Document Description
CALFIRE intends to enter into a long-term agreement with a private landowner to periodically jettison retardant onto his property for aircraft and pilot safety. Air tankers assigned to the Grass Valley Air Attack Base will on occasion jettison up to 350 gallons of retardant to ensure that aircraft returning to the base can land safely. The need to jettison is minimized because on initial dispatch only 900 gallons of retardant will be loaded such that the air tankers can land safely without the need to jettison in the event of a false alarm.
