Document Description
The Humboldt County Public Works Department is providing funding to the Humboldt County Resource Conservation District to help implement treatments on up to 273 acres of State Responsibility Area (SRA) lands located within private industrial timberlands in the Pratt Mountain area of Mail Ridge, west of Phillipsville, Humboldt County, CA. Humboldt County Resource Conservation District has prepared a Project-Specific Analysis (PSA) and Addendum for the project as a later activity covered by the California Vegetation Treatment Project (CalVTP) Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Mail Ridge Forest Health and Wildfire Resilience Project. The proposed treatment types (i.e., wildland-urban interface fuel reduction, fuel break, and ecological restoration) and treatment activities (i.e., manual treatments, mechanical treatments, and prescribed burning including broadcast and pile burning) are consistent with those evaluated in the CalVTP Program EIR. Chaparral or coastal sage scrub vegetation types do not occur within the treatment, thus, PRC § 4483 would not apply. Maintenance treatments would involve the same vegetation treatment types and activities used in the initial treatments. The purpose of these treatments is to promote forest and watershed health, reduce fuel loads, and demonstrate the efficacy of climate beneficial prescriptions.
