the recommendation and advice of the Department of Water Resources.

12750.1. The State shall pay the cost of lands, easements and
rights-of-way for small flood control projects authorized by Section
12750 only if the department finds in its judgment that the benefits
of the proposed works of improvement will exceed the costs thereof
and that the project plan appears to be the most economical project
plan, considering construction costs, lands, easements and
rights-of-way costs, and costs of operation and maintenance.

12751. Any county, city, state agency or public district affected
by a small flood control project referred to in Section 12750 shall

Army, shall execute the project and may make such modifications and
amendments to the plans as may be necessary to execute them for the
purposes of Chapters 1 and 2 of this part.
