2018-2019 Urban Streams Restoration Program Solicitation

Department of Water Resources

About this archived opportunity

The Urban Streams Restoration Program (USRP) is currently funded by Propositions 84 and 68 and was established in Water Code Section 7048, which declared that urban creek protection, restoration, and enhancement are best undertaken by local agencies and organizations with assistance from the State. The USRP provides local assistance grants to fund projects and provide technical assistance to restore streams impacted by urban development to a more natural state. The USRP goals include: (1) Protecting, enhancing and restoring the natural, ecological value of streams.(2) Preventing future property damage caused by flooding and bank erosion.(3) Promoting community involvement, education, and riverine stewardship. A major objective of the USRP is to bring people together around projects that foster community relationships while ensuring the community’s interests are incorporated into the project’s planning, design, and outcomes. Local community-supported projects can support local economies, renew a community’s understanding of the value of streams, and make them a centerpiece for the community while expanding their contact with nature. The RSP objectives defined in the Water Code direct program staff to connect with small communities and encourage community participation in project development and stewardship. DWR funding under the Riverine Stewardship Program, and its sub-program USRP, will be awarded through a competitive process. Please read the Final RSP Solicitation Guidelines for full details.
