Hazard Mitigation Grant Fuel Break

The Hazard Mitigation Grant Fuel Break project, managed by the County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation, focuses on the maintenance and management of fuel breaks across several county properties. This initiative is conducted in collaboration with Cal Fire and the San Diego County Fire Protection District to ensure all activities align with their specific recommendations for managed lands. The scope of work includes the removal of dead vegetation, the creation of shaded fuel breaks, and the enhancement of fire-prone habitats to reduce overall fire risk. These objectives will be achieved through the use of hand tools and controlled grazing within existing fuel management areas. The project will be performed at various locations, including Hellhole Canyon County Preserve, Butterfield Trails Ranch County Preserve, Star Valley County Park, Lawrence and Barbara Daley County Preserve, Mason County Preserve, Pine Valley County Park, and Potrero County Park. Under NAICS code 561730, the project has been deemed exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under sections 15301 and 15304, as it involves minor land alterations and the maintenance of existing areas. Kiran Seibel, Group Program Manager, serves as the primary point of contact for the project.
