Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program. The Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria of California (Band) has initiated both a program in energy conservation and in alternative energy through its Environmental Department but does not have a dedicated individual to pursue these goals. The Band proposes to create a new position within the Tribe (Energy Technician). The Band also proposes to retain the services of technical consultants to assist in training of the energy technician and further development of its energy efficiency and conservation program. The Energy Technician will be trained by both the Redwood Coast Energy Watch to assess the Bear River Band's energy needs and by Don Harland, the technical consultant responsible for designing and implementing the tribe's wind turbine generator, to better understand the Bear River Band's options for alternative energy. The Energy Technician, under the guidance of the Bear River Band's Environmental Coordinator, will create and submit an energy efficiency and conservation strategy.
