What the document says
“This section shall not apply to irrigation canals and flowage easements.”
Section 4 does not reach irrigation canals or flowage easements. Neither term is defined in section 2.
What the document actually says
“This section shall not apply to irrigation canals and flowage easements.”
That sentence, in plain words
This part does not cover farm water channels. It does not cover flowage easements.
What this is about
A canal that carries farm water is left out. So is a flowage easement. The law does not say what either term means. The rest of the section still holds.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
