Evaluation Process by the CWCB for Allocation of Funds
Allocation of funds will be dependent on availabi lity of funds and an evaluation of the water
activity using the criteria in this section. Appli cations will be received during each funding cycle.
The approving roundtable will sp ecify whether the application fo r 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 May
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 criter ia and guidelines. If the application meets the
eligibility requirements and threshold criteria th en the application will undergo future evaluation
using the evaluation criteria.
Matching Requirement: For requests from the Stat ewide Fund, the applicants will be required to
demonstrate a 20 percent (or greater) match of the total grant request from the other sources,
including by not limited to Basin Funds. Recogniz ing the limited resources of some entities, in-
kind services will be eligible as matching funds. Past expenditures directly related to the project
