Document Description
The project would create a shaded fuel break on approximately 410 acres of private property in Nevada County. The proposed project would reduce flammable vegetation; create defensible space; and increase accessibility along evacuation routes. Treatment methods include manual, mechanical, prescribed fire (pile burning or air curtain burner), and chemical treatments (herbicides). Herbicides and burning are not planned for Phase 1 but may occur during future maintenance work.
