Overview

Basics
The West Shore WUI Project proposes vegetation and fuels treatments to reduce stand densities to improve forest health, reduce fire hazards from existing fuels, and modify fire behavior to provide defensible space for adjoining developed private lands. Treatment options include ground based mechanical treatments wherever slope and road access allow, and hand treatments where steeper and/or rocky slopes prohibit mechanical equipment operations. The proposed action includes 110 treatment units, and approximately 100 urban lots, totaling approximately 4,875 acres.

Notes
Notes
| 01/23/2025 2:16 PM | Brian Garrett | In addition to the Eagle contract, 8 acres of hand thinning and piling was completed by the CHIPs Washoe Tribe crew above Tahoe City. | ||
| 01/13/2025 10:53 AM | Brian Garrett | LTBMU awarded the Eagle handthin contract for 354 acres. Work began on the project and about 40% of the acres were treated in 2024. The Tahoe Pine contract began operation and was completed. One unit off of the end of Grand Avenue was dropped from the contract due to an access issue, a total of 83 acres. The access issue has been resolved, and these acres will be readvertised in 2025 and are anticipated to be completed in 2025. Additional field layout for two hand thinning contracts was completed in 2024, those contracts will be awarded in 2025. | ||
| 01/12/2024 4:01 PM | Brian Garrett | Tahoe City WT contract was cancelled. The project is being repackaged into two separate contracts and will be awarded in 2024. Additional funding for anticipated contract cost were added from LTRA funds. Additional field work was needed to finalize Eagle HT contract field layout and was completed in 2023. The contact will now be awarded in 2024. Work did not begin on Tahoe Pines CTL contract, that work will begin in 2024. | ||
| 01/13/2023 10:14 AM | Brian Garrett | Burton Creek WT mechanical treatment was completed in 2022. Additionally, 309 acres of hand thin acres were field prepped for contact - Eagle Handthin contract is planned to be awarded and begin implementation in 2023. The Tahoe Pines Mechanical contract was not implemented in 2022, but is anticipated to begin implementation in 2023. The Tahoe City WT project was not implemented and is anticipated to begin in 2023. | ||
| 01/17/2022 6:42 PM | Brian Garrett | The Ward Creek CTL project was completed in FY21, the project was funded by the Calfiornia Wildlife Conservation Board. The Burton Creek WT project awarded in FY20 began and was planned to be completed, however Calfornia Fires and suppression response by the contractor prevented the work to be completed as planned. The project final 68 acres of the project will be completed in FY22. | ||

| 03/04/2019 8:28 PM | Brian Garrett | $1,000,000 in federal fuels funding secured in 2018 and $950,000 in CA WCB grant funding received via National Forest Foundation partnership, funding spent in 2018 on NFF Stewardship Agreement, acres to be accomplished in 2019 | ||
| 02/15/2018 2:13 PM | Brian Garrett | Funding updated, USFS - $360 for prep/layout - FY18 USFS RO funding; $200 - FY17 supplemental fuels funding | ||
| 01/12/2018 8:17 AM | Brian Garrett | Planning was completed in Spring of 2017. Timber Waiver permitting, and some project layout on USFS Urban Forest Parcels included in the project was completed. Agreement with the CCC to implement fuels treatments on USFS lands was completed. GGRF grant funding was received for hand treatment in two small units near Tahoe City. Implementation is planned to begin in FY18. | ||
| 06/10/2016 2:31 PM | System | This project is in the planning phase, completion of NEPA/decision expected by December 2016. This project is separate from the Tahoe West Collaborative Large Landscape Restoration Project. |
