Title

King Fire Restoration Project (SNC 933.4) - Corrected - (SCH 2019090254)

Description

The Sierra Nevada Conservancy will provide funding to the U.S. Forest Service, Eldorado National Forest, to complete forest fuel reduction activities in areas affected by the 2014 King Fire. This project will include forest fuel reduction, including the management of shrubs and dead trees. Project treatments will involve initial fuel reduction activities on approximately 3,600 acres, including skidding and piling of large and small material. The secondary treatments on these acres will include shrub control and biomass removal on approximately 1,900 acres. The project activities now include a minimum of 56 acres of treatments in the Cold Springs Units, which was not initially planned as part of the project under SNC's previous SCH 2019090254 NOEs for this project, filed in September 2019 and August 2020. These activities will reduce the risk of high-severity wildfire and support forest restoration on the Eldorado National Forest, promoting forest health and resiliency during future wildfire events.
