Environmental Review Process
As lead agency, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the proposed Land Management Plan (LMP) for the San Jacinto Wildlife Area. The DEIR has been prepared to provide the public, responsible agencies, and trustee agencies with information about the potential environmental effects of implementation of the SJWA LMP.
Public Review: The draft LMP and the DEIR are available for public review and comment for a period of 45 days, beginning on December 15, 2017 and ending on January 29, 2018, at 5 p.m.
