    Northeastern California Ethanol Manufacturing Feasibility Study Prepared by: Quincy Library Group California Energy Commission -f California Institute of Food and Agricultural Research Plumas Corporation TSS Consultants National Renewable Energy Laboratory November 1997 'tt NREIJTP-580-24676 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The State of California is facedwith severalcritical issues relatedto how its biomassresources are used and managed.In particular,due to suppressionof forestfires, large quantitiesof dead/diseased treesand underbrush have accumulatedin the forest,creating dangerousfuel loadingwhich threatens human life and property. Resultingfires are so intensethat they destroythe forest ecosystem.In addition,the unnaturalecosystem producedby fire suppressionis endangeringforest health. To deal with theseissues, the Quincy Library Group has put forth a plan to strategicallythin the forestsso as to reducefire danger,improve forest health, and restoreecosystem balance. However, a key questionis what will be donewith the smallertrees (both live and dead)once they are removed from the forests. This reportpresents the resultsof onepotential use of the biomass- conversion to fuel ethanol and cogenerated electricity.This option has appeal in that the technologyfor ethanol productionfrom biomass is readyfor demonstrationand the demandfor fuel oxygenates,such as ethanol and ETBE, is growing in California. In addition, thereare synergistic benefits to the existing biomass-electricity industry.Finally, the technologyis ecologicallysound. The Quincy Library

Fire crews continue to provide structure defense throughout communities, constructing and reinforcing control lines, establishing new lines and improving old control lines. Damage assessment is ongoing. Dixie Fire East Zone –The weather inversion continued overnight bringing cooler temperatures, better relative humidity recovery and calmer winds that significantly reduced fire behavior. Firefighters took advantage of the opportunity to safely engage directly along the fire perimeter. The fire slowed its advance northeast, as it is now burning in more sparse fuels within the 2007 Moonlight Fire scar. Crews finished priority strategic firing operations overnight to keep the fire west of Crescent Mills.

  • Smoke Still Hurting Northern California Air Quality, but LNU Fire Isn't Main
    Smoke still hurting Northern California air quality, but LNU Fire isn’t main culprit By Michael McGough Sacramento Bee, Monday, Aug. 31, 2020 The air remained unhealthy in the Sacramento area Monday morning as wildfires continue to burn across Northern California, and some of the morning relief that helped out last week is absent. Monitors from local air quality districts showed AQI readings in the “unhealthy” classification, from 151 to 200, in the early morning hours across the capital region, according to SpareTheAir.com. Pollutant levels are expected to stay in that range most of the day, with the sky already hazy and the smell of smoke apparent outdoors as of 6:30 a.m. A couple of days last week, an overnight Delta breeze helped clear some smoke away from Sacramento and kept AQI readings significantly lower until pollutants rolled in around midday. The weather hasn’t been quite as cooperative this week. The Spare The Air forecast page says that a “strong temperature inversion” combined with onshore winds Sunday increased wildfire pollutant buildup for Sacramento. Poor air quality will persist as northerly winds continue. Smoke has sullied the skies in Northern California for two weeks, ever since dozens of large fires and hundreds of smaller ones sparked during a powerful thunderstorm that brought down thousands of lightning strikes. For much of that stretch, Sacramento’s air pollution has come primarily from the LNU Lightning Complex, which as of Sunday evening had scorched more than 375,000 acres in parts of Napa, Sonoma, Solano, Yolo and Lake counties west of the capital.

Coronavirus is a very deadly virus and has caused a lot of death and suffering throughout the world. Coronavirus can spread by air so it is important for everyone to keep their distance from those who are not part of their family or their household. This resulted in schools closing throughout the world including New Jersey. As in-person schools closed, the classes had to go virtual. Students had to learn a new way of studying and how to deal with studying from home. The schools went virtual initially in March so the end of last year was spent from home for many teachers and students. Since no one was ready for a big change like that, it was very hard for everyone to adjust. Everyone needed to have a computer and internet at home. This is not the case for every student so it may have taken a while for everyone to get going. Once students were able to get online, they had to learn a new learning platform which was different from anything they may have been used to.

    Fueled by winds, Dixie Fire grows by nearly 6,000 acres overnight By Omar Shaikh Rashad San Francisco Chronicle, Tuesday, Aug. 10, 2021 Fanned by gusting winds and low humidity, the Dixie Fire — now the second largest wildfire in California’s history — grew by nearly 6,000 acres overnight Monday. By Tuesday morning, the blaze was reported at 487,764 acres and was 25% contained. The Dixie Fire’s growth Monday was a significant uptick compared to a day earlier, when more favorable conditions prevented the fire’s growth overnight Sunday, according to Cal Fire measurements. Cal Fire reported that thick smoke reduced visibility considerably on the eastern and western sides of the blaze, making firefighting conditions more difficult. The prospect of warming temperatures could aid the fire’s growth in the coming days. So far, the Dixie Fire has destroyed 893 structures and damaged 61 others. More than 16,000 structures remain threatened by the blaze. The fire has no fatalities or injuries among civilians but it has injured three firefighters. Progress made but hot weather could spur California wildfire By Christopher Weber and Jonathan J. Cooper, Associated Press Bakersfield Californian, Tuesday, Aug. 10, 2021 California's largest single wildfire in recorded history kept pushing through forestlands as fire crews tried to protect rural communities from flames that have destroyed hundreds of homes. Thick smoke cleared for several hours along one edge of the Dixie Fire on Monday, allowing aircraft to join nearly 6,000 firefighters in the attack. Many were battling to protect more than a dozen small mountain and rural communities in the northern Sierra Nevada.
