2015 Prop. 84 IRWM Implementation Grant
In late 2015, the Inyo-Mono IRWM Program (through Desert Mountain Resource Conservation & Development as the grantee) was awarded $1,816,943 to support six implementation projects, four of which are located in disadvantaged communities. This grant is the final round of funding through Proposition 84. After working with DWR to secure a grant agreement, these projects are getting underway as of late 2016/early 2017.
