With the recent drought years in California, communities like Ruth Lake, have numerous dead hazard trees throughout their area. There are summer cabins and roadways with hazard trees that pose a fire and safety threat to the summer cabins on property owned by the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District. The dead trees identified as a hazard tree around structures and roadways will be felled by a professional tree falling contractor to assure no damage will be done to the cabins and infrastructure. None of the material from the treated trees or brush species will be used for commercial purposes. The larger trees will be limbed and bucked with the material chipped or left on site. The cut brush will be chipped on-site and spread over the ground to help prevent erosion in the future. Vegetation along roads will be treated using a masticator head affixed to an excavator. This equipment will only operate on existing road prism to assure no ground disturbance will occur. These fuel management activities will reduce the volume of flammable vegetation in the area surrounding Ruth Lake thereby reducing the chance for wildfire spread into communities around the lake or for a fire within the communities to spread to adjacent wildlands while also providing safer ingress/egress for fire crews and control features to aid in firefighting efforts.",https://ceqanet.opr.ca.gov/2022060469,Ruth Lake Fire Reduction Project,Tim Meyers,California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection,Forester I,Tim.Meyers@fire.ca.gov,118 S Fortuna Blvd,,Fortuna,CA,95540,7077261251,,,Trinity,,,,1400,,,,,,,,,,,,,Categorical Exemption,Class 4 § 15304 Minor Alterations to Land,"This project fits within the descriptions of a Class 4 Categorical Exemption described in CEQA Guidelines pertaining to Minor Alterations to Land.
