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 records the wildfire zone a utility assigns to a work order and flags it for priority, so the prioritization is documented. AcreSeal does not supply HFTD boundaries or fire-risk assessments.
Records a third party can check
WMPs undergo independent evaluation by the Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety. Landowner complaint records can be looked up at acreseal.com/verify without logging in; the page checks that each entry in a record's hash chain points to the one before it.
Same Forensic Core, California-Specific Templates
AcreSeal's SHA-256 environmental hash binding — the same methodology used for Texas HB 144 documentation — is jurisdiction-agnostic. GPS coordinates, the photo digest, the capture time and weather conditions are bound into each landowner complaint's hash. 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.
