NEW HOURS OF OPERATION

As a cost saving measure, EPD will be closed on Fridays beginning August 14th, 2009.

Our hours of operation are from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday - Thursday, effective August 13.

The Environmental Programs Department (EPD), under the Transportation and Land Management Agency (TLMA) umbrella, was recently created by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors to administer several complex environmental programs that came to the forefront in the past decade.

EPD is responsible for overseeing implementation programs for three regional habitat conservation plans and insuring consistency with the County's existing land development process. EPD also administers other specialized County programs.

EPD's administrative, technical, and support staff work with members of the community to ensure compliance with the County's conservation policies. EPD staff also work closely with other County Departments as well as local, state, and federal entities to develop and implement regional environmental procedures.

Sincerely,
Carolyn Syms Luna
EPD Director
