Round 2 (FY 22/23) Multibenefit Land Repurposing Program (MLRP) Program
Details
Purpose:
To increase regional capacity to repurpose agricultural land to reduce reliance on groundwater while providing community health, economic wellbeing, water supply, habitat, and climate benefits.
Description:
This program funds groundwater sustainability projects that reduce groundwater use, repurpose irrigated agricultural land, and provide wildlife habitat.
Grants up to $8.89 million each will be awarded as block grants to regional or basin-scale organizations to develop and implement land repurposing programs. Block grant recipients will then award subgrants and contract to achieve the program deliverables. The Department reserves the right to increase grant awards above $8.89 million as funding allows.
Up to $2.44 million in grants, comprised of $2 million from the current grant solicitation and $500,000 from the remaining funding from the Budget Act of 2021 (SB 170, Ch. 240, Stat. 2021), will be awarded to federally recognized and non-federally recognized California Native American tribes on the contact list maintained by the Native American Heritage Commission to plan for, develop, and implement multibenefit land repurposing projects within the eligible groundwater basins identified in Section 2 of the Guidelines.
