California Code of Regulations
Title 23 - Waters
Division 1.5 - General Provisions
Article 1 - General Provisions
Section 200 - Purpose of Regulations
These regulations are adopted as an aid to carrying out the provisions of the Cobey-Alquist Flood Plain Management Act. Recognizing that flood plain regulations are justified only in areas subject to flood hazard, the Department or the Board shall construe neither these regulations nor the Act as requiring restrictions on the use of lands which are not subject to such flood hazard.
