Regulatory Permits for Farm Bill Projects Jackie Charbonneau, Ecologist Natural Resources Conservation Service September 20, 2012

Why Do We Need Permits? NRCS requires compliance with applicable regulations & laws for projects that we fund

When Do We Need Permits? Potentially impacting a T&E Species or their habitat – CA red-legged frog – CA tiger salamander – Alameda whipsnake Altering a creek or drainage Discharging sediment into a drainage Impacting a wetland

NRCS Projects that Usually Require Permits Pond restoration (desilting, spillway repair, etc.) Stream restoration Livestock water development (Spring development, pipeline, tanks & troughs, etc.) Erosion control (access road improvements, culvert improvements, etc.)

NRCS Projects that Usually Require Permits

Agencies that May Require Permits/Authorization Alameda County – Grading Army Corps of Engineers Regional Water Quality Control Board US Fish and Wildlife Service CA Department of Fish and Game State Water Board (water rights)

The Good News NRCS and ACRCD can help YOU with the permits!

How ACRCD/NRCS Can Help with Permits NRCS is responsible for Federal ESA Consultation – Programmatic Biological Opinion (BO) expected soon ACRCD - coverage for State Listed species – Voluntary Local Program (VLP) expected soon NRCS is responsible for Army Corps Permit – Nationwide Permits (NWP’s), Exemptions Other permits are landowner’s responsibility, but we can help with project facilitation

Summary Participants that are enrolled in NRCS programs are eligible for assistance with permits NRCS and ACRCD have experience & relationships with regulatory agencies We can help you get good projects on the ground (a little patience is always helpful)
