California Water Commission – Proposition 1 Project Scoping Questionnaire
With the passage of Proposition 1, the California Water Commission (Commission) is implementing Chapter 8 of the Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014 (California Water Code §79750-79760) and developing a competitive process to allocate bond funds for the public benefits of qualified water storage projects. These public benefits include ecosystem improvements, water quality improvements, flood control benefits, emergency response and recreation.
One of the first steps in developing the Commission’s Water Storage Investment Program is an initial scoping survey to collect cursory information about potential water storage projects from project proponents that may request Proposition 1 funding. The Commission will use this information to inform the development of the regulations, guidelines, and implementation process.
If your district/agency has a water storage project under consideration which may qualify for Proposition 1 funding, you should complete this initial scoping survey and submit your information to the California Water Commission by March 11.
