Tahoma Urban Fuel Hazard Reduction

The Tahoma Urban Fuel Hazard Reduction project, managed by the California Tahoe Conservancy, focuses on improving forest health and reducing wildfire risks to the adjacent community in El Dorado County, California. The scope of work involves forestry activities to reduce conifer and chaparral densities and the removal of live, dead, dying, and diseased trees. These efforts are designed to increase the vigor of the forest stand and enhance resilience against insect and disease outbreaks. The project area encompasses land owned by the Tahoe Conservancy, the US Forest Service, and El Dorado County, with specific parcel data and acreage identified for the performance of these activities. The project is categorized as exempt under Class 4, Section 15304(i) for minor land alterations, as the activities are strictly for forestry purposes and do not significantly change land use. The primary point of contact for the project is Jason A. Pollard, an Environmental Scientist and Forest Management Coordinator.
