PG&E is facing fines that could total millions of dollars from Cal Fire and the California Coastal Commission — along with possible criminal penalties — for what those agencies say is overzealous logging and grading work the utility has been doing without permits in the Santa Cruz Mountains following the CZU Lighting Fire.

After the devastating fire, which was fully contained Sept. 22, the utility and its contractors aggressively cut hundreds of large trees, including redwoods, Douglas firs, madrones, cypress and ponderosa pines up to 100 feet away from power lines in communities near Boulder Creek, Ben Lomond and Bonny Doon, according to the agencies.
