Notes
01/29/2024 10:52 AM Brent Moore In 2023 a total of 121 individual state-owned parcels comprising 60.4 acres were treated by hand thinning and mechanical means to reduce wildfire fuel loading. Vegetation management, fire prevention, forest restoration, soil stability, and water quality represent the primary focuses of land and vegetation management on State owned Urban Parcels in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Additionally, another 23 individual state owned parcels totaling 8.76 acres were cleared by the burning of 131 fuel pile created during fuels work in 2022.

Work was accomplished during the 2023 field utilizing Tahoe Douglas and North Lake Tahoe fire protection district crews under interlocal agreements, contractors under state master service agreements, and internal NDSL staff. Funding for project work in the 2023 field season was a combination of state bond funds, SNPLMA Round 15 funds, LTRA funds, and NV Energy funds under a cooperative agreement with NDSL.

A second seeding was done using native plant seeds on approximately .2 acres of the 8 acre Clancy-Pohl parcel off of Granite Springs Road in Stateline that was restored for impermeable coverage and excavation in 2022. A second dispersal of compost was dispersed over this second seeding to increase success of seeding and improve backfilled soil composition. Additionally roughly .1 acres were treated for noxious weeds on the Clancy-Pohl parcel in July of 2023.
12/22/2022 9:52 AM Jason Furmaniak In 2022 a total of 124 individual state-owned parcels comprising 58.3 acres were treated by hand thinning operations to reduce wildfire fuel loading. Vegetation management, and forest restoration are ongoing components of the overall maintenance of the agency’s conservation areas on the East shore of Lake Tahoe. Maintaining healthy vigorous forests that are less susceptible to bark beetle infestation, reducing wildfire fuel loading, preserving suitable wildlife habitat, and managing for erosion control and water quality are the core elements of our agency’s forest management strategy for the Urban Lot program in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

58 parcels comprising 39 acres treated in 2022 were funded by Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) Round 15. 54 parcels comprising 13.9 acres were treated as part of a cooperative agreement between NV Energy, North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District and the Nevada Division of State Lands to reduce wildfire fuel loading in the Incline Village, and Crystal Bay area.
01/06/2022 11:17 AM Jason Furmaniak A total of 25 parcels were treated by hand thinning, dead tree removals, bark beetle infested tree removals, a thinning operation for crown spacing, and brush reduction and ladder fuel removal operations. Vegetation management, and forest restoration are ongoing components of the overall maintenance of the agency’s conservation areas on the east shore of Lake Tahoe. Maintaining healthy vigorous forests that are less susceptible to bark beetle infestation, reducing wildfire fuel loading, preserving suitable wildlife habitat, and managing for erosion control and water quality are the core elements of our agency’s forest management strategy for the Urban Lot program.
