This project proposes to maintain 177 miles of NFS roads and trails by removing and replacing existing road surfaces, guard rails, signs, and culverts; reshaping road surfaces; cleaning ditches and culverts; and abating hazard trees.
The Forest Service has formalized a partnership with Berry Creek Rancheria to pursue the goal of improving forest health, preventing forest loss, improving woodlands' resilience to future disturbance, restoring historical forest structure after fire.
Develop a multi-purpose (hiking, biking, OHVs, equestrian) trail connecting the Crocker Campground with Red Clover Valley. Establish a staging area at the intersection of Forest Highway 177 and Forest Road 24N23.
Continued mining using heavy equipment to excavate materials from existing pit, and process with a trommel wash plant 7 sluice box. Occupancy of the site during operations will include tents and a portable toilet.
This HFRA wildfire resilience project is designed to treat the wildland urban interface (WUI)around the communities of Challenge and Woodleaf, California; enhance firefighter safety; remove hazardous trees along roads; improve forest health.
The Claremont Trails project will evaluate existing OHV trails on Claremont Peak and the surrounding area, in order to add approximately 40 miles of Forest Service system OHV trails to the area.
We propose to reduce risk of wildfire impacts to communities and critical infrastructure, within Greater American Valley, Greater Mohawk Valley, and West Slope communities. Our project is consistent with the Community Protection Concept, PALS#62128.
We propose to reduce risk of wildfire impacts to communities and critical infrastructure, within Eastside communities with moderate-, high-, or very high-risk wildfire hazard potential. Consistent with the Community Protection Concept, PALS#62128.
We propose to reduce risk of wildfire impacts to communities and critical infrastructure, improve ingress and egress to communities, and reduce the potential for extreme fire behavior in the wildland urban interface through an all-lands approach.
Road management and travel safety in areas of high-severity burning during the North Complex requires judicial application of herbicide to control brush and non-native invasive plant species (NNIS).
The French Creek I project proposes to reduce hazardous fuels and stand density through commercial and pre-commercial thinning, mastication of brush and prescribed burning using GTR-220 and 237 methods. The project will treat no more than 3,000 acres
Proposes to reduce stand density and hazardous fuels through commercial and pre-commercial thinning, mastication of brush, and prescribed burning. Residual stands will be more open, increasing the amount of available soil moisture and sunlight.
The Forest Service is proposing to meet the need for additional OHV riding opportunities for the Granite Basin recreation area. This proposal has two components: construction/reconstruction of OHV trail and road reclassification to authorize OHV use.
Mooretown Rancheria has applied for a special use permit to rebuild, operate, and maintain a traditional religious and cultural Round House on the site where an earlier Round House was completely destroyed by the North Complex Fire.
This project would implement fuels reduction and forest restoration treatments on approximately 8,800 acres across the norther portion of American Valley. The intent is to protect values at risk near the community of Quincy.
Designate over-snow vehicle (OSV) use on National Forest System roads and trails and areas on National Forest System lands as allowed, restricted, or prohibited. Identify trails for snow grooming for OSV use would be conducted.
Authorize holder to operate, maintain, and upgrade existing waterlines across NFS lands to adjoining private camp through issuance of a 20 year Special Use permit.
This project proposes to allow Spanish Ranch Quincy LLC to operate and maintain the Silver Lake Dam under a Special Use Permit. This proposal would authorize the use of the dam for continuing water impoundment, and ensure maintenance.
This project would replace twenty-six miles of fencing, four water systems, and three cattle guard wings, all associated with range allotments, and replace eleven wildlife guzzlers. *This project no longer includes timber harvest related activities.
