Logging Exemptions - the "Silviculture Waiver"



    
Irresponsible logging leads to fish-killing landslides and other erosion
The logging industry has enjoyed broad exemptions from the state Clean Water Act since the 1980's. These could not have proven more harmful, but Regional Water Boards throughout California simply renewed the exemptions when they expired at the end of last year. EPIC is leading a statewide effort to end these broad exemptions once and for all, challenging it across the Sierras, Central Coast, and North Coast Regions through multiple administrative actions and lawsuits.
