TAKES A LITTLE TIME: If you are requesting a short-term Standard Agreement (5 years or less), CDFW has up to 30 calendar days to determine if the notification is complete. Once CDFW determines the notification is complete, CDFW has up to 60 calendar days to issue a draft Standard Agreement or a letter stating an agreement is not needed. These timelines do not apply to long-term Standard Agreement requests (greater than 5 years).
CDFW works with individuals to develop a site- and project- specific Standard Agreement. CDFW may need to conduct a site visit.
Avoid Delays: Submit a complete notification with all of the requested information and a detailed project description. CDFW will ask for additional information if the notification is incomplete. Learn more about the 10 common causes for delays (PDF).
