Document Description
This project focuses on fuel reduction on an estimated 670 acres divided into two
operational units on either side of Jamestown Road. Surface and ladder fuels will be reduced or modified by mastication, tractor piling and burning, chipping or by hand cutting and chipping or piling and burning. Mastication and tractor piling and burning may be conducted by a variety of track laying type machines. Hand work for chipping, as well as piling and burning or lopping and scattering will be conducted by hand crews using chainsaws and other hand tools. Trees less than 12-inches in diameter
at breast height (dbh), surface fuels and ladder fuels will be treated to achieve a target residual tree spacing of 25 to 30-feet between stems. In areas where no trees are available for retention, aggregations of brush may be retained. Dead trees of any size may be felled and chipped, piled and burned or masticated. Masticated or chipped material will be left on site. The reduction in vegetation will create a shaded fuel break condition that will minimize fire behavior and create a stand structure that is
resistant to stand replacing fires.
