Eligible costs for grant are limited to construction only. The grant will be established as 35 percent of the reasonable, estimated construction cost for the project up to the maximum established by the State Water Board in the annual Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Intended Use Plan or as otherwise limited by the State Water Board. Applications for WRFP Construction Grant must also follow the CWSRF Policy and priority scoring system. Applications are continuously accepted.
