INVASIVE SPARTINA PROJECT <br />Funding for the proposed disbursement of $165,454 for treatment projects and water quality <br />monitoring is expected to be provided under a grant from the United States Environmental <br />Protection Agency's San Francisco Bay Area Water Quality Improvement Fund (EPA) by which <br />EPA may provide funds to the Conservancy for invasive species management accomplished <br />through a coordination of public agencies and nonprofit organizations, and for water quality <br />improvement. As described in the previous paragraph, the project succeeds in a regional <br />coordination of numerous public agencies and non-profit organizations to accomplish removal of <br />invasive Spartina from the San Francisco Estuary while monitoring water quality. <br />The total EPA grant to the Conservancy is in the amount of $172,375. Of this total, $140,454 <br />will be used for 2009 treatment; $25,000 will be used for water quality testing; and the remainder <br />of $6,921 will be used to reimburse the Conservancy for its staff support. <br />B. Breakdown by Grantee of Expected Financing for 2009 Treatment Proiects: <br />Depending on the respective efficacy of the 2008 treatment found at the various project sites, the <br />funding each grantee will receive maybe adjusted among grantees, but with no increase to the <br />total amount authorized. While each grantee previously contributed matching funds and in-kind <br />services meant to cover the 2008 treatment season, all but one will also contribute new matches <br />for the additional funding from the Conservancy for the 2009 treatment season as follows: <br />Grantee <br />San Mateo Co~ Mosquito <br />Abatement District <br />New SCC Funding New Grantee Match <br />$100,000 $30,000 <br />California Wildlife Foundation <br />East Bay Regional Park District <br />Alameda County Flood Control & <br />Water Conservation District <br />City of Alameda <br />City of San Leandro <br />City of Palo Alto <br />Friends of Corte Madera <br />Creek Watershed <br />California Department of Parks <br />$124,454 $0 <br />$85,000 $30,000 <br />$27,000 $6,000 <br />$74,200 $5,000 <br />$15,000 $5,000 <br />$ 2,000 $1,000 <br />$100,800 $21,000 <br />$12,000 $2,000 <br />Page 6 of 8 <br />
