The Contra Costa County Department of Agriculture and the Division of Weights and Measures are two entities intertwined at this location. The Department of Agriculture is responsible for running many statewide programs through a combination of education, outreach and enforcement. Some programs include pest exclusion, pest detection, pesticide use enforcement, export, pest management and quality control.
The Weights and Measurement Division sets the precedence for correct weights, measuring and timing devices for businesses with the intent of promoting fair packaging and business practices.
