Permitting Assistance

Project activities may require permits due to possible effects on individual biological resources or due to a project's location within sensitive planning areas like the Coastal Zone or Significant Ecological Areas (SEAs). Biological Permit Acquisition can also result from activities which surpass specific limits, such as an activity that may impact water quality or disturb native habitat. Agencies that provide permits required to meet CEQA and NEPA requirements include: California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), California Coastal Commission (CCC), United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), California State Lands Commission (CSLC), and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
