Project Info

Title

AB2551 Watershed Coordinator Grant – North East Subregion (SNC954-RFFCP)

Description

The Sierra Nevada Conservancy will provide funding for the Modoc Resource Conservation District to construct a shaded fuel break through roadside fuel reduction along 2 miles of Gatling Road. The goal of the project is to eliminate hazardous fuel loading that may pose a threat to local communities and infrastructure and help reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire. Vegetation treatment will be hand-thinning using chainsaws, chipping, and mastication within 100ft on each side of the un-paved road. CAL FIRE and contractor crews will thin trees to a minimum of 10’x10’ spacing while targeting larger trees for retention. Small trees, shrubs, and other surface fuels will be pruned to eliminate ladder fuels and general fuel buildup. Material generated by this fuel treatment will be processed using a variety of practices including a 14” chipper, pile burning, and mastication.
