1. Proposition 4 Grant Planning Is Underway — Member Agency Project Ideas Requested Soon EKI is screening and ranking projects for a potential joint Proposition 4 Sustainable Groundwater Management (SGM) grant application. An application is capped at $15 million; the TACs did not select a project bundle or approve a funding request. Concept proposals are expected to open in February 2027. GSA member agencies with potential recharge, conjunctive use, storage, banking or other groundwater-sustainability projects should contact EKI soon. A two-week turnaround for ideas was discussed, but no formal cutoff was set. Projects must be completable within five years of an award, and readiness will affect their scores. Projects will be scored as a package, so weaker candidates could lower the application’s overall score.
