The State Water Board has an annual
SCG appropriation of $8 million dollars,
which is administered consistent with
the CWSRF Intended Use Plan (IUP),
and the CWSRF Policy. The Prop 1
funds will supplement existing SCG
authority. Administering these funds as a
part of the CWSRF Program allows
grant funds to be easily leveraged with
low-interest financing available through
the CWSRF Program. CWSRF
applications are accepted on a
continuous basis, and eligible projects
are funded as applications are completed
and approved.
