Proposition 84

THE CALIFORNIA RIVER PARKWAYS AND THE URBAN STREAMS RESTORATION GRANT PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND APPLICATION:

The Natural Resources Agency and the California Department of Water Resources are pleased to announce the joint release of the guidelines and application for the California River Parkways (RP) and the Urban Streams Restoration (USR) grant programs. Funding for both programs is available through the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006 - Proposition 84. Proposed available funding and timelines are contingent upon enactment of the 2008/09 budget and subsequent budget decisions.

Due to the State's fiscal crisis and the current freeze on bond funds, the application cycle for the California River Parkways and the Urban Streams Restoration Grant Programs has been delayed. However, the Natural Resources Agency and the Department of Water Resources are moving ahead with the initial review process and anticipate conducting site visits to projects under consideration during Summer/Fall 2009, contingent on the availability of grant funds.

River Parkways: $30.9 million
Urban Streams Restoration: $9.1 million
Application deadline: November 12, 2008
Anticipated project completion date: May 1, 2013
