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 is a continuation of a 2001 Western States Fire Managers grant to provide chipping services to
home and land owners in Jefferson, Crook and Deschutes counties. These serices can be offered to
owners that do fuels reduction on their properties to help defray the disposal costs and reduce
burning. ODF will work with CWPP groups, Local Fire Departments, County officials ,homeowner
associations and landowners. First prioities will go to CWPP groups, homeowners and
homeowner associations that are identified as high in their CWPP's and adjoin Federal Projects.
ODF will work with Fire Departments, Project Wildfire and County officials in support of the tricounty Fire Free Campaign offering grant funds to support chipping of debris that is collected
during Fire Free projects in Central Oregon. Most of these projects are in either Ponderosa Pine type
, Mixed Ponderosa , Lodgepole Pine type,or mixed Ponderosa, Western Juniper Type. Fire regimes
1 and 2. These projects will also support work on adjoining Federal land. Work on private lands
adjoining The Safer project around Sisters, West Tumbul in Bend and the Myst project between,
Sunriver and Lapine are a few of the Federal projects planned in Central Oregon.

Provide a brief scope of work which clearly describes how grant funds will be spent. (This

Under this grant ODF had two tracts to complete chipping of forest fuel residue. The first tract is to
use the chipper purchased through the WSFM grant and staffed with ODF employees. Grant Funds
would be used to pay wages, operation and maintaince of the chipper. The second tract is for
homeowners, and homeowner associations to do fuels reduction on their properties and stack the
residue next to the road. They would hire commerial tree service to chip the residue. The 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
the past grant ODF and Collaborators have treated 259 acres, removed wildland fuel around an
estimated 3,251 homes during 4 Fire Free Campaigns and disposed of approimately 11,142 cubic
yards of material.

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 in 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.
2) Identify company or contractors involved in project utilization. [250 Characters Maximum]
Deschutes County Solid Waste Department
Sunriver Environmental LLC
Sylvan Power
3) Estimate anticipated value of biomass to be removed ($/Green Ton; $/Bone-dry Ton;
$/Hundred Cubic Feet (CCF), $/Acre Treated) [250 Characters Maximum]
Currently it is difficult to give a value for biomass removed. No value has been given for power
generation and Compost is valued at $15.00 to $20.00 per CCyd.
