Abstract
Environmental assessment reviews proposed activities designed to reduce fuels and associated fire behavior in the stands of timber adjacent to or within the wildland urban interface on Mt. Emily. Activities include ground-based removal of trees, road construction and reconstruction, cleaning and non-commercial thinning of small diameter trees in riparian areas and prescribed burning. Decision Notice announces implementation of Alternative 3, and the decision modification drops the treatment of 63 acres of prescribed burning (Unit 309) and 290 acres of mechanical fuels reduction, and finds the Canada lynx habitat protection area to be outside the boundaries of the project.
