Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. The Alpine County Wildfire Risk Mitigation Plan is a 10-year plan that will be a County-wide effort that will encompass all communities within Alpine County. 2. The Alpine County Wildfire Risk Mitigation Plan will include an assessment of candidate fuels reduction projects in the WUI areas around all existing communities to identify high medium and low priorities. The foundation for these project priorities will be the Community Wildfire Protection plans from eastern and western Alpine County, the California Fire Hazard Severity Maps for Alpine County and recent identification of fuels reduction projects done by the Alpine Biomass Collaborative. For the purpose of this project, land ownership/jurisdiction will be ignored in identifying logical areas for fuels reduction projects. The only exception will be for designated wilderness or other areas where vegetation treatment options are severely limited by law or regulation. 3. Select up to 3 top priority fuels reduction projects for detailed planning needed to bring them to a “project ready” stage. This will include vegetation treatment prescriptions targeted for hazardous fuels reduction and forest resilience, environmental clearances and information necessary to obtain required permits. The number of projects selected for detailed planning will be dependent upon the anticipated costs and time necessary to complete the necessary work as described. 4. The plan will also include a risk assessment of existing access and identify possible secondary ingress/egress and emergency evacuation routes from vulnerable community areas. 5. Alpine County will invite a wide range of agencies, organizations, tribal government and general public present in the county to participate as stakeholders. This includes three National Forests (Eldorado, Humboldt-Toiyabe, and Stanislaus), the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit of the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, CAL Fire Amador-El Dorado and Tuolumne-Calaveras units, California State Parks, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Alpine Watershed Group, Alpine Biomass Collaborative, Alpine Fire Safe Council, Calaveras County Fire Safe Council, three volunteer fire departments (Bear Valley, Eastern Alpine and Kirkwood), the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California and general public.
