BLM Ukiah Field Office Ground Operations

The BLM Ukiah Field Office Ground Operations project, managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division, focuses on routine maintenance and improvements to existing off-highway vehicle routes and facilities. The scope of work includes maintaining trail surfaces and drainage, removing trash and hazardous trees, cleaning restrooms, delineating campsites, repairing vandalism, and installing signs and barriers. Additionally, the project involves providing visitor services and monitoring biological, archaeological, and soil resources. There is no proposed expansion of existing facility operations or maintenance activities. Performance will take place near Ukiah, California, specifically within the South Cow Mountain, Knoxville, and Indian Valley OHV areas, spanning Colusa, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, and Yolo counties. This project is categorized as exempt under CEQA Section 15301 for existing facilities, as the activities are not expected to cause significant environmental impact. Scott Soares serves as the primary point of contact for the project and CEQA compliance inquiries.
