| Projects The East Stanislaus Region currently has 51 projects listed in the IRWM Plan 
database. The projects are reviewed and scored according to the Goals and Objectives criteria established for the 
Region. These submitted projects can be viewed in the OPTI Project Website. As 
part of the 2017 Plan update, the Region will be updating the project database. The DWR schedule anticipates Prop 1 Implementation Grant Applications are 
expected to be due in Spring 2019 with release of the Draft Guidelines and Proposal 
Solicitation Package (PSP) in late 2018. An Implementation Grant would provide 
competitive-based funding to construct qualified projects within the IRWM Region 
for projects included in the IRWM Plan. The East Stanislaus 
2018 IRWM Plan Update has been completed and is currently going through 
adoptions by Partnership agencies. Regional stakeholders wanting participate in 
the next round of Prop 1 Grant funding for their projects included in the IRWM 
Plan would need to adopt the IRWM Plan Update to be eligible to apply for these grant funds. If you are a stakeholder and have not signed up for OPTI, the Region's Online

to discus Project Prioritization. The Region is expecting to announce another 
round of Opti database project updates in fall of 2018 prior to the next grant 
funding round. However, stakeholders can update their project information
