Is it correct that applicants must provide a 50-percent non-State match for Local Levee Grant Program funding?
Yes. DWR will require that 50 percent of the eligible costs for repair or evaluation are provided by the grantee. • Is there a preference between cash or in-kind matching for Local Levee Grant Program funding? DWR does not have a preference on whether the grantee’s 50-percent share is accomplished through in-kind services or cash payments.

If cash payments are rendered, the matching funds used by the grantee must be non-State funds. • Is there a defined project period for projects funded by the Local Levee Grant Program?

Specifically for a LLUR grant, the intended use of the funds is to immediately repair local (non-Project) levees. Applications that propose to implement the
