Info

Nevada County – The fuels reduction program within Nevada got it start through the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Program (HGMP). We initially received approval for approximately $600,000 to create fuel breaks and provide chipping services to specific areas within the County. This program sparked the interest of many of the residents that lived outside of the identified project areas and they immediately began requesting that the same service become available throughout the County. The following year we were able to accomplish that through $22,000 of Fuels Reduction funds provided by CDF through the Fuels Reduction Program. Those funds introduced many residents to the Chipping Program and resulted in a demand that was greater than we could have hoped for. To date the Chipper Program has resulted in the treatment of over 2,917 residences by processing in excess of 208,000 cubic yds of fuels at those residences. We have also treated over 80 acres along more than eight miles of roads by removing more than 1,200 tons of vegetative fuels to create roadside fuels reduction areas. We have continued the program over the years through funds from a variety of sources including but not limited to: WUI Grants ($216,000), Forest Stewardship Grant ($165,000), BLM ($228,000), USFS ($220,000, Northern Sierra AQMD ($75,000), Nevada County $(129,000), Allstate Insurance ($33,000), Proposition 40 Funds ($235,000) in 05-06 FY, and a number of home-owner associations ($45,000). Through Prop 204 ($125,000) over 300 acres were treated by our cooperators. Options are now being considered to allow the program to continue if Grant funding becomes unavailable in the future. Placer County – Initial fuels reduction efforts in Placer County were undertaken as an outcome of the settlement between Placer County and Pacific Gas & Electric. Approximately $271,000 was set aside to reduce the fuel loading within the County. We utilized that as start up money to initiate the Residential Chipper Program within the County. To date the Chipper Program has resulted in the treatment of over 13,086 residences by processing in excess of 25,568 tons of fuels at those residences. Operation of the Placer County Chipper has also significantly reduced the volume of air pollutant emissions within Placer County. The following table contains the pollutant emission estimates prevented thru operation of the Placer County Chipper Program 1998-2006: Particulate Matter 10 (PM10) 276 tons Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5) 237 tons Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) 48 tons Oxides of Sulfur (Sox) 1.4 tons Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) 197 tons Carbon Monoxide (CO) 2,102 tons We have also treated over 150 acres along more than 40 miles of roads removing over 5,367 tons of vegetative fuels to create roadside fuels reduction areas .These areas will allow for reduced fire behavior along the roadways in times of fire emergencies. The program has been able to continue with the application of funds provided through Proposition 204 ($252,000), Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Grants $(506,000), Placer County Air Quality Management District (AQMD) $(65,000). Options are now being considered to allow the program to continue if Grant funding becomes unavailable in the future. (see Map following) Yuba County - The fuel reduction efforts in Yuba County have been directed primarily at large landowners. Approximately $966,000 has been spent treating parcels ten acres and larger. These funds were obtained by the Yuba Watershed Protection & Fire Safe Council through Prop 204 monies. NYP has established a contract with the Dobbins-Oregon House Fire Department 143
to provide chipping services throughout the foothill communities of Yuba County. By July 1, 2005 residential chipping services should be in place. These additional services will be dependent on Proposition 40 funding. 144
