Thank You For Your
Public Participation in ASRA General Plan
Thank you to everyone in the community who has been following and engaging in the process to update the Auburn State Recreation Area (ASRA) General Plan. Because of your awareness, persistence, and participation in the process over the past several years, on September 30, 2021, the State Parks Commission added this important language to Resolution #16-2021:
“RESOLVED: That California State Parks shall request CalFire to review and provide written comments on all management plans related to camping at Auburn State Recreation Area. California State Parks shall provide briefings to the State Park and Recreation Commission on CalFire’s comments at a publicly noticed meeting, which shall include an opportunity for public comment;”
A full PDF copy of Resolution #16-2021 is available here: https://www.edcgov.us/Government/BOS/DistrictIV/Documents/Resolution%2016-2021_FINAL%20ASRA.pdf
We will need to remain vigilant and continue to monitor this project to ensure that State Parks follows the intent of this Resolution.

– Effective at 8:00 A.M. on October 25, 2021, the burn suspension in the Amador-El Dorado Unit (AEU), State Responsibility Areas will be lifted. CAL FIRE AEU Unit Chief Mike Blankenheim is formally lifting the burn suspension on Monday. Those possessing current and valid agriculture and residential burn permits can now resume burning on permissible burn days. Agriculture burns must be inspected by CAL FIRE prior to burning until the end of the peak fire season. Inspections may be required for burns other than agriculture burns. This can be verified by contacting your local Air Quality Management District.
The use of a burn barrel is illegal in Amador and El Dorado counties. For tips on residential landscape debris burning safety or other fire and life safety topics, please visit the CAL FIRE website at https://www.fire.ca.gov .
To acquire a permit, applicants may access the website at https://burnpermit.fire.ca.gov watch the mandatory video which reviews burning requirements and safety tips, fill in the required fields, submit the form and a dooryard burn permit will be created. The applicant must then print and sign the permit. Permits are valid for the calendar year in which they are issued and must be reissued annually on or after January 1st of each year. If an online permit is not an option and you reside in the Amador-El Dorado Unit service area, call (530) 644-2345 for assistance. Due to social distancing guidelines, we ask that you do not attempt to obtain a permit in person.
Contact your local Air Quality Management District to determine what permit requirements or burning restrictions apply in your area and ALWAYS call to ensure burn day status. El Dorado County (530) 621-5897
For alternatives to burning your piles, please contact El Dorado County Fire Safe Council at https://www.edcfiresafe.org for details on available programs.
Ensure that piles from landscape debris are no larger than 4-ft. in diameter, have a 10-ft. clearance to bare soil around the burn pile and that a responsible adult attends all times with a water source and a shovel.

Message from the Cool-Pilot Hill Advisory Committee (CPHAC):
Do you have ideas and/or suggestions about the future of Cool? How it grows, how it looks? Do you care about whether or not big box stores are built in Cool? What about the parking, signage, landscaping, or architectural designs? Should we keep the natural setting around us? What about tourism? What about other concerns? What kinds of businesses and shops and restaurants and medical services do you need?
If you care, join us on Wednesday, October 27th at 6 pm at the Cool Community Church (this is not a church related meeting) in Room 3. We need your input.
El Dorado County received a $350,000 grant to assist rural centers like Cool and Georgetown among others to write up design standards to help establish answers to these questions.
Please come prepared to talk about what you want to see in Cool.
See you Oct 27 at 6 pm, room 3, Cool Community Church, 863 Cave Valley Rd, Cool
