What is the schedule for finishing the PTEIR?
The California state fiscal crisis led to a 10-month interruption in the project, while state bond funding was suspended from December 2008 to September 2009. Thereafter, we finished revising the Project Description to reflect the public comments we received during our “scoping” period as well as consultation with CAL FIRE on maintaining robust timber inventory on logged parcels. The Administrative Draft of the PTEIR was submitted to CAL FIRE in November 2010, with comments received in February 2011, and the public draft released on May 20, 2011. This Draft is to further public comment and input. The Final PTEIR is scheduled to be released in summer 2011, with the first PTHPs being filed in late summer or early fall of 2011.
