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.
