The California Strategic Growth Plan
Other Natural Resources
In recent years, California voters have approved a series of bonds to preserve and enhance the state's natural resources. Propositions 12, 13, 40, and 50 have made available a total of $10.1 billion dollars that have been used by local governments and state agencies for a wide variety of activities such as water conservation, acquisition of land to protect wildlife habitats, and restoration of damaged ecosystems.
In November 2006, Proposition 84 was approved by the voters authorizing an additional $5.4 billion in general obligation bonds for water, flood control, natural resources, park, and conservation projects. Proposition 84 will provide the following amounts:
- Drinking water and water quality projects-$1.5 billion
- Flood control, water planning and project design-$900 million
- Protection of rivers, lakes, and streams-$900 million
- Forest and wildlife conservation-$500 million
- Protection of beaches, bays, and coastal waters-$500 million
- Parks and nature education facilities-$500 million
- Sustainable communities and climate change reduction-$600 million
The Resources Agency has developed a multi-year expenditure plan for Proposition 84 based on specific projects and the historical pattern of previous natural resources bond expenditures. The Governor's Budget appropriates $1.1 billion to 18 departments from Proposition 84. For more information on efforts to protect California's natural resources, see the Resources chapter.
