Document Description
The Humboldt County Resource Conservation District (HCRCD) has prepared a Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum (PSA/Addendum) for the project as a later activity covered by the California Vegetation Treatment Project (CalVTP) Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR): The McKinleyville Vegetation Treatment Project (project or proposed project) consists of vegetation treatments for wildfire risk reduction and forest health improvement on approximately 3,641 acres, encompassing 3,043 acres of land owned by Green Diamond Resource Company (Green Diamond) and approximately 598 acres of land owned by the McKinleyville Community Services District (MCSD) in western Humboldt County, between McKinleyville and Fieldbrook, two communities north of Arcata, California. The project area consists of privately owned commercial forest land and a publicly owned community forest. The CalVTP treatment types that would be implemented are shaded fuel breaks and wildland-urban interface (WUI) fuel reduction. The proposed CalVTP treatment activities are mechanical vegetation treatment, manual vegetation treatment, prescribed fire, and targeted herbicide application. Biomass would be processed on-site in the form of pile burning or broadcast burning or vegetation that would be cut and piled, chipped, or lopped and scattered. Prescribed burning and herbicide treatments would not be implemented on MCSD lands.
