Amador County - The Amador County Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) announced Monday that it is soliciting project proposals for financial support under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000, reauthorized in 2008. Currently, as authorized by the legislation, Amador County has approximately $90,000 to fund natural resource related projects within Amador County. Additional funds will be available in January 2011. Projects nominated must be located in Amador County and have broad based support in the following areas: road, trail, and infrastructure maintenance or obliteration; soil productivity improvements; watershed restoration and maintenance; improvements in forest ecosystem health; wildlife and fish habitat improvements; control of noxious and exotic weeds; reintroduction of native species, and hazardous fuels reduction. RAC members are particularly interested in projects that provide cultural awareness, human health and interface, community to government relationship building, public outreach and education, forest health, local job creation, trail maintenance, funding partnerships and projects that fill the gaps between other forest projects.
Projects can be on national forest or private land within Amador County. Projects on private lands must have clear benefit to the Eldorado National Forest. To nominate a project to the Amador County RAC, please visit the Eldorado National Forest website at www.fs.fed.us/r5/eldorado. Project proponents should contact the Amador District Ranger before finalizing a project proposal. The deadline for submitting project proposals for consideration during this round of funding is August 13, 2010. Applicants who have had their projects reviewed by the Forest Service are welcome to provide an overview of their proposal to Amador County RAC members on August 30 and September 13 when the RAC convenes at 10877 Conductor Blvd in Sutter Creek. The meetings will begin at 6 pm. Please contact Deb Sweeten at (209) 295-5903 or at This email address is being protected from spambots.
