• WATER:  Consider applying to be on the Board. The Board's next monthly meeting is the second Tuesday of each month at 4 PM. Visit as a member of the public to see what it's like..  Click here for recent MCWD news and contact information. 

• TELEPHONE:  Challenges with the Frontier phone service continues..  Click here to submit your comments on a wireless company that let a cell phone outage here continue for more than a week taking over our land lines. Also, see the News Tracking page for more details about intermittent landline outages of the 595 exchange earlier this year. It would seem that Mineral's ability to communicate with the outside world is all to often precarious.

• PG&E: Outages? Let them know.PG&E contacts: General info 800-743-5000; North Valley Planned Outages Coord.: 530-634-6476.

• ROADS: Potholes are being filled and will soon be sealed.  Hwy. 172 will be completely closed between Mineral and Hole-in-the-Ground Road near Mill Creek starting on Monday, June 9th, until sometime in December for safety reasons. Log trucks and heavy equipment will be removing several thousand dead trees burned in the Park Fire. The road has been repaved as a result and looks great!

GOVERNANCE

• BATTLE CREEK WATERSHED PUBLIC MEETINGS:  The Battle Creek Watershed Conservancy hosted two public meetings in Manton and online on May 19th and 20th. The first was a Technical Team meeting largely focused on Chinook Salmon recovery data from the Bureau of Reclamation's Battle Creek Salmon & Steelhead Restoration Project. The second focused on various parts of the US Forest Service's West Lassen Headwaters Project, one of which involves targeted spraying of 7 herbicides (including formulations of glyphosate) to prevent recurrence of invasive plants throughout 10,000 acres in Plumas, Shasta, and Tehama Counties slated for re-forestation following the Dixie and Park Fires.  For organizational context and specifics on these projects, click here. A report has been issued since and information is available on the News page of the website and the Firewise board at the mall in front of the Campground.
