AIR QUALITY HEALTH ADVISORY -- SMOKE

7/31/2017

0 Comments

 

Monday, July 31 through Wednesday, August 2, 2017

Plumas and Sierra Counties


Plumas County Public Health and the Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District are issuing a joint air quality advisory to notify the public of potentially poor air quality conditions at least through Wednesday, August 2, caused by the Minerva Fire south of Quincy in Plumas County (https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/5434/).


For the next several days, Plumas County’s Air Quality will continue to shift as Fire Crews work to contain the Minerva Fire.  With smoke and ash visible it is important to remember that this can be hazardous to your health.  Exposure to elevated PM2.5 (fine particulate matter in smoke) concentrations can result in eye and throat irritation, headaches, nausea, shortness of breath, congestion, coughing, impaired lung function and chest pain, especially among sensitive individuals such as the elderly, children, people with asthma, people with heart or lung conditions, pregnant women and anyone who is exercising or working hard outdoors.  Even the general public is encouraged to stay indoors and limit physical activity when they can see and smell smoke. 


If you smell or see smoke around you, the following actions are recommended:
  • Minimize outdoor activities even if you are healthy;
  • Stay indoors with doors and windows closed as much as possible; run the air conditioner on the “recirculate” setting if that is an option;
  • People with asthma should follow their asthma management plan;
  • People with heart disease, respiratory or chronic health issues should stay indoors;
  • Contact your doctor if you have symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, or severe fatigue.
   Here is an easy way for the general public to assess risk with a visibility assessment:
Categories
Visibility in Miles

Good
11 miles and up

Moderate
6 to 10

Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
3 to 5

Unhealthy
1 ½ to 2 ¾

Very Unhealthy
1 to 1 ¼

Hazardous
Less than 1 mile
 
When using the visibility index to determine smoke concentrations, it is important to:
• Face away from the sun.
• Determine the limit of your visibility range by looking for targets at known
distances (miles). The visible range is the point at which even high-contrast
objects (e.g., a dark forested mountain viewed against the sky at noon) totally disappear.
 
Smoke conditions can change quickly and vary greatly due to terrain, wind direction and weather.  Western parts of Plumas and Sierra Counties are likely to see the most smoke.  It is important to monitor the smoke and make outdoor plans accordingly.  A typical pattern is lifting of the smoke during the daylight hours and then settling down into ravines and valleys in the evening and nighttime as winds die down.     


The use of filter masks is generally not recommended because the most effective masks can reduce air flow for people who are already having breathing difficulty.
 
On top of the air quality issue, temperatures throughout Plumas County communities are expected to reach above 90 degrees this week and into the weekend.  With a quick rise in temperatures, people are at increased risk of heat related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke, especially those who are more sensitive to heat. Make sure when you are indoors to utilize ways to keep cool like wet towels and fans if you do not have air conditioning. 


Prolonged exposure to high temperatures may cause serious conditions like heat exhaustion or heat stroke and can even be fatal. Symptoms of heat exhaustion may include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, weakness, headache, nausea or vomiting and dizziness. At the first sign of heat exhaustion, move to a cool location, rest and drink fluids. Signs of heat stroke may include an extremely high body temperature, unconsciousness, confusion, hot and dry skin (no sweating), a rapid, strong pulse, and a throbbing headache. If signs of heat stroke occur, immediately call for medical assistance.


Recommended precautions to prevent heat related illnesses include:
  • Drink plenty of liquids; don’t wait until you are thirsty.
  • Wear light, loose-fitting clothing.
  • Stay out of the sun if possible, and when in the sun, wear a hat, preferably with a wide brim, and use sunscreen.
  • Avoid strenuous activities if you are outside or in non-air conditioned buildings. If you are working outdoors, take frequent rest and refreshment breaks in a shaded area.
  • Never leave children, elderly people or pets unattended in closed cars or other vehicles.
  • Check on those who are at high risk to make sure they are staying cool – including seniors who live alone, people with heart or lung disease, and young children.
  • Stay cool indoors – if your home is not air conditioned, visit public facilities such as stores or libraries to help stay cool.
For more information on heat related illnesses or health impacts due to smoke, contact Plumas County Public Health at 283-6330.

Runner Blasts New Tax Agency for Shameful Actions

7/31/2017

0 Comments

 

SACRAMENTO - George Runner today vented his frustration with Governor Jerry Brown's administration and its newly-created Department of Tax and Fee Administration.



"California's new tax agency is creating needless hurdles for taxpayers seeking justice," said Runner. "Whether caused by clumsiness or conspiracy, these actions are shameful and unacceptable."


At last week's Board of Equalization meeting in Irvine, a representative of the new tax agency asked board members not to vote on tax appeals. He based his request on a dubious legal interpretation of a new law, AB 102, which stripped BOE of much of its power.


Runner and his fellow board members believe the new law limits board member communications with taxpayers as of July 1 of this year when the law took effect.


However, an administration lawyer opined last week that the new law should be broadly interpreted, forcing board members to disclose communications prior to when it took effect.


The resulting confusion delayed the board from hearing tax appeals for hours.


"The administration seems to be doing everything it can to create hurdles," said Runner. "I hope it's not a preview of what's to come for taxpayers."


"Despite the confusion, the board fulfilled its duty to vote on tax appeals," continued Runner. "If the board hadn't done so, taxpayers who had waited months or years for justice would have been forced to wait even longer."


Ironically, the new law in question is titled The Taxpayer Transparency and Fairness Act of 2017. Supporters claimed it would speed up tax appeals and promised a seamless transition, but to date the law has only created problems and headaches for taxpayers.


The two-day board meeting concluded Friday. The next meeting is scheduled for August 29 to 31 in Sacramento.

STASH YOUR FOOD AND TRASH

7/27/2017

0 Comments

 
​BEAR!  Sierra County Sheriff’s Office received a call on July 17th from a resident on Bear Valley Road in Sierra Brooks of a bear in a residence. A second call reported a bear in a yard on Bear Valley Road.
On July 23rd a caller reported seeing a possible bear trap with a bear trapped in it at the address of the first caller. Fish & Wildlife responded and removed the bear yet did NOT relocate it.
Please – stash your food and trash. 
Keep them wild.
If bears and other wild animals damage property or threaten human safety, they might be killed. Allowing wild animals access to human food is dead wrong.
You may not realize it – a simple bag of garbage, bowl of pet food, or plate of leftovers left outside your home or vacation site, can cause severe harm to wildlife.
But if wild animals have access to human food and garbage, they want more and more. They lose their natural fear of humans and can become aggressive.

Don’t do it!
Well-intentioned residents who set out food for wild animals are actually doing them no favors, particularly for large animals. 
Feeding deer may cause them to congregate in small areas in unusually high numbers, which can cause the spread of disease and increase the likelihood of collisions with vehicles. 
Deer may also attract dangerous predators like mountain lions to residential areas.
Both deer and bear are considered “big game”mammals and it is against state law to feed them. 
A citation could lead to hefty fines and jail time.

DRIVING THE BACK COUNTRY OF SIERRA COUNTY - Photos by Jean Myles

These signs are posted in odd places along back country dirt roads.  There needs to be one just outside of Verdi on the way to Dog Valley.  ​
Picture
You never really know what you will find on the back roads.  Found this on Sierra County 9, close to the Sierra County entrance.  Flowers blooming profusely above 6000 feet.  Acres of Pennyroyal attracting thousands of butterflies.  ​

The Douglas Squirrel, also known as the Chickaree, was John Muir’e favorite, probably because it is active year-round and is very curious about everything.  They seem to be prolific in the mountains this year.  This one, who was covered with spiderwebs from storing sugar pine cones under our deck, was giving me a royal scolding because I was in his space.  ​

Hydraulic Mining on Howard Creek:  Sierra County Road 9 has some interesting vistas.  At one point you can see tailings from the hydraulic mining done in the mid-1800’s just a short walk off the road.  Sierra Buttes can be seen in the background.  ​

Rep. Tom McClintock Detwiler Fire Remarks Delivered on House Floor

7/26/2017

0 Comments

 


Mr. Speaker:

 
            I want to begin by saluting the more than 5,000 firefighters from 40 cooperating agencies that assembled under the coordination of CALFIRE to battle the Detwiler fire that threatened Yosemite Valley and its gateway communities. 
            I spent Saturday at the command centers in Mariposa and Merced Counties and what I saw is what I have seen time and again at so many fires we are having these days in the Sierra: cool, calm professionalism, selflessness and devotion to duty. 
 
            CalFIRE is an agency that works.  I want particularly to salute and thank Nancy Koerperich, CalFIRE’s Unit Fire Chief for Madera, Mariposa and Merced.  She and her operation literally saved several towns – including Mariposa and Coulterville – from annihilation last week. 
 
            Sheriff Doug Binnewies of Mariposa County is rightly being hailed for his courage and leadership in directing the orderly evacuation of the town of Mariposa as the fire bore down upon it.  You can literally see how the fire burned right up to the town’s edge.  I can’t tell you how many homes I saw where firefighters stopped it within a few feet of the front doors. 
 
            CalFire Battalion Chief Jeremy Rahn told me that the difference between saving and losing so many homes was defensible space.  CalFire has produced a superb phone app to assist homeowners in preparing their home so that if – God forbid -- the need arises, firefighters will be able to defend it.  It also provides fire alerts and anyone in the mountain communities should have it.   It’s free for downloading at your phone’s app store.   
 
            I cannot say enough about the firefighters who have been working in triple digit heat in 24 hour shifts to battle the flames, or the air crews that dropped a staggering 500,000 gallons of fire retardant in a single day at the height of the conflagration.  Their effectiveness can be seen by red borders of fire retardant that separate the blackened ground of the fire on one side and the landscape they saved on the other. 
 
            They not only saved these communities and hundreds of homes – they also stopped the fire within just a few miles of the Stanislaus National Forest – a forest that is dying because of federal environmental restrictions on forest management.  The firefighters warned that if the fire reached these vast stands of dead trees, the fire would have exploded with the force of an atomic bomb.
 
            And that is the fine point of the matter.  I spoke with Mariposa County Supervisor Marshall Long and the firefighters at the Mariposa command center and the one thing they stressed time and again is that they need relief from the regulations that are making it almost impossible to create firebreaks, thin the forests and remove the excess fuels.
 
            These policies, imposed 45 years ago through legislation like the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act, promised to improve the forest environment.  After 45 years of experience with these laws, I believe we are entitled to ask: how is the forest environment doing?   The answer is damning. 
 
            These laws have made it all but impossible to keep our forests properly managed, and the result is severe overcrowding.  The Sierra Nevada support between 20 and 100 trees per acre, depending on the topography.  The average tree density is now 266 trees per acre.  This extreme overcrowding has stressed the trees to the point they can no longer resist drought, beetle infestation and disease.  This has caused a massive tree die-off, and we have entire national forests just waiting to explode with over 100 million dead trees. 
 
            The heroic firefighters of the Detwiler fire have kept it out of these hazard zones – but the hazard zones are still there.  And consider this: we’re only at the very beginning of the fire season that combines fresh brush from last year’s rains with millions of dead trees that were too stressed from overcrowding to survive the drought.   And the firefighters I spoke with on Saturday bitterly complained they can’t even cut firebreaks to isolate these zones because of the same so-called environmental laws.
 
            The House has pending before it the Resilient Federal Forests Act of 2017 that would allow us to restore good forest management – but we may already have run afoul of what Churchill called “History’s terrible, chilling words: TOO LATE.”
 
            Mr. Speaker, I call for expeditious consideration of the Resilient Federal Forests act and other legislation to save our forests, in the hope that firefighters can hold these fires at bay until we restore good management to our public lands.

CDPH Urges Caution on How to Avoid Hantavirus following Diagnosis in Northern California Man

7/26/2017

1 Comment

 

SACRAMENTO – The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) reminds individuals to take precautions when entering cabins, trailers and other buildings that may be infested with rodents after the recent diagnosis of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in a Northern California man.

“Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is a rare, but often fatal disease spread by rodents,” said CDPH Director and State Public Health Officer Dr. Karen Smith. “The chances of getting the virus are greatest when entering or cleaning buildings, or other closed spaces, where wild rodents are present.”
HPS is caused by a virus that individuals contract through contact with the urine, droppings or saliva of wild rodents, primarily deer mice. Breathing small particles of mouse urine or droppings that have been stirred up into the air is the most common means of infection. The illness begins with fever, headache, and muscle aches and progresses rapidly to severe difficulty breathing and, in some cases, death.
Since HPS was first identified in 1993, there have been 73 hantavirus infections in California and 659 cases nationally. About 30 percent of HPS cases identified in California have been fatal.
The most recent case occurred in a patient who was exposed to the virus in Mono County. Most HPS cases have been exposed in the Sierra Nevada or Southern California mountain areas. Prompt diagnosis and medical treatment increase an individual's chances of recovery.
To prevent HPS, CDPH recommends the following precautions:
  •   Avoid contact with all wild rodents, their droppings, and nesting materials.
  •   Before entering an enclosed area that may be infested with rodents, allow it to air out for at least 30 minutes.
  •   Do not dry sweep or vacuum areas that rodents have potentially contaminated.
  •   Surfaces that rodents may have contaminated with urine or droppings should be made wet with a 10% bleach solution or a commercial disinfectant following label directions before mopping up.
  •   Promptly dispose of all cleaning materials when done, and thoroughly wash hands and clothes.
  •   Examine the outside of all buildings and seal any holes or other areas that would let rodents get inside.
  •   Store all food items securely in rodent-proof containers.
    In addition to hantavirus, individuals in recreational areas should take precautions to reduce exposure to plague, which is carried by other wild rodents, such as squirrels and chipmunks, and their fleas. Steps the public can take include:
  • Never feed squirrels, chipmunks or other rodents and never touch sick or dead rodents.
  • Avoid walking, hiking or camping near rodent burrows.
  • Wear long pants tucked into socks or boots to reduce exposure to fleas.
  • Spray insect repellent containing DEET on socks and pant cuffs to reduce exposure to fleas.
  • Keep wild rodents out of homes, trailers, and outbuildings and away from pets.
    For additional information about preventing HPS, please visit CDPH’s webpage and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Website. For information on plague, visit this CDPH webpage.

UPDATE: LOYALTON MOBILE HOME ESTATES

7/21/2017

0 Comments

 
AN UPDATE AND DISCUSSION regarding the Loyalton Mobile Estates (LME) mobile home park was held at the Sierra County Board of Supervisors’ meeting held Tuesday, July 18th in Loyalton. Supervisor Jim Beard stated he was asked to place this item on the agenda. He said no action would be taken, but the public was welcome to ask questions. County Counsel added the public could make comments and ask questions, but some may not be answered, due to this topic having been in closed session. Sierra County Public Works Director Tim Beals stated there was not a lot he could add but was asked to delay any enforcement on the LME pending County Counsel’s work with Housing and Community Development (HCD). He said there have been some responsible actions taken by residents to clean up the park, adding it was a continuing effort. Beals stated he did give permission for residents to take recyclables and scrap metal to the landfill. He said the City of Loyalton’s effort to provide a process for individual water surface payments was met with strong, internal resistance and he is now being told it is not being pursued at this point. Beals concluded that he is prepared to move forward with an enforcement action once it can occur. County Counsel said as of right now there was intent to revoke the HCD license, but that has been delayed due to the owner requesting hearings. He didn’t anticipate there would be any action other than the revocation without substantial change in circumstances. Beals stated he felt the County was on a procedural track and stated it would be foolish to step outside of the track. He said County Counsel needed to have the time to coordinate with HCD, adding he wasn’t sure where the process would take them. Beals stressed the need to proceed cautiously so the County doesn’t expose itself to a liability of greater magnitude down the road.
LME resident, David Allen stated the Park was still having problems with some of the residents abandoning cars and piling up garbage. He said he sees progress, but felt they needed to push people to do more. Allen felt LME was worth saving, but needs more action, adding “there are a lot of crack heads in there.” He said he took his guns to his son’s house, so they aren’t stolen.
Jim Rimmer, self-proclaimed manager of the LME, stated the main problem was Kevin Pagel was legally evicted and still brings trash in everyday. He said the Sheriff’s department hasn’t done anything about taking the squatters out. Rimmer wanted the County to work with him to keep people out. Supervisor Lee Adams stated the issue was the absence of the property owner and it is still private property. He said Rimmer couldn’t self appoint himself unless the property owner gave him the power to act on his behalf. Adams suggested Rimmer, in trying to keep anyone else from moving in, to talk with the owner, and see if he could act on his behalf since the owner is now back in the picture. Sierra County Sheriff Tim Standley, wanted to let the Board know, the Sheriff’s Department has never received a lawful eviction process on Pagel. Rimmer disagreed. Standley told him if he could produce the court document they would revisit it.
The discussion continued and Beals asked if Rimmer thought residents of LME would pay the solid waste fee to access the landfill. Sierra County Auditor/Treasurer/Tax Collector Van Maddox said if the license is withdrawn, any amount of money they paid into the solid waste fee may be for naught if they have to move. Beals said there should be a refund if that happens.
From the audience, Eileen Benson stated the entire park is going to the landfill anyway if the license is revoked, so didn’t see why the County wouldn’t assist ahead of time. She said since the residents stopped paying space rent for 66 months they have received $26,800 in free space rent. She didn’t understand why that wasn’t plenty of money to move their trailer down the road or just move. Benson also questioned what was being done with the code violations.  She stated she couldn’t do that at her house, and asked why they are allowed to have cords going from trailer to trailer, adding it was a fire hazard. County Counsel responded by stating the code violations are covered under the State licensure. He said when the process is complete the State doesn’t have the power to abate them, adding the County will use their final documents to be filed with the court for an abatement process. Benson said that sounded like double talk. Maddox said it was real simple, the State took the authority away and put it in its own hands, adding the County doesn’t get the authority until the license is revoked. Supervisor Scott Schlefstein said it is a State legal process and a lot of things are going on. Benson wanted to know who the attorney was and who they were talking to at the state level so she could contact them on her own. Benson said it was outrageous that this was still happening. She encouraged the Board to drive through the park before meetings. Adams felt Benson was spot on when she talked about how much residents have saved since they quit paying. He added that anybody who has a home in there that is less than what they’ve saved in 66 months should be looking at someplace else. Adams said he would get Benson the HCD contact name
LME resident, Monica Funk, thought the park would sell, and thought business would come back in. She said people won’t pay $22 a month for dumpsters so doesn’t see them paying for solid waste fees. Funk stated, things need to be done, and said the County said they would do something about the squatters. Maddox responded and said when the State was there, it did look like they were going to work jointly with the code violations. He said the State has now asked the County to back off for the time being.
