Emergency ResponseThe CalEPA Emergency Response Management Committee (ERMaC) coordinates preparedness for and responses to environmental emergencies in California under assigned statutory authorities. ERMaC is comprised of appointed representatives and alternates from each board, department and office and is chaired by an appointee of the Agency Secretary.
EnforcementThe goals of California’s environmental laws cannot be achieved without compliance. To achieve compliance, CalEPA uses many tools including education, inspection and enforcement. This site has information on who enforces California’s environmental laws, training opportunities, and enforcement guidance documents.
Environmental Justice — Justicia AmbientalCalEPA and our boards, departments, and office accord the highest respect and value to every individual and community, by developing and conducting our public health and environmental protection programs, policies, and activities in a manner that promotes equity and affords fair treatment, accessibility, and protection for all Californians, regardless of race, age, culture, income, or geographic location.
Intergovernmental Relations California has long been a leader in pioneering environmental solutions that provide economic benefits, spurring other governments to take similar actions. California shares its expertise with national and subnational governments around the world, allowing the state to maximize the benefits of its programs and policies and be a positive force for enhanced environmental efforts worldwide. The Intergovernmental Relations Program at the California Environmental Protection Agency facilitates the state’s intergovernmental relations.
Loans and GrantsCalEPA offers funding opportunities authorized by legislation to assist public and private entities in the safe and effective management of environmental protection. Use the list to access more detailed information about the individual loan and grant programs currently offered. Downloadable listing (PDF)
Refinery SafetyCalEPA formed an Interagency Task Force on Refinery Safety in August 2013. The Task Force membership includes ten state agencies, U.S. EPA, and local agencies from areas of the state that contain refineries. We will work collaboratively to achieve the highest possible level of safety for refinery workers and local communities, and prepare for and effectively respond to emergencies if they occur.
Tribal RelationsCalEPA and its Boards, Departments, and Office are committed to improving our communication and working relationships with California Native American Tribes. To achieve this goal, CalEPA adopted its Policy on Consultation with California Native American Tribes (PDF).

Parks, Access, and Other
Programs
Makes a Few Targeted Reductions to Other
Programs. The budget includes General Fund reductions to a
few other programs, mostly in the areas of parks and access. (The
allocations to most of these programs were not included in a defined
programmatic budget package but rather funded as stand-alone proposals.)
Specifically, the budget reduces General Fund support for:

The Department of Parks and Recreation’s (Parks’) Statewide Parks
Program ($183 million across several years, retaining
$197 million).
Parks’ deferred maintenance projects ($31 million in 2021‑22,
retaining $138 million).
CNRA’s Recreational Trails and Greenways Program ($25 million in
2022‑23, retaining $10 million).
DOC’s Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation Program
($25 million in 2022‑23, which eliminates the recent General Fund
support for the program).
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s
(CalFire’s) deferred maintenance projects ($13 million in 2021‑22,
retaining $37 million).
SCC’s Explore the Coast program ($1 million in 2021‑22, retaining
For Schools
Through an integrated set of programs and media resources, it builds public understanding about the deep and inextricable connections we have with the natural world, shaping the very attitudes, behaviors and public policies that will guide our nation toward a sustainable future. The project is dedicated to creating a new climate of stewardship in California.

California Environmental Education Interagency Network
The California Environmental Education Interagency Network (CEEIN) is a state government consortium of environmental educators representing departments, boards and commissions of various state agencies.  CEEIN partnership provides a forum for its members to share resources, programs and materials with California's public schools and students in grades kindergarten through university.

Environmental Justice Program

What is Environmental Justice?
The principles of environmental justice call for fairness, regardless of race, color, national origin or income, and the meaningful involvement of community in the development of laws and regulations that affect every community’s natural surroundings, and the places people live, work, play and learn.
California was one of the first states in the nation to codify environmental justice in statute.
For Schools
The Summer Learning Program engages K-12 educational communities and community organizations that offer summer programming for underserved student populations. Students have the opportunity to visit a participating California state park for a day or overnight immersive program exploring the outdoors and cultural and natural resources of the park.
   
Other Environmental Education Programs
You might be surprised at the numerous and varied environmental education programs available--and at how many have information available on-line. Please visit our Links for Schools page for more information on programs outside of State Parks.
Teacher's Guides
Many California State Parks have Teacher's Guides available for educators interested in helping their students get more out of their park experience. Our Guides for Educators page has a selection of guides that are available in electronic format. As more guides are created, or converted to electronic format, we'll continue adding to this page. Additionally, be sure to check the individual page for the specific park you're intersted to see if they have posted information for teachers.We also realize that teachers may find it useful to review transcripts for videos shown in our parks in advance of a visit in order to determine if watching a video will be of use to their students. To view transcripts for many of the videos shown in state parks, visit our Video Transcripts page.

Reduces Three Programs. Figure 10 displays the revised
multiyear funding package for activities to respond to the climate
threat of extreme heat. As shown, the budget maintains $494 million,
which represents about two-thirds of the amount originally included in
prior-year funding agreements ($739 million). The net reduction of
$245 million (including $125 million in 2023‑24) is spread across three
programs—Urban Greening, Extreme Heat and Community Resilience, and
Urban Forestry. The majority of the reduction ($175 million) affects the
Urban Greening Program administered by CNRA, which is left with
$75 million.

About — California Climate Investments
Any program that is paid for using money from the GGRF is a California Climate Investments program.Once State agencies receive funds, they conduct a variety of tasks such as engaging communities, determining the type of projects to fund, releasing and reviewing project proposals, and carefully selecting recipients. Awarded recipients then implement projects based on criteria and timelines developed by the State agency.

How California Climate Investments Flow to CommunitiesTo provide a clear and consistent approach for tracking and reporting funds, California Climate Investments reach communities through the steps outlined in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows working definitions for terms used to report outcomes from California Climate Investments and the amount of funding by status, progressing from when funds are initially appropriated by the Legislature through the implemented stage. As of November 2023, the sale of State‑owned allowances through Cap‑and‑Trade auctions have generated $27.9 billion for the GGRF. The Legislature appropriated $3.8 billion to administering agencies for Fiscal Year 2023‑24, bringing the cumulative total of appropriations to $27.9 billion. View detailed information on the agencies and programs that received money from the GGRF.California Climate Investments projects implemented $1.7 billion from December 2023 through the end of November 2023. This brings the implemented total to nearly $11.0 billion. View Reports and Data to learn more about yearly and cumulative investments.

How California Climate Investments Benefit CaliforniansThe portfolio of California Climate Investments programs is designed to facilitate greenhouse gas emissions reductions while providing environmental, economic, and public health benefits. From affordable housing to clean transportation, urban greening to sustainable agriculture, waste diversion to technical assistance, and more, the diversity of program types reflects the many sector approaches needed to effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide benefits to Californians across the state.Learn More About Programs and Projects Program pages highlight available funding opportunities, share information about each program’s focus, and provide data that summarize implemented dollars, benefits to priority populations, jobs created, pollution reductions, and more.The Project Map shows the location of California Climate Investments projects across the state and an overview of the benefits they provide.Explore the Data Dashboard to learn about additional outcomes from program investments across the state, such as co-benefits and community events.

How California Climate Investments Benefit Priority PopulationsSenate Bill 535 and Assembly Bill 1550 require that a minimum of 35% of California Climate Investments benefit priority populations, which include disadvantaged communities and low‑income communities and households. Programs provide a variety of benefits to priority populations, including cleaner air, increased mobility options, greener communities, expanded access to clean energy, and new employment opportunities. In total, 76%, or $8.1 billion+, of implemented California Climate Investments project funding is benefiting priority populations, greatly exceeding the statutory requirement. Learn more about Priority Populations.

Learn MoreThe Annual Report to the Legislature on California Climate Investments Using Cap‑and‑Trade Auction Proceeds is a key resource for tracking progress on the status and outcomes of California Climate Investments. This report provides cumulative and annual outcomes including fiscal information, estimates of greenhouse gas emissions reductions and co-benefits from project investments, statistics on benefits to priority populations, program accomplishments, and more. Throughout the report, project highlights demonstrate how these funds are improving lives across the state. The appendices provide summary statistics, budgetary expenditures, and data on leveraged funds and competitive proposals.

History of DECOn April 22, 1970, Governor Nelson Rockefeller signed legislation to create the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and marked our first Earth Day. On July 1, 1970, we opened the doors to this newly formed agency.New York has made remarkable progress in reducing air, land and water pollution, protecting 1.5 million acres of open space for future generations, and assisting the recovery of the bald eagle and sturgeon from virtual extirpation.While New York's air, water and land are cleaner today, we still face several environmental challenges, including climate change which poses an existential threat to our way of life. As we look back and take stock of our accomplishments, we also look forward to building upon our successes and tackling these challenges in the next 50 years.You can read the full timeline (PDF) tracing DEC's history and various environmental milestones throughout the decades.

Contact DEC

Your DEC regional office is the first place to call with specific questions such as how to obtain and renew DEC permits and how to find the best places to hunt, fish and enjoy the outdoors or to report issues involving environmental problems.
