Non-Reimbursable Application-CWCB Construction Fund
Form Revised August 2004
•
5. Explain why you are requesting a grant, instead of a loan. (The Construction Fund exists primarily to
provide low interest loans for the construction or rehabilitation of raw water projects. Non-
reimbursable investments are approved only when the project or study is of statewide interest and
benefits a wide range of people and organizations,and/or a large geographical area.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA)is updating this document in groups
of states around the country. While NOAA provides all of the labor and technical expertise,the vast
majority of the funding for the project must be funded by other sources.
Because the primary need for this data is the accuracy of floodplain mapping,the CWCB, as the state
lead for floodplain management and mapping, is the primary beneficiary of this information.
This project will cover the entire state and will ultimately benefit users in all communities throughout
the state.
