Any dam or reservoir that falls within the definition of a dam or reservoir in this part by virtue of the amendment of Section 6002 or the addition of Section 6004.5 at the 1965 Regular Session of the Legislature and which the department finds was under construction and not 90 percent constructed on September 17, 1965, shall, except as provided in Section 6466, be subject to the same provisions in this part as a dam or reservoir commenced after that date. Every owner of such a dam or reservoir shall file an application with the department for the department’s written approval of the plans and specifications of the dam or reservoir. Where an application for approval of the plans and specifications for a dam is pending before the department on September 17, 1965, such application shall be deemed to also constitute an application for approval of the plans and specifications of the reservoir which will contain the water impounded by the dam.
