15. Funding $$$$

16. Financing/ Water Project Loans Low Interest Loans for Water Projects (2.75% for ag) – Rehabilitation – Dam Safety Restrictions – New or Increased Storage – Purchase of Water Rights 424 Project Authorized Since 1971 $704M in Loan Funds Approved To-date 50 Projects in Design/Const. - $331M

17. Severance Tax Trust Fund Perpetual Base Account Construction Fund & CWCB is Self-Supporting General Fund $0 $ CWCB’s Funds

18. CWCB REVOLVING FUNDS 1.Construction Fund – Principal & Interest from Loans, Treasury Interest & Federal Mineral Lease. 2.Severance Tax Perp. Base Fund Principal & Interest from Loans, Treasury Interest, and 25% of all Severance Tax.

19. $130M transferred FY09/10 Legislative Cash Transfers

22. Program Impacts - CWCB No New Loans 2010, 2011, - ? No New Statewide or Basin Grants No New Studies Compact Compliance Limited Resources for Satellite Monitor and Stream Gauge Monitoring and Decision Support System

23. Program Impacts – (SEO) Stream Gauge Monitoring Program at Risk Reduced SEO Funding Levels: – 2,900 Dams/Reservoir – 1,904 Jurisdictional – 118,000 AF of Restricted Storage Statewide – 243 SWSP’s reviewed 2008 – 5,600 Well Permit Applications Reviewed – 1,174 Small/Large Capacity Well Permits Issue – Adm. of 14M AF of Annual Surface Diversions

24. Other Funding Options Water and Power Development Authority USDA Rural Development Natural Resources Conservation Service Department of Local Affairs Federal Projects

25. Summary Water shortage is not just a 2030/50 Issue Conservation, Re-use, Alt. Transfer Methods Additional Storage Rehabilitation of Existing Infrastructure Funding and Impacts Get Involved
