Document Description
WRTC is planning an approx. 35 acre prescribed burn project on private property in Glencoe, CA. This property is within Spruce Creek Watershed (10,600 acres) which drains into the Mulkulumne River (North and Middle Fork). Elevations range from approx. 2200' - 2500'. Aspects are primarily N and N. Topography is mostly gentle (15%-45%) throughout much of the project area. However, there are steep sections, generally associated with creeks and draws, with slopes up to 70%. Humbug Gulch, a Class II stream, flow north into the North Fork Mulkulumne River along the eastern portions of the property. Boundaries for each burn unit can vary but are generally associated with roads, creeks, trails, and property lines. Low-moderate intensity prescribed fire is the primary practice associated with this project. Control lines vary with each unit but are generally characterized by roads, creeks, trails, hand line, and mow line (existing).
