USFS Plumas National Forest Ground Operations

The USFS Plumas National Forest Ground Operations project is a forecast initiative managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, specifically the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division. The project focuses on the ongoing maintenance of recreation facilities across the Beckworth, Mt. Hough, and Feather River Ranger Districts, with operations centered near Quincy and spanning Butte, Lassen, Plumas, Sierra, and Yuba counties. The scope of work includes managing trail tread surfaces and drainage controls, trail brushing, and the maintenance of campground sites, restrooms, fencing, barriers, and trail signage and information boards. Additionally, the project encompasses monitoring activities, the purchase of necessary equipment, and public outreach efforts. A key constraint of this project is that no expansion of existing maintenance activities or facility operations is proposed. Under the guidance of Senior Environmental Scientist Scott Soares, the project has been issued a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Section 15301, as the activities pertain to existing facilities and are determined to have no significant environmental impact. The project is classified under NAICS code 561730.
