Forensic Documentation for California WMPs
California's Wildfire Mitigation Plan requirements demand auditable, pole-level documentation of vegetation inspections, fire risk assessments, and PSPS decisions. AcreSeal's SHA-256 forensic evidence chains provide the verifiable records that OEIS independent evaluators require.
2026-2028 WMP Cycle Now Active
PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, and PacifiCorp are submitting base Wildfire Mitigation Plans for the 2026-2028 cycle. OEIS requires detailed vegetation inspection records, pole clearing verification, and evidence of risk-prioritized response. Utilities without structured, verifiable documentation face compliance findings.
How AcreSeal Supports WMP Compliance
Vegetation Inspection Documentation
WMPs require auditable records of every vegetation inspection, including species identification, clearance measurements, and remediation timelines. AcreSeal's before/after photo verification with GPS and timestamp binding provides the evidence chain that OEIS reviewers expect.
Fire Risk Zone Mapping
Utilities must document pole-level fire risk assessments in HFTD Tier 2 and Tier 3 zones. AcreSeal's wildfire risk overlay automatically flags complaints and work orders in high-risk areas, creating a defensible record of prioritized response.
PSPS Event Documentation
Public Safety Power Shutoff events require detailed documentation of which poles were de-energized, why, and for how long. AcreSeal's environmental hash binding captures weather conditions at the moment of each decision, creating tamper-evident records.
Third-Party Audit Readiness
WMPs undergo independent evaluation by the Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety. AcreSeal records are publicly verifiable at acreseal.com/verify — any auditor can confirm the integrity of any record without logging in.
Same Forensic Core, California-Specific Templates
AcreSeal's SHA-256 environmental hash binding — the same methodology proven under Texas HB 144 — is jurisdiction-agnostic. GPS coordinates, timestamps, photo evidence, and weather conditions are cryptographically sealed into every record. The compliance templates adapt to California's WMP requirements; the forensic integrity layer stays the same.
This means a utility operating in both Texas and California can use a single forensic evidence platform with state-specific export formats.
