Summary
The Baldwin Hills & Urban Watersheds Conservancy Proposition 1 Grant Program aims to award projects and programs that protect and improve water quality. The Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014 (Assembly Bill (AB) 1471), was approved by voters in November 2014. It added Division 26.7 (commencing Section 79700) to the Water Code. Section 79731(a) of Chapter 6 of the Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014 authorizes the Legislature to appropriate $10,000,000 (ten million dollars) to the Baldwin Hills and Urban Watersheds Conservancy (Conservancy) for competitive grants for multi-benefit ecosystem and watershed protection and restoration projects in accordance with statewide priorities. All Proposition 1 grants funded by the Conservancy must achieve at least one of the purposes identified in Chapter 6.
