USFS Stanislaus National Forest Ground Operations

The USFS Stanislaus National Forest Ground Operations project is managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, specifically the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division. This forecast project focuses on the ongoing maintenance of recreation facilities across various locations within the Stanislaus National Forest, spanning Alpine, Calaveras, Mariposa, and Tuolumne counties. The scope of work includes managing trail tread surfaces and drainage controls, trail brushing, and the upkeep of campground sites, restrooms, fencing, barriers, and trail signage and information boards. Additionally, the project encompasses monitoring activities and public outreach. The project is strictly limited to the maintenance of existing facilities and will not expand current operations or facility use. Under CEQA Section 15301, the project has been issued a Notice of Exemption as it is categorized as maintenance of existing facilities that poses no significant environmental impact. The primary point of contact for this effort is Scott Soares, Senior Environmental Scientist. The project is classified under NAICS code 561730.
