If a project consists only of Arundo Donax removal with attendant flood channel capacity improvements, is it eligible for funding?
Response: Without knowing more of the project details, arundo removal appears to be an ongoing maintenance problem that would require an ongoing source of maintenance funding to deal with future arundo infestations. A project that might have some possibility of receiving funding would be a restoration project in which arundo would be not only removed, but replaced with native vegetation. Whether such a project would be funded depends on how the merits of the project score in relation to the competing projects. Except for trust funds established for maintenance in conjunction with property acquisitions, grant monies are most appropriately used for one-time capital purchases, rather than recurring expenses.
