Info

Bunker Hill (Nevada County) Location: Approximately 5 miles northwest of the town of Nevada City. The proposed project consists of approximately 1,000 acres of mixed brush, primarily on west, north and east facing slopes. Purpose: This project is within the South Yuba River Watershed. Shady Creek runs through the north end of the project and discharges into the South Fork of the Yuba River. The project objective is to reduce the potential of a costly and damaging fire within the treated and surrounding area. The location of the proposed burn is within a high priority target area for prefire projects as identified in the Nevada-Yuba-Placer Unit’s Prefire Management Plan. CDF’s Fire Plan process was utilized to identify these locations that have high fire hazards and numerous assets that are most at risk to costly and damaging fires. A series of prefire projects have been planned to create a contiguous area of hazardous fuel reduction to effectively create a shaded fuel break from Bridgeport extending east up the San Juan Ridge to North Bloomfield. These projects include the completed Bridgeport State Park prescribed VMP burns, the completed VMP prescribed burn at French Corral, Browning property, the completed and proposed Reader Ranch VMP projects, this proposed project, the completed Malakoff Diggins VMP project east of this project, and the completed Montezuma fuel break. These projects have been developed to create a strategic location where fire fighting resources may more effectively attempt fire suppression activities to stop a costly and damaging fire such as the 49’er fire of 1988. This proposed project will entail the pre-treatment of the brush fuel by creating hand piles with crews and/or piling and crushing with a track type dozer. Control lines will also be re-established by dozers and/or hand crews. Burn piles are to be treated in spring and early fall, however, other conditions may occur that will allow burn treatment at another time of the year. Some areas may be broadcast burned. CEQA: PEIR UC Research Station (Yuba County) Location: The VMP area encompasses treating approximately 1,040 acres in 7 units of the UC field station, approximately 12 miles west of Grass Valley, 7 miles southeast of Loma Rica, and 9 miles southwest of Dobbins. The UC Research Station VMP is an ongoing project to help manage and study means of managing and controlling noxious weeds and fire impacts on water quality. The weeds that are attempting to be controlled are yellow starthistle, barbed goatgrass, and medusahead. These burns allow the field station to scientifically evaluate the effectiveness of burning in a control program. The affect of a controlled, cool to moderate temperature burn on blue oaks will also be studied. CEQA: PEIR Chinquapin-North Tahoe Fire VMP (Placer County) Location: Approximately 20 acres between the Dollar Point subdivision and the Chinquapin Condominiums within the North Tahoe Fire Protection District near Tahoe City and Kings Beach. An additional 50 acres will be treated south of the Kingswood West subdivision. The - 41 –
urn will be conducted by CALFIRE, North Tahoe Fire Protection District and other local fire agencies. Purpose: The primary objectives of the project are for fuel hazard reduction, fuel modification and wildlife habitat improvement. The project area consists of Sierra mixed-conifer timber type. CEQA: Cal Fire Mitigated Negative Declaration Donner State Park VMP(Placer County) Location: Approximately 23 acres within the Donner State Park boundary. The project area is located south and west of the town of Truckee. Donner Lake is north of the project area. Purpose: The primary objectives of the projects are fuel hazard reduction and wildlife habitat improvement. The project area is strategically located to protect State Park facilities and the Town of Truckee, CA from a summer wildfire burning in Coldstream Valley or on Schallenberger Ridge. The project shall reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfire and improve native forest composition and structure. CEQA: PEIR Waddle Ranch VMP (Placer County) Location: Approximately 60 acres within the Truckee Tahoe Airport District Property in the Martis Valley. The project area is located east of the town of Truckee. Martis Lake is adjacent to the project area. Purpose: The primary objectives of the projects are fuel hazard reduction. The project shall reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfire and improve native forest composition and structure. CEQA: PEIR Foresthill Bridge VMP (Placer County) Location: Approximately 16 acres within the Auburn State Recreation Area boundary. The project area is located north and east of the town of Auburn. The Foresthill Bridge runs through the project area. Purpose: The primary objectives of the projects are fuel hazard reduction in preparation for a bridge retrofit project involving grinding and welding. The project shall reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfire and improve native vegetation composition and structure. CEQA: PEIR NEU Forest Practice The primary role of the Forest Practice Program is to enforce California’s Forestry and Fire Laws on privately-owned lands in California. These laws are found in the Public Resource Code - 42 –
