Financial Assistance Programs – Grants and Loans - CLEAN BEACHES INITIATIVE GRANT PROGRAM | California State Water Resources Control Board Financial Assistance Programs – Grants and Loans Clean Beaches Initiative Grant Program The CBI Grant Program has provided funding for projects that restored and protected the water quality and the environment of coastal waters, estuaries, bays, and near shore waters.
The CBI Grant Program was initiated in response to the poor water quality and significant exceedances of bacterial indicators revealed by Assembly Bill (AB) 411 (Stats. 1997, Ch. 765) monitoring at California's beaches.
