Church of the Woods

The FEIR is still
being reviewed by the County Planning Commission
and is not on the hearing calendar for the
immediate future.
But that can
change in the blink of an eye. It has
happened before that the Planning Commission
has given a developer months (or even years)
to revise a FEIR, then allowed the public
only 10 days to review it.
The Serenity Conference
and Retreat Center
This Crest Park
construction site has caused serious stream
bed damage on its 1.8 acre parcel. The
developer continues to violate environmental
rulings disregardig warnings.
The Lahontan Water Quality Control issued a
clean-up abatement order on March 14,
telling him to do no
further building on the site until the
damage to the stream bed is repaired.
The Mountains Group
is continuing to monitor this developer's
actions.
Check back for
updates on the Serenity Center and Church of
the Woods.

Fog and
Bad Weather
Policy
As we know all too well, weather conditions can change suddenly and drastically in our mountains.
In case of bad
weather or heavy fog
the Mountains
Group's policy is to
cancel a scheduled
event. The following
procedures have been
set up to decide
when to cancel an
event and how to
communicate this
decision to members.
1) Designated
contacts in Grass
Valley Lake, Running
Springs, Lake
Arrowhead, Rim
Forest and
Crestline will
report to the Chair
(or to the Vice
Chair, in
the Chair’s absence)
their weather
conditions by 12
noon on the day of
meetings at St.
Richard’s or 9 am
for
events at Shady Cove
or Keller Hut.
2) Based on those
reports, a decision
to “Go Ahead” with a
meeting or “Call It
Off” will be
made.
3) The
decision will
be communicated to
everyone on our email list
and will, if
possible, also be
posted on this website.
