General Information
The Environmental Planning section identifies, plans, and implements environmental and open space protection policies consistent with state and federal regulations. The goal is to preserve and enhance the quality of life in the County by encouraging sustainable development practices that preserve the County’s critical natural resources and unique environmental character.
Specifically, staff are responsible for developing plans for the County’s watersheds, the coastal zone, open space and parks, sewage facilities, and hazard mitigation needs. Environmental planners offer technical support and assistance to municipalities pursuing environmental protection efforts and recommend improvements.
