SRFB
Funding Round for the Yakima Basin
The
Yakima Basin Fish & Wildlife Recovery Board and LE has now completed
the 2009 SRFB grant process for the Yakima Basin. The list of projects recommended for funding
is included in the 2009 LE List below.
The SRFB state review panel will evaluate the projects, and the
final funding decision will be December 10-11. Since 1999, this program has provided
a total of $9.8 million to 52 different projects in the Yakima
Basin. Examples of successful
projects include providing fish passage and screening at small irrigation
diversions, planting riparian areas, acquiring and protecting land with
high priority fish habitat, restoring natural stream channel functions, and
promoting fish-friendly agricultural practices, and much more. Applications must go through a rigorous
review run by the Board and meet all state requirements for the SRFB
program. A report outlining the
entire YBFWRB process for 2009 is highlighted below.
