USFS Modoc National Forest Ground Operations

The USFS Modoc National Forest Ground Operations project, managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division, involves essential maintenance activities across BLM land and Modoc National Forest. The scope of work includes the ongoing maintenance of approximately 15 miles of roads designated for OHV use, the grooming of approximately 50 miles of roads, and the implementation of erosion control and tree removal. Additionally, the project covers the upkeep of vault toilets and other facilities, the installation or replacement of signs and barriers, and general route maintenance and monitoring. Performance of these services will take place in Lassen, Modoc, and Siskiyou counties, specifically within areas operated by the Applegate Field Office. The project is classified under NAICS code 561730 and is designated as a special notice solicitation. Under CEQA Categorical Exemption 15301 for Existing Facilities, the project is exempt from certain environmental reviews as it maintains existing infrastructure without expanding facility use or operations.
