The US-LT RCD was established in 1951 as a special local district, authorized under Division 9 of the California Public Resources Code. RCDs are political subdivisions of the State of California, set up to be locally governed agencies with their own locally appointed or elected board of directors.

The US-LTRCD is part of a network of RCDs that provide transparency in their projects through the RCD Project Tracker.  If you are interested to see what projects the US-LTRCD has underway and where they occur, click on the interactive map below.
