Document Description
This project entails removing un-merchantable sized trees and brush to create an estimated 41 acre modified shaded fuel break to reduce the potential of a costly and damaging wildfire to over 50 households with an estimated 159 community members living in the Pleasant Valley/Chrome Ridge area. The fuel break will be constructed around the perimeter of the Chrome Ridge community along existing roads. Treatments will vary in width from approximately 50-100-200 feet from the road shoulder or ridge. No ground disturbing equipment (i.e. bulldozer or excavator pushing soil) will be utilized.
