  • Executive Summary
    Preliminary Mitigated Negative Declaration Date: January 9, 2019 Case No.: 2016-006868ENV Project Title: SFPUC Reliable Power Project Project Location: Portions of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Rights of Way in Stanislaus, Mariposa, and Tuolumne Counties Zoning: Various Project Sponsor San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Antonia Sivyer (415) 554-2474 Lead Agency: San Francisco Planning Department Staff Contact: Timothy Johnston – (415) 575-9035 [email protected] PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) proposes to implement the Reliable Power Project (proposed project) for maintaining the reliability of the SFPUC’s electrical transmission system between the Holm and Kirkwood Powerhouses and the Warnerville Substation. The project includes implementation of a long-term vegetation management program that would address the North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s reliability standard (FAC-003) and other regulatory requirements that seek to minimize the risk of power outages and fires from vegetation contact with transmission lines on or near the right of way for electrical transmission lines1. In addition to implementation of the vegetation management program, the proposed project would include repairs and replacements for culverts associated with transmission line access roads and construction of a sand storage shed to stockpile sand for winter road treatments needed for access during winter months. Construction activities associated with the proposed project would occur within existing SFPUC facility and right of way boundaries in Stanislaus County, Mariposa County, and Tuolumne County, and would not require the acquisition of new property. Project implementation involving vegetation management would be ongoing. Construction activities and duration for culvert repair and/or replacement would vary along the transmission corridor, but would be short-term in nature, generally requiring a few of days to a couple of weeks to complete.

Mike Arvizo and firefighter Robert Docis clean homes on Highway 173 that were covered in fire retardant known as Phos-chek during the Pilot Fire. Courtesy Photo Firefighters battling the Pilot fire were busy at work Wednesday in an added effort to help homeowners who left their homes behind under evacuation orders. But they weren’t dousing flames this time. Instead, they were helping residents whose homes were covered in a pink claylike dust called Phos-chek during the firefighting effort. Phos-Chek is an aerial and ground applied chemical retardant for control and management of wildland fires, according to the website of its Rancho Cucamonga-based manufacturer, ICL Performance Products LP. “Our community has come together to support us in many ways,” San Bernardino County Fire Capt. Mike Arvizo said. “This small gesture is a way for us to give back to them.” In some cases Phos-Chek, if not cleaned off quickly, could stain homes and vehicles.

  • This Is How a California Wildfire Can Change Your Homeowners Insurance Rate
    This is how a California wildfire can change your homeowners insurance rate Press Telegram, San Gabriel Valley Tribune Some Southern California residents have seen their insurance rates skyrocket as a result of wildfires. The latest round of fires is fueling concerns that rates may eventually be boosted again. Scores of Southern California residents living in or near the path of the latest wildfires have suffered damage to their homes — or barely avoided it. Will they see their insurance rates go up as a result? Rates may eventually rise, but it won’t happen right away, according to Janet Ruiz, the California representative for the Insurance Information Institute. “Insurance companies don’t react immediately to something like a specific fire,” Ruiz said. “They will look at the last five to 10 years and the history of the area where the homes are.” Insurers consider a variety of factors when considering a rate hike, she said, such as whether a home has a sprinkler system and if the homeowner has cleared brush away from the house. “Some places have what they call ‘fire-wise communities’ where the whole community works together to make sure the land is cleared,” Ruiz said. “Insurance companies will look at things like that as well as the loss history of the area and what other precautions people may have taken to protect their homes.” The average deductible for fire insurance in California ranges from $1,000 to $2,000, although people with more expensive homes and those living in extreme high-risk areas pay around $5,000, according to Ruiz.
