in April 1988, and reaffirmed this support in January and April, 1989;

and force the Diablo Demonstration Ranch to close ; and

the build-up of massive amounts "of fuel in the thousands of acres of

the General Plan to allow the continuation of cattle grazing and the
Demonstration Ranch in Mt. Diablo State Park.
