Document Description
This project consists of CAL FIRE conservation camp crews being tested on their ability to construct hand-cut fire line within prescribed hand-line production guidelines to ensure that they are prepared for fire season. All work is done using hand tools and chainsaws. A 20-feet wide linear fire line is cut in the brush by each crew above ground level, with approximately 5 feet of the 20 feet width being scraped to mineral soil using shovels and other hand tools.

Reasons for Exemption
The CNDDB and the joint USFS/CAL FIRE Oak Glen-Banning Fuelbreaks Project biological survey revealed no known rare, threatened or endangered species within the project area. This study did indicate modeled habitat for two listed species in the riparian areas on the project. Any potential impact to this modeled habitat will be avoided by prohibiting any fire line construction in or near riparian habitat. An archaeology records check and field survey conducted by a CAL FIRE archaeologist found no archaeological or historic sites within the project area.
