| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
| The County was recently approached by representatives of Woodland Biomass Power (WMP) requesting the County urge the California Public Utility Commission’s approval of a recently submitted Advice Letter from Pacific Gas and Electric which would allow WBP to continue operations. Continued operation would not only maintain the current jobs at the facility but also has the potential to reduce wildfire risk by processing dead trees and other potential fire fuels. Staff recommends the Board approve and send the attached letter (Att. A). |
