Hydrilla Eradicarion Project: The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a Grant Agreement to California Department of Food & Agriculture under the authority of Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) 15.533, California Water Security and Environmental Enhancement. Estimated total amount of Agreement is $396,000.00. Reclamation is providing $132,000.00 in Fiscal Year 2017. The purpose of this project will be detection and eradication of Hydrilla verticillata. Hydrilla has a direct benefit to the public by maintaining open water ways within California. There is a direct benefit to fish, wildlife, recreation and potentially agriculture all of which serve a public purpose.
