Environmental Notices and Fees

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE CEQA FILING REPOSITORY FOR MONO COUNTY [1]

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was passed in 1970 (Public Resources Code Section 21000-21177) to create a statewide policy of environmental protection. CEQA requires state and local agencies within California to follow a process that informs the public of certain environmental impacts. Environmental impact documents, agendas, and notices are filed with the Mono County Clerk. All notices will be posted within 24 hours of receipt by the Mono County Clerk Office (Public Resources Code 21152(c)).

The Mono County Clerk receives CEQA filings and remits CDFW fees to the State of California as required. The Clerk does not file with the State Clearinghouse. Please see the relevant Lead Agency for your project for questions about filing with the State Clearinghouse.

How to file a CEQA document:

CEQA documents can be filed in person, by mail, or electronically. The Mono County Clerk must receive a complete packet and full payment at the time of filing to process the filing. Incomplete packets will be returned to the sender of filer if appearing in person. 

To file in person, please visit the Mono County Clerk during office hours:

We highly recommend scheduling an appointment prior to showing up to ensure a shorter wait time.
