Alta Dutch Flat Elementary School Vegetation Reduction Progject

The Alta Dutch Flat Elementary School Vegetation Reduction Project is a fuel reduction initiative managed by the Alta Elementary School District to mitigate wildfire risks on 9.75 acres of land located in Alta, Placer County, California. The scope of work involves comprehensive vegetation management using both hand and mechanical methods, including chipping, hazard tree removal, mastication, prescribed burning, prescribed herbivory, and the use of herbicides. These activities are designed for regular maintenance on an annual or seasonal basis, with strict constraints prohibiting work within riparian or aquatic sites and limiting project access to existing public roadways and rights of way. The project is classified under NAICS code 561730 and is managed by the Director of Facilities, Brian J Mavricz. Administratively, the project has been filed with a Notice of Exemption under Class 4, Section 15304 for Minor Alterations to Land, as the activities are not expected to result in significant environmental impacts. The project is centered in the Colfax area, specifically within the NE1/4 of the SW1/4, SE1/4 of the NW1/4, and Lot 5 of Sec. 36, T16 North, R10 East MDPM.
