Section 3318.  


Latest version.
  • An order of the supervisor which involves tide or submerged lands which may have been granted to any city, county, or city and county, or district, shall prohibit any impairment of the public trust for commerce, navigation, or fisheries to which the granted lands are subject. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that compliance with any such order containing such prohibition will not impair the public trust for commerce, navigation, or fisheries to which the granted lands are subject, and that any acts or things done pursuant to the terms thereof or resulting therefrom are consistent with and not in violation of the terms and conditions of any such grant or of any trusts, restrictions, or conditions of appertaining thereto. No such order shall effect or result in, or be construed to effect or result in a revocation of or change in any trust pertaining to the granted lands, or in any grant, conveyance, alienation, or transfer of the granted lands, or any part thereof, to any other individual, firm, or corporation, even though such order provides for the pooling of oil, gas, or other hydrocarbon substances produced from the granted lands with oil, gas, or other hydrocarbon substances produced from other lands, or results in the migration of any oil, gas or other hydrocarbon substances between the granted lands and other lands. If any of the granted lands are contained in any unit created or approved by an order of the supervisor, and, when applicable, the State Lands Commission, then any trust, restrictions, or conditions pertaining to any production from the granted lands included within such a unit, or to any proceeds from such production, shall apply only to that part of the production or that part of the proceeds therefrom which is allocated to such city, county, or city and county or district on account of the granted lands under any such order, and shall not apply to any other production or the proceeds therefrom, whether or not the same may have been produced from the granted lands or other lands.
