Project Area Description
All information for the project must fit into the space provided below. Attachments will not be considered by the review committee.
3
Provide a brief overview of the project and the project area. (If applying for a fuels reduction
project, identify vegetation types, fire regime) [1500 Characters Maximum]
Project will provide fuels reduction assistance , with chipping services, to home & landowners in
Jefferson, Crook & Deschutes counties to defray the disposal costs and minimize the need for
burning. ODF will work with CWPP groups, local fire departments, county officials, homeowner
associations and landowners to target project implementation areas ( 1st priority will be given to
CWPP groups, homeowners & homeowner associations that are identified as high in their CWPP's
as well as adjoin federal projects.). Most of these locations include ponderosa pine, mixed
ponderosa /lodgepol pine; or mixed ponderosa/western juniper stands that fall in Fire Regimes 1 &
2. ODF will work with fire depts., Project Wildfire and county officials in support of the tri-county
Fire Free Campaign offering grant funds to support chipping of debris that is collected during Fire
Free projects in Central Oregon. This project will also support work on private lands adjoining
these planned Federal projects(to name a few):
Deschutes County:
*The Safer project around Sisters,
*West Tumbul in Bend;
*Myst project between Sunriver & Lapine
In Crook Co. work will be targeted:
*Marks Cr & Mill, Johnson & Mckay Creek adjoining Federal projects;
*Wagner Mt. Trout Cr, and Rocky prescribed burns
In Jefferson Co. treatment would be in Three Rivers, Round Butte adjoining projects
*Round Butte,and
*Juniper Butte.

All information for the project must fit into the space provided below. Attachments will not be considered by the review committee.
5
Provide a brief scope of work which clearly describes how grant funds will be spent. (This
should be more specific than the project description) [1500 Characters Maximum]
Under this grant ODF has 2 tracts to complete chipping of forest fuel residue. The 1st tract is to use
the ODF chipper & staff/employees. Grant Funds would be used to pay wages, operation and
maintenance of the ODF chipper to actually provide and run the chipper.
The 2nd tract is for homeowners & homeowner associations to do fuels reduction on their properties
& stack the residue next to the road. They would hire commerial tree service to chip the residue.
Grant funds would be used to pay for the commercial chipping of the residue. Grant funds would
also be used to support the grinding and chipping of forest fuels collected during Fire Free
programs.
Under past grants ODF & collaborators have treated 259 acres, removed wildland fuel around an
estimated 3,251 homes during 4 Fire Free Campaigns and disposed of approximately 11,142 cubic
yards of material. This funding request would build on this success and continue to meet the fuels
reduction needs of this area.
Interagency Collaboration
All information for the project must fit into the space provided below. Attachments will not be considered by the review committee.

Clearly describe how the proposed treatments will be maintained over time. [500 Characters
Maximum]
Maintenance is the responsiblility of the the homeowner and will be reinforced by Project Wildfire in
Deschutes county and monitored by local fire departments through the tri-county area by Fire Free
campaigns on an annual basis. CWPP groups and homeowner associations will monitor and notify
residents to maintain their property in a fire safe condition and ODF will notify residents on a 5 year
rotation under the Wildland Urban Interface Fire Protection Act.
Biomass Utilization
All information for the project must fit into the space provided below. Attachments will not be considered by the review committee.
For the purpose of this application, biomass utilization is defined as any practicable end-use of the material that
has value, or the trading of capital for the woody material.
8
Biomass from treatment(s) will be utilized. (check one)
yes
no
1) If yes, how is it planned to be used, or what is the end-result (wood products, steam/energy,
mulch etc.) [500 Characters Maximum]
A portion of the wood residue will be used for mulch around homes and yards by the homeowners.
Some will be used in compost at the Knot Landfill and at Sunriver Environmental. Currently Sylvan
Power is working with the City of LaPine and the Deschutes County Commissioners for a cogeneration plant in LaPine. If that is succsessful then a large amount would be used for energy
production. In Crook County a portion of the debris could be used by Prinville Sawmill Company to
generate steam.
2) Identify company or contractors involved in project utilization. [250 Characters Maximum]
Deschutes County Solid Waste Department
Sunriver Environmental LLC
Sylvan Power
Prineville Sawmill Company
3) Estimate anticipated value of biomass to be removed ($/Green Ton; $/Bone-dry Ton;
$/Hundred Cubic Feet (CCF), $/Acre Treated) [250 Characters Maximum]
We estimate about 600 green tons (3tons/acre Pine and Juniper) that could be removed with an
estimated value of $18/green ton ($10,800) Compost is valued at $15.00 to $20.00 per CCyd.
