Document Description
A 3.5-acre area of Ammophila arenaria (Beachgrass), an introduced species, is to be burned. The project will be implemented January 2005. This area is located in the Oso Flaco Lake area of Oceano Dunes SVRA. The goal of this burn is to provide area for native plant communities within the park. Implementing a broadcast burn greatly reduces the amount of work and resources required to manually remove the species and the amount of herbicide required for control. Vegetation within the proposed burn is dominated by beachgrass. The soil consists of medium grained quartz and feldspar. This site has not been previously disturbed by development. Oso Flaco Creek will be utilized as a control line and as a source of water to extinguish spot fires, if they occur. A sump pump will be placed on a platform adjacent to the creek and a hose will reach from the pump to the creek. The sump pump will only be in place for the duration of the burn.
