North Tahoe Fire Protection District will reduce hazardous fuels on at least 300 acres, but not more than 700 acres of highest priority WUI Defense Zone areas within North Tahoe and Meeks Bay Fire Protection Districts as identified in the Lake Tahoe Basin Community Wildfire Protection Plan. These treatments will improve forest health and reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfire, protecting life, property, and critical infrastructure in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

Threshold Categories
-
cost-effective hazardous fuel reduction treatments help protect life, property, critical infrastructure and the environment from the effects of catastrophic wildfire. The project will restore forest health by acting as a surrogate for frequent, low intensity wildfire that burned Lake Tahoe Basin forests prior to Comstock logging and fire suppression in the late 1800s.
-
Project will protect source water quality by preventing the rapid transport of nutrient loaded sediment that occurs after catastrophic wildfire.
-
Treatments are designed to mitigate the risk of stand-replacing wildfire, which can destroy suitable wildlife habitat. The implementation process includes conducting comprehensive surveys. In regard to resilient vegetative communities, the Nomination will reduce stand densities and alter species composition therefore reducing the competition for light, nutrients, and water. This will result in a more open, diverse stand that is more resilient to insects, disease, and the effects of a changing climate.

| 12/27/2023 6:27 PM | April Shackelford | We entered into our agreement with SNPLMA early in 2023. Planning, design, and landowner engagement took place throughout the rest of the year. We sent potential treatment areas to our archeologist with SNPLMA and look forward to their assistance in gaining cultural compliance. A few fuels reduction projects are beginning to emerge on private property. We are working to gain full cultural and environmental compliance for these areas and begin implementation of this project. | ||
| 01/06/2023 9:04 AM | April Shackelford | Over the last quarter we held a pre-work meeting with our representative from the BLM - SNPLMA Division. She was introduced to our team here and the roles we will serve for this grant project. Then, some of the properties that will likely be treated for fuels reduction were visited. A Notice of Award was received, however there are a few clerical errors we are addressing before presenting the grant to the Fire District Board for acceptance. A list of properties has been compiled that are likely to receive treatment. We look forward to getting the Assistance Agreement fully executed so we can engage with the planning process for this grant. |
