Document Description
The project entails renewing an existing lease that CAL FIRE has with the California Shock Trauma Air Rescue (CALSTAR), a California Cooperation. The lease renewal will allow the continued use of an existing facility approximately 13.63 acres in size, which is located with CAL FIRE's Nevada-Yuba-Placer Unit Headquarters facility in Auburn. The facility consists of a helicopter pad, associated buildings, and space in an above-ground fuel vault. CALSTAR will have the non-exclusive right to use the helicopter pad for landing, taking off and parking of an air ambulance helicopter, and an exclusive right to lease a 12' X 40' pad for a CALSTAR modular administration building, an adjacent 24' X 60' pad for a crew quarters modular building, an exclusive right to use six (6) parking spaces for CALSTAR employee personal vehicles plus the right to use one (1) additional parking space for visitors. CALSTAR will also have the non-exclusive right to use a back-up landing site and the right to station a fuel truck on the leased premises to refuel helicopters while on the helicopter pad. The project will not cause any alteration of the existing facility beyond the current use. The lease renewal is an administrative process that will not result in environmental impacts.
