CHAPTER 5150 - FUEL MANAGEMENT
5151 - FUEL TREATMENT. Fuel treatment plans are required for all projects generating fuels.
FSM 5150 and Regional supplements should be reviewed prior to developing these plans. As a
minimum, plans are to include:
l. A discussion of the present and potential risks in the general area of the project. Fire
history of the area.
2. Potential for a major fire and anticipated resource losses. Threats to lives and private
property.
3. Inventory of present fuel loading and estimated fuel loading to be added as a result of
the project.
4. Proposed methods of fuel treatment. If possible, develop more than one alternative.
5. Provision for utilization of slash for fuel wood.
6. Analysis of potential smoke management problems.
7. A map delineating areas and methods of treatment.
The Fuel Treatment Plan can be either developed as a separate document and attached to the
EAR as a part of the Appendix or it can be integrated into the EAR. Whichever method is used,
the above listed elements must be addressed.
