(a) For purposes of Sections 65865.5, 65962, and 66474.5, the Mossdale Tract shall achieve the urban level of flood protection by 2040.

(b) For purposes of this section, “Mossdale Tract” means an area of land identified as Reclamation District No. 17 on page 144 of Bulletin No. 37 (1930) of the Department of Water Resources, along with such contiguous urban and urbanizing areas to the east of the tract as would be subject to flooding from the San Joaquin River at an urban level of flood protection.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 8307 of the Water Code, the San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency may be required to contribute its fair and reasonable share of any property damage caused by a flood to the extent that the state’s exposure to liability for property damage has been increased by cities or counties unreasonably approving, as defined in Section 8307 of the Water Code, any new development in the Mossdale Tract between the years 2025 and 2040.
