(Cancelled) Grants for Reclaimed Irrigation Projects (GRIP) Program
budgeted $500,000 each for this program in FY2009. District staff developed a web page and a program application
process. The program was introduced at the Cooperative Funding Initiative Kick-off Meetings and a news release was
issued October 1, 2008. The program was open for applications during the 2010 CFI application period between October
1, 2008 and December 5, 2008. Action-to-date: Delayed. No applications were received for the program. This is probably
the result of the apparent economic down-turn in the housing industry. Budgeted funds for this program have been
returned to the Basins to fund other requirements or projects that are ready to proceed.
