Document Description
This project involves the hand clearing of brush, small trees (less than 6" in diameter) and dead woody debris (snags less than 11" in diameter) within two designated areas totaling 21 acres within 150' of access roads (see map) to reduce the fire hazard and create a shaded fuel break. Fuels will be either chipped and scattered, or hand piled for burning later when moisture levels are sufficiently high enough to allow for safe disposal and minimal risk for escape.
Rare Plant survey was conducted on the project area September- October 2013, Natural Diversity Data Base inquiry was made January 2014, no sensitive species were identified within the project area or immediate vicinity of the project area.
