Meetings and announcements

Join Us for Open House Meetings on Environmental Resource Permitting!

The District will be offering two opportunities to attend our Open House, where we will share important updates and information on Environmental Resource Permitting (ERP). These meetings provide a unique chance to engage directly with the District’s regulatory management team and offer feedback on permitting processes, new practices and other topics that matter to you.
