Recovery Initiative.
Keller said $150,000 would
defray costs on the safety
element of the county
General Plan update, while
other funds would go to
various work in the Tobin
area to address damage
caused by the Rich Fire in
2008.
Keller successfully lobbied
for Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency funds that
were previously used to pay
for work on Tobin water
system.
Plumas Corporation Execu-
tive Director John Sheehan
told the commission these
funds would pay for the re-
maining costs from the water
system repairs along with
forestry and erosion mitiga-
tion work.
Keller thanked Sheehan
and County Planning Di-
rector Randy Wilson for
their work on the funding
application.
The CDC director also
told the board he approached
the U.S. Forest Service
about funding for work in
the nearby Rush Creek area,
at Indian Valley Commis-
sioner Robert Meacher's
request.
He indicated the request
was gaining ground within
the Forest Service.
Sheehan said the effort
began by using Title III funds
to have a forester inspect the
fire damage near Tobin and
Rush Creek.
He said it quickly became
apparent Rush Creek
wouldn't fit into the Disaster
Recovery Initiative applica-
tion, so that part was pre-
sented to the Forest Service
as a request for funds from
the Rich Fire settlement with
Union Pacific.
The Rich Fire was attrib-
uted to welding work by the
railroad, leading to a $17.4
million settlement with the
Plumas National Forest
(PNF).
Sheehan said the PNF
forwarded the county's re-
quest for $629,000 from that
pool to the regional office for
work to restore damage near
Rush Creek.
He added that the PNF
recommended the request be
approved but the county
would have to wait for the
regional office to make a final
decision.
