Letter of Non-Objection for Vegetation Mapping

The California State Lands Commission has issued a Letter of Non-Objection authorizing pedestrian and vehicle access across state-owned land along existing roads to conduct vegetation classification and mapping surveys. This authorization permits authorized personnel to traverse designated areas to gather ecological data essential for land management and environmental planning, with all activities restricted to existing roadways to minimize disturbance. The permit does not grant new rights of way or construction privileges and is limited to surveying activities only. The notice was posted on May 27, 2026, and is listed as a forecast document with no solicitation number or set-aside classification. The point of contact for inquiries is Sarah Mongano, Senior Environmental Scientist, who can be reached at 916-574-1889 or sarah.mongano@slc.ca.gov. All work must comply with state land use regulations and environmental protections, and no federal funding or procurement action is implied. The project is scoped to occur across various locations in California, with specific access points managed under the Commission’s oversight.
