Appendix M –Project Description ONGOING COUNTY CHIPPER PROGRAM OPERATION FUNDS Issue/Background: Since 1998, the Placer County Chipper Program has provided a free service to residents of the County. This helps to lower the costs of creating and maintaining defensible space and also reduces the amount of outdoor burning and the associated air pollution as well as escaped fires. The County owns four chippers and tow vehicles, purchased from a PG&E settlement and supplemented by a Prop 204 grant. Maintenance is performed by CDF. Therefore the annual cost is for the four crew managers, one for each chipper, and the crews. In order to keep costs down, trustees from the County Jail are used as crews. Response to the program has been excellent. As of June 2004, an estimated total of 17,486 tons of vegetation had been processed through the Chipper Program since its inception. The number of parcels chipped has steadily increased every year. Other Alternatives: No Action - If the Chipper Program is not continued, there is a risk of lower compliance with defensible space requirements as well as increased burning. Responsible Office: Rich Gresham, Manager, Placer County Resource Conservation District; CDF NYP, Placer County Priority (H, M, L): High Cost Estimate: The cost of operation is about $191,000 annually, or an average of $76 per parcel chipped. Benefit: Life Safety; Reduce property Loss. A cost of $76 per parcel is about 0.03 percent of the average Assessor’s Roll Value of about $260,000 per home (which is far below actual replacement value). Potential Funding: Current funding is through a WUI grant. However this funding is not guaranteed for future years and options are now being considered to continue this service when Grant funding is no longer available. Schedule: Ongoing annually. 147
Appendix N – Project Description DEVELOP THE FOLLOWING GIS LAYERS FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES WITHIN YUBA COUNTY: Issue/Background: Readily accessible information is needed in cases of natural disasters. Yuba County is vulnerable to large, fast moving fires that involve deployment of incident command teams and evacuations. Building a readily accessible master database of county data and fire related data will expedite strategic planning and streamline the mapping process. This master dataset will include data from Yuba County, the Yuba County Firesafe Council, CAL FIRE, USFS, BLM, UC Davis and local timber company owners. Yuba County and other should have the ability to assess the status of critical facilities at the time of an incident. Mapped data would improve this process by allowing the Emergency Operations center to compare a mapped hazard against mapped facilities allowing for a more precise query of affected facilities. Mapped data will significantly improve the direction of damage assessment teams as an example. The Yuba County Firesafe Council has also sbeen developing data layers for fire hydrants and water sources. All of the County’s fire agencies routinely provide mutual aid into each other’s jurisdiction. Mapped fire hydrants and water sources will reduce the time that it takes an engine company to find an adequate water source in the event of a fire. Other Alternatives: Continue to estimate fire mitigation measures based on memory and unmapped data. Continue to estimate critical facilities risk and vulnerability based on un-mapped data. Continue to use manually mapped fire hydrant data that is seldom shared with agencies who are providing mutual aid to a sister agency. Responsible Office: Project coordinated by Yuba County Firesafe Council, data will be hosted by Yuba County. Priority (H, M, L): Medium Benefit: The development of a shared GIS server will significantly improve the quality of the County’s . Mapped data will improve planning accuracy, will improve precision in operations and will improve response timeliness. It is not possible to quantify cost savings in terms of dollars. Potential Funding: TBD Schedule: An interagency group was formed in early 2011. Yuba County is investigating server availability and security policies. Each member has been tasked with collecting an inventory of the data they house. A geodatabase template for collecting fuel treatments has been started. 148
