The RCD can assist landowners and partner organizations with development and application for programmatic or individual project permits for natural resource management projects in Monterey County. RCD staff are familiar with the array of state, federal and local agency permits and procedures needed for project implementation and can also provide project oversight and reporting for permit requirements once work has started. The RCD has developed multiple permit coordination programs in the past and continues to pursue development of new, similar programs in partnership with statewide efforts among RCDs and Sustainable Conservation.

- Development of project descriptions and CEQA documentation
