Environmental group wants to stop N. Shore biomass project

For now, the biomass facility on the North Shore is stalled.

Two weeks after the Placer County Planning Commission approved the conditional use permit and certified the final environmental impact report, the Center for Biological Diversity filed an appeal.

The appeal will be on before the Board of Supervisors by the end of March.

The environmental group believes greenhouse emissions from the project could harm the forest.
