Document Description
This project will be the establishment and maintenance of Shaded fuel breaks that are a part of the Community Fuel Break System in northern Amador County. The project will consist of fuels reduction projects that will utilize fire crew brush cutting, pile burning, and broadcast prescribed fire. The fuels treatment mechanism that is most favored is broadcast prescribed fire. The desired width of the shaded fuel break is 500 ft however the width will be increased to as much as 1,400 ft if the topography remains under 30%. The project is located along Shakeridge and extends to the north slopes leading to the Cosumnes River. Activities will be concentrated on the main ridge and the spur ridges leading to the north, proposed activities (brush cutting and prescribed fire) will not be initiated in permanent or intermittent watercourses. Archaeological resources identified during the Archaeological Survey needing protection will be avoided. To avoid impacts to nesting birds, areas to be burned during the April 1st through August 1st nesting season shall be surveyed by the VMP coordinator prior to project initiation. If nesting raptors are found within the burn area, burning shall be suspended within 1/2 mile of the nest site until after August 1st.
