Title

Initial Study-Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed Lassen National Forest (LNF) Eagle Lake Ranger District (ELRD) Hazard Tree Management Project L

Description

The Dixie Fire began on July 13, 2021 by a PG&E powerline and was contained on October, 25, 2021. The wildfire burned 963,309 acres. It was the largest single source wildfire in recorded California history. The fire resulted in expansive stretches of fire-killed and fire-damaged trees adjacent to National Forest System roads, trails, and facilities managed by LNF ELRD that now present a safety hazard. The primary purpose of this project is to provide for the safe use of National Forest System roads, trails, and facilities to the public, Forest Service staff, firefighters, emergency response personnel, law enforcement, private inholding landowners, contractors, special use permit holders, and others.
