Document Description
Treat approximately 46 acres in the natural lands surrounding the Bidwell Canyon marina and campgrounds at Lake Oroville State Recreation Area to reduce forest fuels management and enhance public safety. Work will:
• Create a 200-ft shaded fuel break around campsites and roadways;
• Retain live, healthy vigor trees over 8-inches DBH and remove ladder fuels of retained trees up to 10-ft above the ground;
• Remove biomass (under 8-in DBH) from the dripline of larger retained trees to break fire movement continuity and reduce ground to crown fire behavior;
• Thin understory shrubs to break up fire movement continuity; and
• Reduce or rearrange surface fuels (dead and downed vegetation) through chipping, pile burning, and/or broadcast burns.
