Welcome to Environmental Health Services
The mission of the Environmental Health Services Division of the Community Development Agency is to protect and promote the public's health and well being through community education, permit issuance and inspections. The Environmental Health Services Division's programs include consumer protection programs (retail food facilities, public swimming pools and spas, multiple housing units) and land use activities (on-site sewage disposal and drinking water). Our solid waste program deals with open and closed landfills and transfer stations.

- Development Permit Extensions
Due to the current economic downturn and in an effort to assist the public, Brian Crawford, CDA Director, has administratively authorized the extension of one year for unvested development permits that will expire between July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2010.
Septic permits, domestic water permits, and well construction permits that would have expired on or after July 1, 2009 and up through June 30, 2010, will be extended for one year with no additional fees required. Requests for permit extensions with the reason for the extension must be received in writing prior to a permit extension. Please note that environmental well permits are not development permits and will not be extended. Geotechnical borings for building foundations will be extended but geotechnical borings for environmental investigations will not be extended.

Forms
- Submit a Complaint
This form may be used to submit a public health complaint to Environmental Health Services (EHS). EHS responds to citizen complaints concerning specific public health issues.
Typically, these complaints involve food facilities, rental housing, public swimming pools, septic systems, water wells and the Redwood Sanitary Landfill.
Complaints in other areas of public health may be handled by EHS or the complainant may be referred to another agency. Anonymous complaints may receive no action by EHS. Emergency complaints (food-borne illness, sewage spill, etc.) may be phoned into EHS at 415-499-6907 for immediate response.
