The project supports the County’s wildfire resilience efforts by providing local capacity to safely dispose of woody biomass while reducing open pile burning and associated smoke impacts. The tour will begin at 2:00 p.m. at the Pumice Valley Landfill (APN 021-130-045-000), located approximately 5 miles east of U.S. Highway 395 on State Route 120 East.
