Chips Fire Roadside Hazard Tree Removal Project
Approximately six miles (up to 250 acres) of five main NFS and/or Plumas County roads have been identified for hazard tree removal. Those roads, listed in order of treatment priority are: 27N26, 27N26D, Plumas County road 306 (Seneca Road), 27N98, and 26N22. The majority of hazard trees proposed for removal occur in high severity burned areas; however, hazard trees within mixed severity burned areas would also be included to ensure the safety of road users in all those areas where burned trees pose a genuine risk of falling into the roadway. The four roads that are to be treated provide access to the communities of Caribou and Seneca, Butt Valley Reservoir, and PG&E infrastructure. Further, these roads are main motor ways connecting the Plumas National Forest and Mt. Hough Ranger District northern boundaries to State Highway 70, and are therefore used by the recreating public.
