- Description
- The Fish Camp Project is located on the Bass Lake Ranger District of the Sierra National Forest encompassing the area within The Big Creek Watershed. The project is immediately east of the community of Fish Camp (designated as Wildland Urban Intermix [WUI]) and State Highway 41.Vegetation types include ponderosa pine plantations, and wild stands made up of mixed conifer, true fir, and hardwood species, as well as areas dominated by brush, rock and steep slopes. Restoration objectives for the project area are summarized as follows: 1. Reduction in the surface and ladder fuels, that protects human communities from moderate/high intensity wildfires as well as minimizes the spread of wildfires that might originate in urban areas into the forested lands. The reasons for this need are to increase the efficiency of firefighting efforts and reduce risks to firefighters, the public, facilities and structures, and natural resources from moderate/high intensity wild fires. 2. Resilience of conifer stands to attack from insects, diseases, drought conditions, and/or wildfire. The reason for this need is conifer stands are well above normal stocking levels (stand densities) resulting in a decline in growth, health and resiliency, thus increasing a stands potential for higher rates of mortality. In meeting the aforementioned needs the action must also achieve the following purposes: 1. Reduction in the intensity and spread of wildfires across the landscape and near communities. The reason for this purpose is to provide a buffer between developed areas and wildlands where fire suppression capabilities are enhanced by modified fire behavior inside the WUI zones as well as provide a safe and effective area for fire suppression activities to occur (USDA-FS 2001, page 9). 2. Reduction in stand density within the lower and mid-canopy layers of conifer stands, to provide for increased stand resiliency, growth and vigor. The reason for this purpose is to increase the capability for forested stands to withstand drought conditions, attacks from insects and diseases, and the effects from wildfire. To accomplish these objectives, the contract includes the following components: Logging and removal of commercial timber (within both wildstands and plantations) and specified road reconstruction. The project is located on the SNF in Madera and Mariposa Counties, California (See Vicinity Map, Figure 1). The project area includes SNF System lands within the Bass Lake Ranger District of the SNF and includes portions of Township (T) 5 South(S), Range (R) 21 East (E), sections 8, 14, 15, 23-26, 35 and 36; T.5.S, R.22.E, sections 1-4, 9-36; and T.5.S, R.23.E sections 3-10, 14-22, 29 and 30 Mount Diablo Base and Meridian.
