4308 REVIEW DENIED Regulations adopted by FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the California Reclamation Board regarding maintenance of levees were found to be guidelines rather than to establish mandatory duties, so a Reclamation District was not liable for damage that resulted from a levee failure allegedly caused by negligent maintenance; negligence in maintaining a public improvement that results in damage to private property does not lead to inverse condemnation liability.
TILTON v RECLAMATION (Levee Failure) 142 CA4 848 [See: GovC 815, 815.6; 42 USC 1983; Haggis v City 22 C4 490, T/AT 4/00; Customer Co v City of Sacramento 10 C4 368 T/AT 7/95]
