State parks: Chino Hills State Park: wildfires.

Existing law gives control of the state parks system to the Department of Parks and Recreation. Existing law requires the department to consider certain factors when selecting park units for closure, including the extent to which park unit closure would impair firefighter access to water resources or otherwise increase fire risk. This bill would require the department, no later than January 1, 2022, in consultation with various local entities, to develop and implement a wildfire management plan for Chino Hills State Park. The bill would require the plan to include certain things, including the promotion of an interagency approach to managing fires on an ecosystem basis across agency boundaries and in conformance with the natural ecological processes and conditions characteristic of the ecosystem. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for Chino Hills State Park.
