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]
This project is to increase awareness of wildfire danger to homeowners of the Colestin Road. The
project proposes to increase access/egress to the area through road clearing of dense brush and
overstocked stands of trees. The predominant fuel models are 6 and 10 with a condition
classification of 2. This regime is known for its "stand replacing" characteristic. These areas are
particularly prone to fire starts and spread due to the increased activity alongside roads from
vehicles and the general public. Colestin Road is the only road in or out of the area. This fuel project
will increase overall survivability in the case of catastrophic wildfire due to the strategic placement
of the project. Colestin Rural Fire Department will coordinate the effort through additional
volunteer labor and be a main contact to the residents. Additonal community meetings will increase
awareness of the CWPP and allow the fire department to meet directly with the citizens. This
project will be adjacent to planned projects by the Klamath NF (Colsetin Project).
Project Timeline

Scope of Work
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]
This grant will provide financial incentives and assistance to landowners to perform road
access/egress fuel abatement along Colestin Road. Both sides of the 2 mile stretch of road are
scattered with dense brush. This will assist the landowners with removal of the brush and education
about preventing catastrophic wildfire. Through a combination of ODF/Rural Fire Department
sponsored community meetings and one-on-one residential assessments with forest officers,
ODF/Rural Fire Department will assist these rural residents to take action to survive catastrophic
wildfire. These meetings will educate landowners about the actions they can take to reduce wildfire
risk, technical resources they can refer to, and financial incentives to reduce fuels on their property.
The Fire Wise program will be delivered along with information about the Jackson County
Integrated Fire Plan. These presentations will educate landowners about the risk of wildfire in their
community and allow the residents to become aware about the CWPP.
Interagency Collaboration
All information for the project must fit into the space provided below. Attachments will not be considered by the review committee.

Specify the private, local, tribal, county, state, federal and/or non-governmental [501(c)(3)]
organizations that will contribute to or participate in the completion of this project. Describe
briefly the contributions each partner will make (i.e. – donating time/equipment, funding, etc.)
[500 Characters Maximum]
-BLM- Adjacent fuel abatment projects/land ownership
- USFS-Klamath NF has planned project to be completed in the immediate area
-ODF-Project administration and fire protection
-Colestin Rural Fire Department-Field administration, direct contact to landowners
-Jackson County-Implementation of Integrated Fire Plan
-Landowers-provide in-kind labor or cash to contractors to complete fuel reduction work

Project Longevity / Maintenance
All information for the project must fit into the space provided below. Attachments will not be considered by the review committee.
7
Clearly describe how the proposed treatments will be maintained over time. [500 Characters
Maximum]
Maintenance would include education for long term project needs. Both hand treatment, mechanical,
and chemical alternatives would be addressed. Ongoing monitoring is done by patrol and frequent
visits to other fuel projects. Current ODF stewardship funding guidelines require all cost-share
projects to be maintained a minimum of 10 years from date of completion. Additional reminders are
mailed periodically through the SB 360 program. These reminders include technical support and
information.
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]
2) Identify company or contractors involved in project utilization. [250 Characters Maximum]
3) Estimate anticipated value of biomass to be removed ($/Green Ton; $/Bone-dry Ton;
$/Hundred Cubic Feet (CCF), $/Acre Treated) [250 Characters Maximum]
