AI Contract Overview

The San Andreas Ballpark Project aims to reduce wildfire risks by implementing vegetation treatments across roughly five acres surrounding the CAL FIRE Tuolumne–Calaveras Unit Service Center and approximately 25 acres within Alex Quinones Community Park in San Andreas, Calaveras County. The project area lies in a grass–oak woodland zone adjacent to residential neighborhoods, Mark Twain Hospital, and other high-risk assets, making fuel reduction critical for community safety. Treatments will combine manual and mechanical methods including hand piling, pile burning, chipping, and broadcast burning to manage hazardous fuels, control invasive species, and reduce ladder fuels. Tree limbs will be pruned up to 12 feet in height, and wood debris will be either chipped and spread on site to a maximum depth of six inches or burned during approved burn windows. Ground equipment such as tracked and wheeled chippers and dozers will be used for vegetation treatment, erosion control, and establishing fire containment lines during prescribed burns. The project includes a long-term maintenance component allowing for periodic prescribed broadcast burning and limited mechanical or hand treatments within the same area using the same methods. Dozers will support not only fire operations but also infrastructure maintenance tasks. All activities will be conducted within established burn windows to ensure safety and environmental compliance. The implementation of these measures is designed to protect nearby residences, critical infrastructure, and public recreational spaces by reducing the potential for catastrophic wildfire spread. The project is managed by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, with Roger Petersen, Forester II, serving as the primary point of contact for coordination and inquiries.

Full Description

The San Andreas Ballpark Project proposes fuel reduction treatments across approximately five acres surrounding the CAL FIRE TuolumneCalaveras Unit Service Center and approximately 25 acres within Alex Quinones Community Park. The project area is located within the community of San Andreas, Calaveras County, along Mountain Ranch Road and Pope Street. Alex Quinones Community Park provides recreational opportunities for residents of Calaveras County, including baseball fields, a disc golf course, and horseshoe pits. The CAL FIRE Service Center and the community park are situated within a grassoak woodland vegetation type. The project will implement a combination of manual and mechanical vegetation treatment methods in preparation for broadcast burning. Broadcast burning will be used to reduce hazardous fuel loads, manage vegetative overgrowth, and control invasive plant species. Fuels may also be treated through hand piling, pile burning, and chipping. Hand piles will be chipped or burned, and remaining wood debris may be treated through broadcast burning during appropriate burn windows. Chips may be spread on site to a maximum depth of 6 inches. Ladder fuels will be reduced, and trees will be pruned up to a height of up to 12 feet. Ground based equipment will include tracked and/or wheeled chippers. Dozers may be used to construct containment lines during prescribed fire operations as well as for installing erosion control and performing other maintenance where needed. Future maintenance may include prescribed broadcast burning, and limited mechanical or hand treatments as needed, within the same project footprint using the treatment methods described above. The project area is adjacent to Mark Twain Hospital, multiple residential subdivisions, and other high-risk assets within Calaveras County. Implementation of the San Andreas Ballpark Project will reduce wildfire risk to the community of San Andreas and protect nearby values at risk, including critical infrastructure and residential areas.
