II. STATE LEGISLATION / OTHER MATTERS A. NEW LEGISLATION – N/A B. OTHER STATE MATTERS 1. Preview of Next Session Sacramento Advocate Doug Houston will provide a preview about the upcoming legislative session and administrative action, including the state budget, as they relate to the District. 2. Other Matters III. FEDERAL LEGISLATION / OTHER MATTERS A. NEW LEGISLATION - RECOMMENDED BILLS FOR SUPPORT 1. S. 4643 (Shaheen D-NH) – Forest Incentives Program Act Senator Shaheen’s legislation is primarily geared toward private forest owners. It directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish an incentive program encouraging private forest landowners to adopt conservation practices which deliver emissions reductions. The bill also creates financial incentives for commercial building owners to use biological products, such as wood, as structural building materials instead of more energy-intensive materials. These incentives will help private forest owners protect our air, water and wildlife habitat, and capture carbon. While the bill does not directly impact the District, the notion of incentivizing environmentally-conscious forest management techniques is consistent with the District’s Wildfire Hazard Reduction and Resource Management Plan. 2. H.R. 8731 (Panetta D-CA) – Save Our Forests Act of 2020 This bill would require the Department of Agriculture to fill vacancies in National Forests for Forest Service recreation management and planning staff, including recreation technicians, recreation officers and natural resource managers. It prioritizes hiring in areas 1 at high or very high risk of catastrophic wildfire and/or are located near the wildland urban interface. The findings of the legislation point out some impactful statistics: • Between 2015 and 2019, on average, 88% of wildfires in the United States have been human-caused. • Human-caused fires tend to occur in or near the wildland-urban interface, where there is a greater risk to people and communities and a higher cost to suppress fires. • The wildland-urban interface is the fastest-growing land use type in the United States, posing challenges for fire management and suppression. • Over the last ten years, an average of 64,100 wildfires and an average of 6.8 million acres burned annually. In 2019, 50,477 wildfires and 4,700,000 acres burned nationwide. Approximately 65% of these acres burned on Federal land, of which close to 20% or 600,000 acres were National Forest System lands. • The Forest Service suffers from chronic staffing shortages, with several National Forests struggling to maintain their acreage with insufficient recreation management and planning staff. • The U.S. Forest Service manages 20 million acres of National Forest land in California, 20% of all of California’s 100 million acres. Nearly half of California’s 100 million acres are managed by the federal government. While this legislation does not directly impact the District’s lands, it would provide additional staff throughout the state for wildfire mitigation. More support for the National Forest Service would lessen the need for District fire personnel to respond outside of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Representative Mike Thompson is also an original cosponsor of the legislation. 3. H.R. 8746 (Rush D-IL) – RENEW Conservation Corps Act H.R. 8746 is the House version of Senator Dick Durbin S. 4538 on which the District took a support position. This legislation would create a civilian conservation corps aimed at providing valuable job training and work experience to Americans while also completing needed maintenance and restoration of parks, trails and natural areas.

  • Post-Fire Treatment Effectiveness for Hillslope Stabilization
    United States Department of Agriculture Post-Fire Treatment Forest Service Rocky Mountain Effectiveness for Research Station General Technical Hillslope Stabilization Report RMRS-GTR-240 August 2010 Peter R. Robichaud, Louise E. Ashmun, and Bruce D. Sims A SUMMARY OF KNOWLEDGE FROM THE Robichaud, Peter R.; Ashmun, Louise E.; Sims, Bruce D. 2010. Post-fire treatment effectiveness for hill- slope stabilization. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-240. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 62 p. Abstract This synthesis of post-fire treatment effectiveness reviews the past decade of research, monitoring, and product development related to post-fire hillslope emergency stabilization treatments, including erosion barri- ers, mulching, chemical soil treatments, and combinations of these treatments. In the past ten years, erosion barrier treatments (contour-felled logs and straw wattles) have declined in use and are now rarely applied as a post-fire hillslope treatment. In contrast, dry mulch treatments (agricultural straw, wood strands, wood shreds, etc.) have quickly gained acceptance as effective, though somewhat expensive, post-fire hillslope stabilization treatments and are frequently recommended when values-at-risk warrant protection. This change has been motivated by research that shows the proportion of exposed mineral soil (or conversely, the propor- tion of ground cover) to be the primary treatment factor controlling post-fire hillslope erosion. Erosion barrier treatments provide little ground cover and have been shown to be less effective than mulch, especially during short-duration, high intensity rainfall events. In addition, innovative options for producing and applying mulch materials have adapted these materials for use on large burned areas that are inaccessible by road.

In recent years, human rights conditions in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have deteriorated, while bilateral tensions related to trade Michael A. Weber and security have increased, possibly creating both constraints and opportunities for U.S. policy Analyst in Foreign Affairs on human rights. After consolidating power in 2013, Chinese Communist Party General Secretary and State President Xi Jinping intensified and expanded the reassertion of party control over society that began toward the end of the term of his predecessor, Hu Jintao. Since 2017, the government has enacted new laws that place further restrictions on civil society in the name of national security, authorize greater controls over minority and religious groups, and further constrain the freedoms of PRC citizens. Government methods of social and political control are evolving to include the widespread use of sophisticated surveillance and big data technologies. Arrests of human rights advocates and lawyers intensified in 2015, followed by party efforts to instill ideological conformity across various spheres of society. In 2016, President Xi launched a policy known as “Sinicization,” under which the government has taken additional measures to compel China’s religious practitioners and ethnic minorities to conform to Han Chinese culture, support China’s socialist system as defined by the Communist Party, abide by Communist Party policies, and reduce ethnic differences and foreign influences.

Wechsler, Center for American Progress January 2017 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Process Makes Perfect Best Practices in the Art of National Security Policymaking By Kori Schake, Hoover Institution, and William F.

Regardless of their party affiliation or preferred diplomatic priorities, presidents have invariably come to appreciate that they can- not afford to make foreign policy decisions in the same manner as they did when they were a candidate. The requirements of managing an enormous and complex national security bureau- cracy reward careful deliberation and strategic consistency, while sharply punishing the kind of policy shifts that are more common on the campaign trail. Statements by the president are taken far more seriously abroad than are promises by a candidate, by both allies and adversaries alike. And while policy mistakes made before entering office can damage a candidate’s personal political prospects, a serious misstep made once in office can put the country itself at risk.

    Cal Fire: Creek Fire now the largest single wildfire in California history By Joe Jacquez Visalia Times-Delta, Wednesday, September 23, 2020 The Creek Fire is now the largest single, non-complex wildfire in California history, according to an update from Cal Fire. The fire has burned 286,519 acres as of Monday night and is 32 percent contained, according to Cal Fire. The Creek Fire, which began Sept. 4, is located in Big Creek, Huntington Lake, Shaver Lake, Mammoth Pool and San Joaquin River Canyon. Creek Fire damage realized There were approximately 82 Madera County structures destroyed in the blaze. Six of those structures were homes, according to Commander Bill Ward. There are still more damage assessments to be made as evacuation orders are lifted and converted to warnings. Madera County sheriff's deputies notified the residents whose homes were lost in the fire. The Fresno County side of the fire sustained significantly more damage, according to Truax. "We are working with (Fresno County) to come up with away to get that information out," Incident Commander Nick Truax said.
