Notice: Emergency Actions for Streams and Rivers

Notice regarding Executive Order N-13-25.

Executive Order N-13-25 issued on January 20, 2025, suspended certain statutory and regulatory requirements to expeditiously complete cleanup and repair projects related to the 2025 fire events in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. This suspension applies to specific emergency projects as outlined in the Executive Order for 90 days.

On January 7, 2025, Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency in Los Angeles and Ventura counties due to fire and windstorm conditions that have now caused multiple fires, including the Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, Sunset, and Woodley Fires. On January 20, 2025, the Governor issued Executive Order EO N-13-25 which suspended, for 90 days, certain statutory and regulatory requirements to expeditiously complete cleanup and repair projects related to the fires, and to mitigate risks prior to the start of the rainy season. This suspension includes Fish and Game Code section 1600 et seq.

This suspension applies to emergency-response activities by federal, state, or local agencies, or individuals or entities performing work at those agencies’ direction, necessary to prevent, contain, or otherwise reduce the impacts of flooding, landslides, mudslides, debris flows, or similar hazards within, or originating from, the areas burned by 2025 fires in Los Angeles County.
