet per second, without first obtaining the written consent of the agency,
district, association, company or organization owning or operating or being served by
such dam, reservoir, diversion dam or canal system. Such consent, however, is only
required from irrigation districts and agricultural improvement districts organized
pursuant to the laws of this state and defined under this title, and any other
associations or organizations operating such dams, reservoirs, diversion dams and canal
systems as part of a federal reclamation project. This section does not prohibit the
district from adopting and enforcing such regulations as are duly enacted pursuant to
this article.
