Support SB 904 (Chesbro)Wild and Scenic Rivers Act March 9, 2004 |
|
SB 904 clarifies the
California Wild & Scenic Rivers Act to ensure that Special Treatment
Areas under the California Forest Practice Rules are applied to
recreational rivers. Current law requires Timber Harvest Plans for
logging on privately owned commercial timberlands to apply a 200
foot-wide Special Treatment Area to protect visual quality along
designated Wild & Scenic rivers. The California Divison of Forestry
recently interpreted the Act as not applying to a recreational segment
of the South Yuba River, even though the term "wild and scenic" is used
generically throughout the Act and the regulations as encompassing all
such designated rivers. This simple amendment will greatly enhance state
protection of California's designated river system. To get more information, you can visit the Official California Legislative Information website - Bill Information on SB 904 from the 2004 session. This page will return all of the related documentation of this bill, include the actual proposed SB 904. We are asking all interested parties to send letters (see template) in support of SB 904. Thank you. |
