Cal. Water Code § 35548

If a written protest is made pursuant to Section 35546 against the proposed plan and the board finds that the protest represents more than one-half of the assessed value of the lands to which delivery of water would be curtailed under the proposed plan, and such protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the same to less than a majority of such assessed value, the proceedings shall be terminated and no further proceedings may be taken with respect to such plan or any modification thereof for a period of one year from the time of the decision of the board on the hearing.
