WCVC IRWM Plan Amendment – 2018 Call for Projects and Programs – DUE DATE = October 1!!!
WCVC Call for Projects/Programs – Guidance – here
WCVC 2018 Project/Program Submission Forms – here
DEADLINE: Please submit your Project/Program submission forms to me Lynn Rodriguez no later than Monday, October 1, 2018.
From WCVC: Implementation of projects and programs are the means by which we achieve the goals of the Plan and enhance management of water resources in the region. The projects/programs submitted through this process do not need to be ready for implementation, and do not need to be eligible for, or comply with, the requirements of Prop. 1 IRWM Implementation Grant criteria. The resulting list of projects and concepts will be part of the IRWM Plan until it is subsequently updated. The projects/programs may qualify for funding from a variety of funding sources.
However, the 2018 IRWM Plan Amendment is a necessary step in order for WCVC to apply for the first round of Proposition 1 IRWM Implementation Grant funding when it becomes available in early 2019 – so if you have a project or program you’d like to submit in the first round, please submit a form now and indicate as such. We will be following up later this year to identify which of the projects submitted in this first call for projects are ready for inclusion in the first round funding solicitation. ** Projects or programs included in a grant application to the state must be included in an IRWM Plan; to get your project in the Plan, you need to submit a project submission form for each project you’d like considered**
- In order for a project – or project concept- to be included in the Plan, a Project Submission Form must be submitted. Fill out as much of the form as you can.
- If your project or program is still conceptual, please complete items A, C, D, E, H and J of the form if possible.
- Please submit completed forms to Lynn Rodriguez. The watershed coordinators and Lynn will facilitate review of all project/program forms in each watershed as well as regional projects. Each watershed group will be asked to affirm inclusion of submitted projects in their respective watersheds into the IRWM Plan. These recommendations will be reviewed and approved by the WCVC Steering Committee, which will then be ratified by the General Membership.
Once DWR releases the final Proposal Solicitation Package (PSP), and if your project(s) or program (s) is selected by WCVC for inclusion in the suite of projects in the first round of Prop. 1 IRWM Implementation Grant funding, we will follow up with you to complete additional items on the Project Submission Form that will be required as part of the grant application.
