3.09 Letter in Support of Assembly Bill (AB) 2878 - Forest Biomass Waste
Utilization Program (Aguiar-Curry)
On April 18, 2022 the Assembly Natural Resources Committee passed AB
2878, which helps achieve the State's forest health and wildfire risk
P-01 reduction goals by increasing the productive use of forest waste through
energy generation and wood products manufacturing. Rural County
Representatives of California (RCRC) is co -sponsoring the measure with
Page 6 of 40
the Placer County Air Pollution Control District (APCD). AB 2878 was
substantially amended in Assembly Appropriations Committee on May Ma"
19, 2022 and some provisions were removed from the bill that RCRC and
Placer County APCD are trying to get put back in the bill with the
assistance of the League of California Cities. These include a BioMAT
provision as well as provisions to facilitate better data and reporting on
utility -caused wildfire emissions. As it is written now, AB 2878 helps
achieve the State's forest health and wildfire risk reduction goals by
increasing the productive use of forest waste through energy generation
and wood products manufacturing. The Forest Biomass Waste Utilization
Program will help drive increased utilization of forest biomass waste for
both energy production and wood products manufacturing. It will also
help develop a workforce training program to create local jobs and meet
labor demands. By coordinating and weaving the State's various
carbon/forest health/greenhouse gas scoping plans together, AB 2878
will help create more consistency across various State agencies and
hopefully bring more resources to bear on the biomass front. The bill
also requires more reports and assessments on the role that forest
biomass can play in creating firm baseload renewable power and what
existing programs can be changed to drive utilization of forest biomass
waste, including to support rural microgrids and the grid at large .

Council of California for the Juvenile Court Remodel in Oroville
On August 19, 2008, the County transferred all Court facilities to the

established by the California Transportation Commission (CTC), a list of
proposed projects that the RMRA funds will be used for must be

and high-priority road repairs. (Public Works)

address all areas within the City's Sphere of Influence (SOI) and entered
into a contract with Wood Rogers for a maximum not -to -exceed amount
of $1,032,237. The Master Plan encompasses a shared jurisdiction

required. The terms of the Agreement require the County to reimburse
the City 12.96% of the total project costs for a total of $133,778. Under

Rehabilitation Project. The project will consist of replacing existing
asphalt concrete with new asphalt concrete on Pentz Road from Highway
70 to Paradise Town limits, approximately 200 feet south of Malibu
Drive. The total length of the project is approximately six miles. The
revised engineer's estimate for construction is $3,563,177, which is a
decrease of approximately $600,000. The reduction in the engineer's
estimate is due to culvert repair work being removed from the scope of
work for the project. The Department advertised the project on April 7,

On May 24, 2022, the Board of Supervisors considered the Department

and directed staff to update the Strategic Plan. As part of the Strategic
Plan discussion, the Department posed six questions regarding its level
of involvement in various activities for the Board's consideration and
direction. A summary of the changes is included in the memorandum

various Department Activities, the Board provided direction regarding
administration of the Vina and Wyandotte Creek GSAs and, to a lesser
degree, the Butte GSA. The Board discussion included the Department's
role in each GSA as well as each GSA's need for continued administration
by member agency staff and their need for long-term financing. The
Board expressed its desire that the Vina and Wyandotte Creek GSAs
become self-sustaining and financially viable entities with minimal
County support in the long-term. However, given the timeline of when
funds would likely be available to the GSAs, the Board directed staff to
draft a work plan and request for additional resources for the next one
to two years to assist the GSAs. The Department prepared a work plan
and associated budget estimate for each GSA that would allow the
Department to continue to provide administrative support services to
the GSAs for fiscal year 2022-23. Additional resources would allow the
GSAs to: 1) apply for grant funding for data gaps projects and projects
and management actions as identified in the Groundwater Sustainability
Plans; 2) prepare the required Annual Reports due April 1, 2023; and 3)
identify and implement long-term funding options that would allow the
Page 33 of 40
fmIn Vina and Wyandotte Creeks GSAs to fund themselves and ensure
Sustainable Groundwater Management Act compliance. The Department
recommends the Board approve the Strategic Plan and direct staff to add
$464,465 in Schedule A adjustments to the fiscal year 2022-23
Recommended Budget consistent with the proposed work plan and
budget. (Water and Resource Conservation)
Action requested - 1) APPROVE STRATEGIC PLAN; AND 2) PROVIDE
