DSL provides agency-maintained vehicles, field gear reimbursement, and travel expenses for authorized work-related travel and fieldwork.

Policy Development and Support. Interpret and explain pertinent laws, rules, regulations, policies and procedures to the public, government officials, and agency personnel. Recommend policy and rule changes, including internal and interagency coordination.

Agency Representation. Serve as a Department representative at meetings and hearings, communicate to members of the public, internal and external parties and industry professionals, and develop education and outreach materials.
