Project Title:
SE Region Family Forest Wildfire Hazard Mitigation Project
Proposed Project Start Date:
06/01/2006
Federal Funding Request:
$ 200,000
Proposed Project End Date:
06/30/2008
Total Project Funding:

Are you submitting multiple projects? If so, please explain and prioritize:
Use existing Forest Stewardship and FLEP cost-share program structure to implement wildfire hazard reduction practices on NIPF lands in
DNR's SE Region, in support of CWPP's.
This approach has proven effective since 2001. [See Loon Lake Project "success story" highlighted in the publication "A Progress Report on
the National Fire Plan in Washington State".
Brief Project Summary: Who, What, Where, Desired Outcomes in relation to NFP Goals and Community Risk Assessment and
Mitigation Plans (This should summarize page 2).
Cost-shares shaded fuel breaks and wildfire hazard/stewardhip plans on NIPF lands in or near CWPP's in DNR's SE Region.

Project Narrative Description
Applications for funding must include a narrative response that describes the proposal. Please do not submit responses
longer than one page, single space, 12-pitch font.
Describe project including, but not limited to:
x project relationship to the community risk assessment and
x project location (e.g., Watershed,
Address
mitigation plan
neighboring community)
these items
as applicable: x anticipated outcomes
x amount or extent of actions (acres, number of homes, etc.)
x project timeline and matching or contributed funds
x community partners and their
role(s)
x proponent’s ability to complete project
For this project, explain the level of cooperation, coordination or strategic planning, through a “Local Coordination
Group.” If you have not worked with a local coordination group, why not?
Project is Regional/Multi-County in scope.
Is this project adjacent to a current prescribed burn project on federal lands or to one that is planned within the next
three years? (Yes/No) No
Please indicate planned treatments and associated acres:
* Treatment Thinning
Acres 400
Treatment Lop and Scatter
Acres 200
Treatment Hand Pile Burning

Useing existing, proven-effective, applicant-friendly, Forest Land Enhacement Program cost-share structure to acheive wildfire hazard reduction
goals, on family forest lands, in support of CWPP's in DNR's SE Region.
Project Evaluation Criteria
Applications for funding must include narrative responses that address the following three criteria. Be sure you address every one
briefly, yet thoroughly. Limit your responses to the area provided.
1. Reducing Hazardous Fuels (50 points)
A. Describe the community infrastructure that will be protected.
B. Explain how the proposal reduces fire behavior in high hazard areas by describing the fuels to be disposed or
removed, and the techniques and timing of the treatments.
C. How will the proposed treatments be maintained in future years?
D. How will you use multi-party monitoring to improve this and future projects?
Response:
Community infrastructue will include private homes, non-industrial private forest land, and public forest lands.
Landowners will implement thinning, pruning, and slash disposal practices to create shaded fuel breaks in strategic areas in
support of CWPP's in DNR's SE Region.
Landowners are required to maintain practices for 10 years.
DNR will monitor practices using the already-exisitng Forest Stewardship Program Monitoring Plan.
Project Evaluation Criteria
2.
Increasing Local Capacity (25 points)
A. How would the proposal improve or lead to the improvement of the local economy in terms of jobs and
sustainable economic activity?
B. How many jobs are expected to be created or retained and for how long? (Please distinguish between
essentially year-round and seasonal jobs).
C. What tools and skills will be gained or utilized as a result of this project?
D. Will biomass be utilized; if so, in what manner and how much?
Response:
Project supports private sector employment since most landowners hire consulting foresters and/or private forestry contractors to do
the work.
Approximately three dozen private sector jobs created or sustained.
3.
Demonstrating Community and Intergovernmental Collaboration (25 Points)
A. How will this project implement a community risk assessment and mitigation plan? Include name of plan, date
it was prepared, and local contact to get a copy of the plan if requested.
B. How has this treatment been coordinated with adjacent landowners and local/State/Tribal/Federal agencies?
C. Identify the cooperators/partners involved in implementation of this project.
D. Describe the extent of current local support for the project, including any cost-sharing agreements.
Response:
Projects will be selected which contribute toe implementation of CWPP's [cooperators vary by location].
Landowners typically provide 50% of cost, thereby, leveraging taxpayer's funds 2:1 [i.e. $1 of cost-share buys $2 of "on the ground"
results].
Program infrastructure has been in place for many years and has a long-standing proven track record of getting inexpensive and
expedetious results.
