 Urban Streams Restoration Program

Working Together To:

  • Restore Watersheds
  • Reduce Property Damages
  • Renovate Town Centers

The objectives of the Urban Streams Restoration Program are to assist communities in reducing damages from stream bank and watershed instability and floods while restoring the environmental and aesthetic values of streams, and to encourage stewardship and maintenance of streams by the community.

The USRP provides grants for a variety of activities, including the following: creek cleanups, eradication of exotic or invasive plants; revegetation efforts; bioengineering bank stabilization projects; channel reconfiguration to improve stream geomorphology and aquatic habitat functions; acquisition of parcels critical for flood management; and coordination of community involvement in projects.

With voter approval of Proposition 84, the Urban Streams Restoration Program will have available grant fundng. Proposition 84 includes $18 million for the Urban Streams Restoration Program. DWR anticipates holding the first of two application cycles in early 2008. Please check this website periodically for updates.

For information on funded projects, please see our Funded Projects page. If you wish to see a past grant funding solicitation package for reference, please see our Application Cycle page. If you would like information on other State programs administering Proposition 40 funds and project award information, visit The Resources Agency's Proposition 40 Project Awards Website.
