Document Description
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention (CAL FIRE) would be providing funding to help implement vegetation treatments on up to 3,000 acres of State Responsibility Area (SRA) Lands throughout Yuba County. The Yuba County Water Agency has prepared a Project-Specific Analysis (PSA) and addendum for the project as a later activity covered by the California Vegetation Treatment Project (CalVTP) Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the New Bullards Bar Forest Health Project. The proposed treatment types (wildland-urban interface fuel reduction, fuel break, and ecological restoration) and treatment activities (prescribed burning, mechanical treatment, manual treatment, prescribed herbivory, and herbicide application) are consistent with those evaluated in the CalVTP Program EIR. Maintenance treatments would involve the same vegetation treatment types and activities used in the initial treatments. The purpose of these treatments is to promote forest and watershed health, reduce fuel load, and demonstrate efficacy of climate beneficial prescriptions.
