IRWMP Projects

IRWMP Current Project List

The Regional Water Management Group has held project solicitations every 2-3 years to add new projects to the Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Plan. The most recent solicitation was held in the Summer 2022 to enable local projects to be eligible for the Proposition 1 Round 2 IRWM Implementation Grant.

The IRWM Plan includes two types of projects: Implementation Projects and Concept Proposals. 

Implementation Projects address a multiple of water resource needs in the region, including water supply, water quality, stormwater management, flood management, and environmental resources. Implementation project proposals are reviewed by the Regional Water Management Group to ensure that they meet minimum IRWM Plan standards, are ranked according to an approved project ranking process, and then approved for inclusion in the IRWM Plan. Click here to download the 2022 Greater Monterey County IRWMP Ranked Project List.

Concept Proposals are ideas submitted by stakeholders for projects that are not quite far enough along in their development to be submitted for grant funding. Concept proposals are not eligible for IRWM grant funds, but are reviewed by the Regional Water Management Group to ensure that they meet minimum IRWM Plan standards.
