Agency: Natural Resources Line Item: Watershed Function Since 2005 DNR has been working on improving Utah's watershed. The Department partners with other state, federal, and private organizations to accomplish its goals. Until FY 2007 the state funding was appropriated to the DNR Administration program, but for better oversight, the appropriation is now going to the Watershed line item.
Intent Language Under the terms of 63J-1-603 of the Utah Code, the Legislature intends that appropriations provided for Watershed in Item 171, Chapter 2, Laws of Utah 2010, shall not lapse at the close of FY 2011. Expenditures of these funds are limited to projects started in 2011: $700,000. Funding Detail The Legislature made two one-time appropriations of $2 million from the General Fund to DNR in FY 2005 and 2007, as well as intent language allowing the funding to be nonlapsing. With the passage of H.B. 47, 'Sales Tax Diversion for Watershed Projects and Water Financing' in the 2006 General Session, the watershed program received an additional ongoing $500,000 as Dedicated Credits (see Sales Tax Distribution Chart). During the 2007 General Session H.B. 102, 'Land and Water Reinvestment' was passed and additional ongoing $2 million from the General Fund was appropriated to DNR for the watershed program. Subsequently, this funding was reduced. | Sources of Finance | 2008
