Subject: Draft Environmental Document for Public Review

Attention: Government Documents Section

The California Fish and Game Commission is the lead agency for a project to modify existing hunting regulations for migratory game birds. The Department of Fish and Wildlife has prepared a draft environmental document pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

CEQA §15087 (g) provides direction to lead agencies to deliver draft environmental documents to the County Clerks for posting or making available to the public online or in their public viewing area.

Because hunting regulations are statewide, the public in virtually all counties should have access to the review and analysis of the proposed project.

Enclosed is a copy of the Draft Environmental Document Regarding Migratory Game Bird Hunting (Waterfowl, Coots, Moorhens) prepared by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in compliance with CEQA.

To provide the public with an opportunity to review and comment on the proposals contained in this document, please make it available for public review until April 9, 2026.

If you have any questions regarding this request, please contact me at the letterhead address or by email at Waterfowlmgmt@wildlife.ca.gov.

Sincerely,

Melanie Weaver, Waterfowl Coordinator Wildlife Branch
