Lassen County Public Notices for the week of 5/23/17

PSREC 2017 PUBLIC NOTICE

Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative will be conducting inspections of its facilities throughout 2017. Specific vegetation management projects planned within the timbered portions of its service area include but are not limited to, Chandler Road, the Cromberg area, Spring Garden area, Graeagle, and Mabie/Delleker. We will also be inspecting for trees and other vegetation in proximity to the power lines as required by the California Public Resource Code Section 4293. Trees that come in contact with power lines are a major cause of outages on our system. PSREC strives to strike a healthy balance between our appreciation for trees and our obligation to provide safe, reliable electric service. Through our tree trimming program, we redirect tree growth away from power lines and remove any damaged or diseased trees so we can limit potential damage to the power lines which could be caused by extreme weather conditions. If a tree grows too fast or if its proximity to power lines is a threat to our electric system, our experts will trim the growth away from our equipment. Our vegetation management is conducted following best management practices defined in ANSI A300 Part 7 (ANSI 2012) and the ISA companion publication to the ANSI A300 Standards (ISA 2007).

Currently PSREC is doing a comprehensive mapping/inspection project that encompasses the entire service area. These inspections are part of our ongoing work to provide our members with safe, reliable electric service. We will be inspecting electrical equipment as required by California General Orders 95 and 128 and determining the location and condition of our infrastructure. PSREC personnel require access to all of its facilities including meters. PSREC employees will have company ID with them.

Diamond Mountain Watershed Restoration and WUI Project

USDA Forest Service

Lassen National Forest

Eagle Lake Ranger District

Lassen County, California

Notice for Opportunity to Comment:

The Eagle Lake Ranger District (ELRD) of the Lassen National Forest (LNF) is initiating scoping for the Diamond Mountain Watershed Restoration and WUI Project (hereafter Diamond Mountain Project). The project area encompasses 8,195 acres of National Forest System lands administered by the ELRD, LNF. The project area is located located 7 miles south of Susanville, CA; 2 miles west from Janesville, CA, and abuts the Plumas National forest on the south.

The Diamond Mountain Project is intended to implement the Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment (SNFPA) FSEIS and ROD (2004), as amended. The project area was considered to evaluate opportunites to implement hazardous fuel reduction treatments, as well as watershed restoration and forest health activities within a high priority WUI. Variable density thinning, tree removal, and prescribed burning are proposed in oreder to meet fuels and vegetation management objectives. Additionally, this project would improve ecological sustainability, increase public and firefighter safety, and stimulate economic activity in timber dependent communities. Within the project area, combinations of mechanical harvesting and hand thinning would be used.
