Official statutory text
Whenever supervision of safety of design or construction of a proposed or existing dam or reservoir is exercised by the United States or any of its agencies pursuant to a jurisdiction superior to that of the state, and the requirements made under authority of such jurisdiction are so contradictory with requirements made by the department under this part that a compliance cannot be made which will meet both federal and state requirements, then the state requirements shall be modified by the department sufficiently to make possible compliance with both federal and state requirements.
