PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT - ENERGY, MINERALS AND COMPLIANCE DIVISION
The Energy, Minerals and Compliance Division oversees oil and gas activities offshore Santa Barbara County, the onshore facilities that support those offshore operations, onshore oil and gas development, surface mining, and renewable energy projects. Our oversight includes planning, policy development, permit processing, environmental review, permit compliance, and public outreach. Our purpose is to provide comprehensive review of permit applications, condition compliance, implement mitigation programs, and respond to various policy issues. We do this in a spirit of cooperation with a variety of agencies with which we share jurisdiction over the projects we permit and regulate for compliance.
