SACRAMENTO, Calif., Aug. 19, 2002 -- The California Department of Water Resources has scheduled five workshops in September to inform local public agencies about requirements for submitting grant proposals under the Local Groundwater Assistance Act (AB 303, Stats. of 2000, ch. 708).
The intent of AB 303 is to provide funding to help local agencies better understand effective groundwater resource management that will ensure the safe production, quality, and proper storage of California's groundwater.
Grants are available to conduct groundwater studies, monitoring, or groundwater management activities. The maximum grant available is $250,000.
The revised application will be available in late August and can be found on the DWR website: http://wwwdpla.water.ca.gov/grants-loans/G8c.html
