Background
Proposition 84 (PDF)
, The Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Act of 2006 (Public Resources Code Section 75001, et seq.), was passed by California voters in the November 2006 general election. [To stay current, refer to the actual Public Resources Code, Division 43.]
CDPH's Drinking Water Program is responsible for implementing Sections 75021, 75022, and 75025 of Chapter 2 (Safe Drinking Water and Water Quality Projects). CDPH held public workshops in 2007 (see the workshop presentation (PowerPoint)) and sought public comments on draft criteria for funding under Chapter 2. In addition, CDPH received input from its Stakeholder Committee Members (PDF).
Criteria for Funding
The criteria for funding projects are here:
Section 75021: Safe drinking water emergency funding (PDF)($10 Million)
Sections 75022 and 75025: Draft revised criteria for Section 75022 and draft new criteria for Section 75025.
Project Priority Lists (PPLs)
If your preapplication is on a project priority list (PPL), you do not need to resubmit your preapplication. If your preapplication was previously found to be ineligible, you will need to address its deficiencies prior to resubmitting it in a subsequent cycle. Learn more about the Universal Pre-Application here.
