Document Description
The 2024 Mokelumne Hill Fuels Reduction Project (“Project”) is 0.25 miles and 1.5 miles east (respective units of Mokelumne Hill School and Boston Yale) of downtown Mokelumne Hill, Calaveras County, where it will provide the genesis for the Highway 26 Strategic Wildfire Defense System which runs from Mokelumne Hill on the west to Glencoe on the east. This project will treat approximately 40 acres of land (within and around which CEQA investigations have been conducted, with an approximate 300’ buffer area) on the rim of the North Fork Mokelumne River Canyon. The project is in the proximity of the 2015 Butte Fire. The understory is choked with brush and logs with dense ladder fuels that extend into a closed canopy of live oak, the recipe for catastrophic wildfire. The project will protect hundreds of structures in the vicinity of the treatment.
