The State Water Board solicited grant proposals on August 2, 2005 and 16 eligible proposals were submitted by the due date of October 3, 2005. In accordance with the Program Guidelines, an interagency Selection Panel was convened to review and rank the proposals. The Panel completed its work and submitted its Recommended Projects List to the State Water Board on December 16, 2005.
The State Water Board discussed the Recommended Projects List at two Board meetings on January 4 and 13, 2006. At the second meeting, the State Water Board adopted the Recommended Projects List.
