2008-09 GUIDELINES AND APPLICATION
Application deadline: December 22, 2008
The Resources Agency and Caltrans are pleased to announce the joint release of the Guidelines and Application for The Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program.
The Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program (EEMP) was established by the Legislature in 1989. It offers a total of $10 million each year for grants to local, state, and federal governmental agencies and to nonprofit organizations for projects to mitigate the environmental impacts caused by new or modified public transportation facilities. Eligible projects must be directly or indirectly related to the environmental impact of the modification of an existing transportation facility (CA Constitution, Art.XIX, Sec.1) or construction of a new transportation facility.
Grants are awarded in three categories:
Highway Landscape and Urban Forestry -- Projects designed to improve air quality through the planting of trees and other suitable plants.
Resource Lands -- Projects to acquire, restore or enhance watersheds, wildlife habitat, wetlands, forests, or other natural areas.
Roadside Recreation -- Projects to acquire or develop roadside recreational opportunities.
Resource Lands -- Projects to acquire, restore or enhance watersheds, wildlife habitat, wetlands, forests, or other natural areas.

The Guidelines and Application are published by the Resources Agency each year. The Resources Agency evaluates project proposals and provides a list of recommended projects to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for consideration. The Department of Transportation (Caltrans) administers the approved grants.
