PART 3 Evaluation Process by the CWCB for Allocation of Funds Allocation of funds will be dependent on availability of funds and an evaluation of the water activity using the criteria in this section. Applications will be received during each funding cycle. The approving roundtable will specify whether the application for funding is from the Statewide or Basin Accounts. For the Statewide Account - applications must be received 60 days prior to the September and March Board meetings (i.e., July 16 to January 15 to be allocated at the CWCB March meeting and January 16 to July 15 to be allocated at the CWCB September meeting). Applications for funds from the Statewide Account will submit applications consistent with the application submittal requirements and these criteria and guidelines. If the application meets the eligibility requirements and threshold criteria then the application will undergo future evaluation using the evaluation criteria. For the Basin Account(s) - applications must be received 60 days prior to the bimonthly Board meetings in which the application will be considered for funding. Applications for funds from the Basin Account will submit applications consistent with the application submittal requirements and these criteria and guidelines. If the application meets the eligibility requirements and threshold criteria and there are sufficient funds in the Basin Account, then the CWCB will approve the application(s). CWCB staff will review all eligible applications and provide a written recommendation to the full CWCB Board at their routine applicable Board meetings. CWCB staff will provide a written recommendation to the Board for allocating funding. The written recommendation will provide a summary detailing how the applicant met the eligibility requirements and evaluation criteria described in this document. The CWCB staff and Board will also provide a summary of why each application is being funded, partially funded or not funded. The following criteria are not provided in any order of preference.
