What do you think should be studied as the county

examines the environmental impacts of land use over the next 20 years?

• Examples:
  • Climate Change
  • Drought
  • Extreme/year round fire season
  • GHG emissions/inventory
  • impacts from ongoing/proposed expansion of fossil fuel extraction - air quality, risking water resources, contributing to global warming, public health/environmental justice

The county is updating the document that governs all land use for the next 20 years. That process requires an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and the "scoping" phase is when the public gets to weigh in on what should be part of the EIR. 

HERE is the County's "Notice of Preparation" and technical information about the scoping phase. 

Jan 30 is the public hearing, at the Government Center in the "multi-purpose public conference room" or you can submit written comments no later than February 19 at 5pm to:

Ventura County Resource Management Agency, Planning Division

Ventura, CA 93009-1740

Or you can email your comments to: Susan Curtis at susan.curtis@ventura.org or fax
them to her attention at (805) 654-2509.
