Appendix J – Project Description FORESTHILL FUEL MODIFICATION PROJECT The Foresthill pre-fire project was designed to tie in with and increase the effectiveness of current projects that the Placer County Resource Conservation District (RCD) has implemented in the area as a result of grant funding from CDF and fuel break projects the Tahoe National Forest has started to the east of Foresthill. The RCD projects include a demonstration of a shaded fuel break for forest lots, education of the local population of fire safe standards, and fuel break planning for the Foresthill Divide. Foresthill Pre-fire Project: Event 1: An inspection program of the Foresthill Divide area to enforce the Public Resources Code 4291 Fire Safe standards (LE 38 Inspection). Placer County Planning Department estimates that there are approximately 2,400 housing units on the Divide. Over 700 of these homes have been inspected so far. Inspection of these housing units will serve two purposes: 1. Ensure compliance with PRC 4291. This will promote a fuel condition adjacent to structures where fire suppression resources will have a better chance of protecting homes should a wildfire occur. 2. Educate the homeowners of the state law requirements regarding defensible space standards and what they should do to help the chances of their house surviving a wildfire in the area. The Nevada Yuba Placer Unit has found, in its Nevada County LE 38 Inspection program in 2001, that 33% of the residences require a second inspection to ensure compliance with PRC 4291. Approximately 1% of the residences required a third inspection. Event 2: Second LE 38 inspection of approximately 800 housing units. Event 3: Third LE 38 inspection of approximately 24 housing units. *Includes General Services vehicle rental for inspectors. Event 4: A series a roadside fuel modification projects located in strategic areas to allow fire fighting resources access and a location to effectively suppress an encroaching wildfire. (This portion of the project has been completed). Event 5: Homeowner support for removal of vegetation as a result of the LE 38 inspections. The inspections will most likely occur in the late spring and summer months. Residents who remove vegetation as a result of the inspections may need alternative ways to dispose of the material. Burn days will be limited due to air quality and fire hazard concerns. The proposed support for the homeowner is to notify the residents that have been inspected as to a time frame when a chipper and crew will be by their street. The homeowner can then clear vegetation around their residence and bring it to the curbside. The crew will then chip the vegetation and deposit the material back onto the property. Multiple residents within the project area have made use of the chipper program and many others have cleared around their homes in an effort to reduce their fire hazard. Inspectors are not concentrating in the Foresthill area this year 139
(2006) as the community has begun to self police and make use of the chipper program in record numbers. Potential Stakeholders to participate in Cost Sharing to Fund the Project: • Placer County • Todd Valley Homeowners Association • Local Service Groups • Placer County Resource Conservation District • Placer County Air Pollution • Natural Resources Conservation Service • California Energy Commission • Tahoe National Forest • Bureau of Land Management • Bureau of Reclamation • American River Watershed CRMP • Foresthill Fire Protection District • Pacific Gas & Electric Estimated Cost of Proposed Project: $153,910.14 To date over $75,000 has been expended towards this program. The funding has come from a variety of programs including Pacific Gas & Electric settlement funds, Prop 204, and National Fire Plan monies. 140
