Updates regarding the important work of RCRC's affiliated entities, providing innovative services for the benefit of rural communities.
On November 7, Golden State Finance Authority approved an extension of the public review period for the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for Golden State Natural Resources’ (GSNR) proposed forest resiliency demonstration project from 60 days to 90 days to allow additional time for review and comment. This DEIR is a key component of the environmental review process for GSNR’s proposed project, which seeks to enhance California’s forest resiliency by sustainably collecting and processing excess biomass. The 90-day public review period, which began on October 22, 2024, will now conclude on January 20, 2025, offering an opportunity for the community to assess and comment on the report's findings and recommendations before its finalization.
"GSNR’s proposed project is crucial for advancing forest treatment efforts in California which will strengthen forest resiliency to catastrophic wildfire and safeguard communities,” said GSNR Board Chair and Inyo County Supervisor Matt Kingsley. “We hope this extension will provide the public with even greater opportunity to participate in the DEIR review process and look forward to hearing from the community regarding this important project.”
