The CWMTF is not available for compensatory mitigation projects. <br /> 2-- Projects eligible for funds from other state or federal grant programs will be considered,but will <br /> not be preferred unless significant matching resources are provided. <br /> 3-- To the extent practicable, grant awards will be distributed geographically across the state. At least <br /> 20% of annual allocations will be targeted to each of three geographic regions of the state: mountain, <br /> piedmont and coastal. <br /> 4-- The scope and benefits of the project will be evaluated relative to the amount of the requested <br /> grant: <br /> 5--The Board may award grants on a limited basis for(1)projects which facilitate planning that <br /> targets reduction in surface water pollution or protection of unpolluted waters; or(2) coordination <br /> with other public programs to gain the most public benefit while protecting and improving water <br /> quality; even though such applications may not score well on our measures of quantitative criteria <br /> above. <br /> 6-- The Board may award grants to applicants for projects which the Board finds are uniquely <br /> different than the quantitative criteria anticipate and are exceptional opportunities for restoration or <br /> preservation. <br /> Back to Home <br /> of 3 3/4/2002 4:14 PM <br />
