Bureau Outlines Small Projects Act Procedures
The Reclamation Bureau announced basic procedures for applying to loans and grants under the Small Projects Act. No funds are yet appropriated, with changes likely next session. The act allows federal grants or loans up to five million dollars for local reclamation projects costing up to ten million dollars. Local agencies must provide rights of way and water rights, repay loan funds, and may receive outright grants for flood control or fish and wildlife work. Applications begin with the state governor, with state assurances on water rights, and basin-wide review in most cases.
