The Department’s decision is the result of an extremely competitive process and an impressive response from special districts, local governments, and non-profits throughout the state. The Department received 86 proposals requesting over $19 million in funding. The large number of proposals received reflects the great need for watershed coordination in the state. The $9 million allocated for this three-year grant program was sufficient to fund only half of the submitted proposals. The review committee recognized that there were many compelling and high-quality proposals that could not be recommended for due to funding constraints.

The Department encourages organizations which were not recommended for funding to continue watershed work through other means if possible. The management of water resources and the improvement of impaired watersheds is a high priority for the State, and watershed coordinators have shown great success in both areas.
