Full Description

Show more

Approximately 40 acres are to be treated. Project objective is to establish a shaded fuel break along the access road to slow wildfire behavior, improve ingress/egress for emergency personnel, and provide a defensible fire line and staging area. Roadside fuel reduction shall extend 100 feet on either side of the road. Low slopes and stable soils make the site suitable for mastication equipment. Mastication treatment will target suppressed trees less than or equal to 8 inches diameter at breast height (DBH), along with dense brush and ladder fuels. Cutting and mastication shall occur simultaneously, with residues mulched to a depth no greater than 4 inches and kept away from the boles of residual trees. Larger trees may be removed where doing so supports treatment objectives and the development of desired stand structure, All residual trees 20 feet or greater in height shall be pruned from ground level to 8 to 10 feet, retaining at least 50% live crown. Pruning will increase canopy base height, reduce vertical fire spread, and improve wood quality of future crop trees.
