DWR PLANS INFORMATIONAL WORKSHOPS FOR INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT GRANT PROGRAM

SACRAMENTO -- The Department of Water Resources (DWR) has scheduled a series of mid-November workshops on the Propositions 84 and 1E funded Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Program.

The purpose of the meetings is to discuss how DWR plans to expedite both the Proposition 84 IRWM Implementation and Proposition 1E Stormwater Flood Management grant funding.

On September 30, 2008, Governor Schwarzenegger signed SBxx1which contained appropriations for the IRWM program.

Proposition 84
$181,791,000, of which $100,000,000 is for implementation grants

Proposition 1E
$150,000,000 for Stormwater Flood Management projects

Workshops will be held to open discussions with potential grant applicants on how DWR plans to award these funds. The region acceptance process will be discussed, questions will be answered, and a draft schedule will be reviewed.

The workshop will be web broadcast at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast.
During the broadcast, listeners may e-mail comments or questions to: DWR_IRWM@water.ca.gov.
