Lead Agency: Marin Municipal Water District
Document Title: Draft Biodiversity, Fire, and Fuels Integrated Plan Environmental Impact Report
Document Type: EIR - Draft EIR
Received: 3/20/2019

Document Description: Note: Extended Review Per Lead. The Marin Municipal Water District (district) proposes to implement the Biodiversity, Fire, and Fuels Integrated Plan (BFFIP) on District's lands on Mount Tamalpais and at Nicasio and Soulajule reservoirs. The BFFIP identifies actions that are designed to achieve the goals of minimizing the risk from wildfires, preserving and enhancing existing significant biological resources, and allowing for an adaptive framework for the periodic review and revision of the BFFIP in response to changing conditions and improved knowledge. Direct effects on the environment could occur from the use of hand tools and mechanical equipment to establish and maintain fuelbreaks and defensible spaces; to remove invasive plant species; and to improve and restore native ecosystems on watershed lands. No herbicides would be used under the BFFIP.
