The Caltrans Environmental Compliance Program for local agency partners and consultants is a pilot program developed by the Caltrans Division of Environmental Analysis-Environmental Staff Development branch in partnership with UC Davis Extension to provide local agency partners and consultants with environmental compliance training to aid them in navigating Caltrans’ environmental process. Course content will emphasize Caltrans’ requirements, procedures, and document formats.
The Caltrans Nuts and Bolts of Environmental Document Review course is an interactive workshop that presents tips for reviewing environmental documents that have been prepared for Caltrans approval. Participants will improve their ability to prepare and review NEPA Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Statements for Caltrans. Participants will learn the appropriate forms to use when reviewing an environmental document, including the Environmental Document Quality Control Reviews form and the Environmental Document Review Checklist. Participants also learn about other valuable tools for environmental document review, including the Caltrans Environmental Document Annotated Outlines, comment matrices, and other tools available on the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER).
