VCPWA
Ventura County Public Works Agency Grading Permit: If your project involves moving earth around—
especially in or near a stream or wetland—you will need to get a VCPWA Grading Permit. The Public
Works Agency would utilize a grading permit process to review the proposed grading and drainage plan,
including review and recommendation of specific runoff control measures and Best Management
Practices. Always discuss your project with VCPWA staff to confirm Grading Permit requirements.
