Proposition 84 Storm Water Grant Program
The Public Resources Code requires that the Proposition 84 Storm Water Grant Program funds be used to provide matching grants to local public agencies for the reduction and prevention of Storm Water contamination of rivers, lakes, and streams. The Legislature may enact legislation to further define this grant program. Assembly Bill (AB) No.739 (Statutes 2007, Chapter 610) was chaptered on October 13, 2007, and further defines the Proposition 84 Storm Water Grant Program.
AB 739 requires the development of project selection and evaluation guidelines for the Proposition 84 Storm Water Grant Program, and provides additional information regarding types of projects eligible for funding. AB 739 also requires creation of a Storm Water Advisory Task Force that will provide advice to the State Water Board on its Storm Water Management Program that may include program priorities, funding criteria, project selection, and interagency coordination of State Programs that address storm water management.
