Forest Fires. The LESSEE will exercise due care to prevent forest fires on the property and, will extinguish any unsupervised fire, without cost to the LESSOR, if the fire occurs when LESSEE is using the property.

Forest Fires. Protect biomass facility and neighboring communities by removing excess forest fuels from surrounding areas, which will help reduce the potential for forest fires and the costs required for fire suppression. • Open Pile Burning – Avoid open pile burning of up to 50,000 BDT/yr of forest biomass (up to 8.5 million BDT/yr at full market penetration) • Air Quality Benefits – Through offsets, reduce GHG emissions by 15,970 metric tonnes CO2eq/yr. Reduce NOx, VOC, CO, and PM compared to the pile and burn method, where that method would have been used. • Water Use Reductions – This facility will consume about 48.3 million gallons of water per year less than a conventional condenser technology (79% savings).
Forest Fires. Forest fire management is the strategy of fire control and fire use (i.e. forest fires). The planning area land base falls within the East Fire Region ‘Intensive Zone’. As such, every fire ignition receives a suppression response based on the following: • Predicted behavior of the fire; • The potential impact of the fire; • The estimated cost of the response; • Where within the intensive zone the fire occurs (i.e. parks); • Determination as to whether there are opportunities for small scale beneficial fire management

The California Public Utilities Commission, which established the EPIC in 2011, defines ratepayer benefits as greater reliability, lower costs, and increased safety (See CPUC “Phase 2” Decision 00-00-000 at page 19, May 24, 2012, xxxx://xxxx.xxxx.xx.xxx/PublishedDocs/WORD_PDF/FINAL_DECISION/167664.PDF). 5 California Public Resources Code, Section 25711.5(a) also requires EPIC-funded projects to lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome barriers that prevent the achievement of the state’s statutory and energy goals. help reduce the potential for forest fires and the costs required for fire suppression. • Open Pile Burning – Avoid open pile burning of up to 50,000 BDT/yr of forest biomass (up to 8.5 million BDT/yr at full market penetration) • Air Quality Benefits – Through offsets, reduce GHG emissions by 15,970 metric tonnes CO2eq/yr.

Forest Fires. The catastrophic forest fires during this four year period in Portugal, Greece and more recently in the Russian Federation have stressed the importance of dealing with this hazard, and in particular where their prevention is concerned. With the inclusion in the network of the Freiburg Centre specialised in forest fires and the previous expertise of the Athens Centre, the activities on this specific hazard have increased and attempt to focus on more innovative approaches to the topic. In this respect, a joint study by both Centres on the impact of forest fire smoke emphasized in 2007 the toxicity for both the population and the rescuers. Similarly, the consequences of fires on land contaminated by mines or by radiology, identified as an important problem at a first meeting in 2008, were further discussed in 2009 during a conference in Kiev, where the issue of transboundary cooperation appeared as essential. The role of climate change in forest fire phenomena was also addressed at an international meeting organised in June 2010 in Freiburg, Germany. With the Freiburg Centre acting as leader, an extensive effort on management of forest fires in the Balkan countries was developed, firstly through training carried out in 2008 for forest owners and secondly by the publication of a guide for their intention. The participation of the Agreement to the establishment in 2010 of a regional monitoring centre for the Balkans in Skopje aims to provide an important tool for sharing information in that region and to fostering regional cooperation in the field. Seismic risk Being one of the origins of the Agreement, the recent L’Aquila earthquake emphasized the need to promote seismic related activities in order to be better prepared to deal with such disasters. If supported projects addressed mainly fundamental research, the collaboration of some Centres with their national authorities on earthquake risk and infrastructures must be highlighted as an example of greater synergy between scientists and decision makers. The Rabat Centre developed joint work with authorities on seismic feasibility studies for new cities and existing large dams and public buildings’ vulnerability to earthquakes. Similarly, the Bucharest Centre supported in 2009 the enforcement by the Romanian Government of seismic rehabilitation programmes of existing buildings according to a new national Code taking into account EU codes and standards. The involvement of citizens in earthquake monitoring can als...
Forest Fires. Lessee agrees to use its best efforts to prevent and suppress forest fires and grass fires upon and in the vicinity of the Property. Lessee shall further inform itself as to all forest fire laws, ordinances and/or regulations which may now or in the future be applicable to the area in which the Property is situate. Lessee shall further cooperate with Lessor's reforestation program and protect any planted seedlings or trees on the Property, provided such program shall not materially interfere with the use of the Property by Lessee for commercial purposes. All timber, trees and seedlings shall be and remain the property of Lessor and shall not be removed by Lessee at any time without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent may be withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion.
Forest Fires. The Freiburg Centre provided information on the conference on the consequences of fires on land contaminated by mines or by radiology organized in Kiev, where the issue of transboundary cooperation appeared as essential. The Georgian Centre asked about the role of climate change in such phenomena and the Freiburg Centre pointed out that even if climate change does increase the severity, fires are mainly influenced by human behaviour. Based on those remarks, the Biskra Centre highlighted that the chain reaction of disasters and insidious risks emerge as important issues to address.
Forest Fires. The Freiburg Centre informed on the establishment of a regional monitoring centre for the Balkans in Skopje, an important tool to share information in that region, and recalled that an international meeting on Climate Change and Forest Fires will be organized at the end of June in Freiburg to prepare the 2011 International Wildland Fire Conference. The Centre will pursue its work on global fire inventory and early warning and suggested proposals for post-Copenhagen actions within the UN programme XXXX (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries).
