Yuba County Supervisor is advocating for the continuation of California's BioMAT program, which supports small-scale bioenergy initiatives crucial for wildfire prevention and emissions reduction. The proposed Engeman Camptonville Green Energy facility aims to process 50,000 tons of hazardous forest material annually and produce renewable energy, while the program's termination in 2025 could jeopardize significant investments in forest restoration and safe biomass disposal. The supervisor urges the CPUC to extend and enhance BioMAT in alignment with wildfire prevention strategies.
