Public Resources Code, section 614, subdivision (b) <br /> authorizes the Department to provide soil conservation advisory services to local <br /> governments, including review of CEQA documents. <br /> Protection of the state's agricultural land resources is part of the Department's mission <br /> and central to many of its programs.
