Emergency Creek & Private Bridge Permitting Assistance (11/7)

Do you have a bridge that was damaged in the fire? Please join us at the upcoming Sonoma County Permit Coordination Meetings.

When: Tuesday the November 7 and Wednesday, November 8 beginning at 10:30 AM. A third meeting will be scheduled on November 28 at 10:00 AM and will include a brief presentation of regulatory boundaries and the basics of emergency permitting.

If your bridge was damaged or destroyed in the fire, you qualify for emergency permits. Sonoma County is hosting project coordination meetings to review and guide projects through the environmental and regulatory permit process.

These meetings are intended to provide a forum for emergency construction and debris removal projects. Landowners can share their creek projects for help from staff and with permitting agencies. Assistance from regulators can help you design and implement projects that have minimal impacts to natural resources while achieving your goals. Landowners are invited to ask questions or submit permit application if they have drawings and plans.

Property owners can also get assistance from representatives from state and federal agencies including County of Sonoma, Regional Water Quality Control Board, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
