We strive to maintain all information at applicable accessibility levels, but some content – including older documents, streaming video and archived materials – provides value to our website visitors but may not be fully accessible as of July 1, 2019. The Natural Resources Agency continues to work diligently to make that content accessible.
If you have difficulty accessing any material on our website, please contact us and we will correct the problem or work to provide the information in an alternative format. You can report web accessibility problems by sending an email to accessibility@resources.ca.gov.
