LAKEPORT, Calif. – The manager of the Hoberg's Resort property began serving a jail sentence on Wednesday for an environmental conviction last year.
Dan Nelson, 54, surrendered himself at the Lake County Jail at 9 a.m. Wednesday and was booked, according to jail records.
Nelson, a Gilroy resident, has been involved with the Hoberg's Resort and Spa property since 2010.
In April he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for willfully violating a Cal/OSHA standard for potentially exposing his employees to asbestos during a 2012 renovation project, as Lake County News has reported: www.bit.ly/1OSXFwk .
The plea deal Nelson reached with a circuit prosecutor included three years’ probation, 60 days in the county jail, 340 hours of community service, a $5,000 fine and a nondeductible sum of $20,000 to the Lakeside Health Clinic of Lake County.
Since the sentencing, much of the historic resort buildings burned in the Valley fire in September.
Hoberg's has since then been a staging area for trees removed by PG&E and other entities in the Valley fire area, which has caused concern for county officials and area residents.
Nelson had planned to run a milling operation at the resort, but county officials closed the project down due to conditions and ordered that the property be cleaned up.
As of Wednesday, a large number of logs still remained at the property, which has not been cleaned up to the county's specifications, according to Supervisor Rob Brown.
