Comments:
Description: This is a fire fuel reduction project identified in the Shevlin Park Coordinated Resource Management Plan. Shevlin Park is a 700 acre Nature Park on the West side of Bend. It is heavily timbered
with considrable fuel build up under old growth and second growth ponderosa pine. Plans for fuel reduction include using county inmate work crews to thin brush, juniper and younger ponderosa
pine. Funds being requested are to cover the cost of the inmate crew to cut, pile and burn the smaller fuels. The requested funds would also cover the cost of hiring a contractor to remove marketable
material to be sold as well as an environmental assessment.

Loren Head, HRFPD Fire Chief
Comments: Not eligible for funding through this program.
Description: Special district personnel propose upgrading the existing 1970 fire engine, to better serve the community, mutual aid areas, and public agencies with whom fire control coordination is critical.
Target apparatus would be a commercial wildland/rescue/structure engine, capable of negotiating the approximately 4000 acres of adjacent public-owned wildland area, as well the 50 square-mile
official district. The existing engine lacks compatibility with other agencies’ apparatus, is out of service frequently and for long periods of time for repairs, is inefficient in a variety of situations and
terrains, and hinders the ability of district volunteers to become proficient with more current fire-fighting equipment. The project includes training on operating the upgraded apparatus, as well as
public education to reduce fire threat in our heavily-timbered area, one that the Forest Service has identified as “. . . a community at risk under the national wildland-urban interface program.”

Comments: Funded $50,000 of this grant in FY 2003 with FS EAP $$$
Description: We propose combining GIS (Geographical Information Systems) fuel/fire layers for NE Washington and making them accessible to the community. Edge mapping between jurisdictions is a weak
link when it comes to pre-attack planning in Wildland/Urban zones. By combining layers from participating agencies they will be able to identify high risk areas of mutual concern and plan joint
projects. This data will be available to all agencies, including fire districts, 911, counties, cities, and individual community members. Agencies can receive the data in two formats. One is by CD rom,
the other by visiting the community web site. The data will be available on the web site by an interactive mapping program called ArcIMS viewable with a web browser. With the CD rom files
organizations will be able to utilize the information using the free version of ArcExp. Initially the three counties of Ferry, Stevens, and Pend Oreille will be targeted. Future expansion would
include Spokane, Lincoln, and Okanogan counties and eventually the entire state.

Comments: This application initially came in with no $ amount for federal funding request or total project funding. I wanted to take it from the project budget sheet, but there was an addition error there and I
wanted to be sure I had correct figures. I called and spoke with Billie at Benton County Fire District #1. She explained their Chief, who had prepared the application, was notified one day in advance
he had to join his team in TX for Columbia recovery efforts, resulting in a hastily assembled application. Billie checked numbers and emailed a revised grant application on February 19th.
Description: Benton County fire agencies are completing a 2002 grant project to map fuels, fire occurrence weather data and determine the most appropriate response to limit fire size by initial attack forces. The
current project defines five response levels based on weather indices. This project will automate the collection of weather data and calculate NFDRS indices on an hourly basis. This will allow the
adjustment of preplanned response cards on a diurnal basis to recognize different conditions. This will allow the dispatching of the most appropriate resources and provide more efficient resource

Description: This program would be modeled after similar programs (North Carolina, Alberta, CFFP, etc.) with a target audience of school aged children. The program combines fire prevention and forest ecology.
Participants are required to complete several tasks in a workbook (plant a tree, help put out a campfire) and rewards children with a Junior Forest Ranger badge/certificate.
The program will help take the place of the old Smokey Bear Junior Forest Ranger program with an emphasis on Oregon ecosystems and human caused fire issues. Thinning, prescribed fire,
forest health and prevention issues will all be address in this program. A statewide marketing campaign will be produced referring participants to a web site to register. Postcards will be dispersed
as another means of registering.
The program does not need to be reinvented, only adapted from existing JFR programs.

Description: The USDA Forest Service currently owns a building in the Natural Resource area, at the state fairgrounds in Salem. There is a Memo of Understanding (MOU) between the Forest Service and Keep
Oregon Green (KOG) for overall use and management of this building.
Presently, the building conveys little in the form of a wildland prevention message. KOG would like to develop an interactive display that addresses use of Firewise plants, landscaping and
improvements for urban interface residents. KOG plans to develop Firewise landscaping the summer of 2003 in corporation with the Oregon Forest Resource Institute and OSU.
The potential for a strong, professional prevention message is amazing. The state fair site receives thousands of visitors each year.

Comments: Funded in 2003 @ $41,000 with FS EAP $$$
Description: The Spokane Tribe seeks to purchase an incisor for its Wood Products Division. The equipment will allow it to use small diameter timbers to make guard rails that meet federal and Washington
State and federal Department of Transportation specifications. The current equipment only allows the Tribe to make guardrails for Idaho, which has different standards. Significantly, the balance of
the equipment required for guardrail production that meets federal and Washington State guidelines is the same. The Wood Products Division therefore has all of the equipment it will need, save
the incisor. Consequently, this project will allow the Tribe to use its own resources to make the rails and at the same time reduce the volume of small diameter combustible materials.
Assistance in purchasing the incisor will make the difference in keeping the division open and operating and perserve the investment in personnel and equipment. A grant will also ensure that the
three current jobs remain and the demand for guardrails is sufficient to warrant hiring additional staff. The Division supplies a guardrail installer and the installer has indicated that they would like
to be able to purchase guardrails from the tribe for Washington and federal projects. Significantly, there is sufficent demand to warrant the investment. A grant will lead to retaining existing jobs
and increase the number of jobs on the reservation, which is a Five-Star EC Enterprise Community.

Gerard Welch Program Administrator for Forest Projects
Comments:
Description: This is a pilot fuels reduction project, 3-4 acres in size, along the I-84 corridor. Within close proximity to this project area is the town of Cascade Locks. Emergency responders for the city react to
over 80 motor vehicle accidents per year. Five project fires within the past five years are on record in this area. These facts coupled with transient traffic, forest visitors and private residences has
brought the potential for distastrous wildfire to our attention. Extreme Gorge winds, overstocked stands and drought conditions could all lead to extreme fire behavior and a potentially disastrous
situation.
This thinning project is stocked with 2700 trees per acre, continuous ladder fuels and marginal fuel breaks. Fuels reduction by thinning and debris removal from the site by chipping will minimize
wildfire risk, improve forest health and enhance the visual quality of the stand.

Description: The Colville Community Forestry Coalition will work with the federal, state and private forestland managers to create a viable Community Fire Plan for one or more communities within the general
Colville National Forest area. The community outreach, education and engagement in the prioritization, planning process and implementation of such Community Fire Plans will be performed by the
CCF Coalition in concert with the several co-operators that have agreed to work with this project. This process will fulfill the requirement for collaborative processes set by regional policies of the
US Forest Service. The goal is to design and implement Community Fire Plans that substantially reduce the risk of wild fire in areas adjacent to federal and state lands. The project will demonstrate
how a diverse coalition of stakeholders can work together to successfully develop a community fire strategy and fuels treatment plan. The project will also focus on the utilization of the fuels
reduction materials by local businesses and in using local labor to perform the fuels reduction work.

Description: This project would supplement already funded proposals: Sinlahekin Fuels Management & Demonstration Project – Phase 1 and Sinlahekin Fuels Management and Treatment Planning with Public
Participation, Education and Prevention – Phase 2. Project Goal: Fill an identified information gap by completing a Fire History Analysis on the approximately 16,000 acre Sinlahekin Wildlife
Area. A fire history analysis would provide invaluable information in terms of understanding the fire history of the Sinlahekin, the influence of historic fires on the vegetation types, desired future
condition and above all it would yield valuable data that would provide highly graphic results for use in educating the public about fires, fire history and how proper management and use of fire is
needed to reduce potential catastrophic wildfire that would be devastating to wildlife habitat and Ponderosa pine forests. Process: Contract with the fire history analysis experts to do a fire history
analysis. When completed the information would be included in the I&E component and development of the Adaptive Fuels Management Plan of Phase 2.

Description: This proposal incorporates Dry Hydrant development into the community fire plan and fire prevention education for the purpose of strengthening fire protection efforts in Pend Oreille (Pond-eray)
County. The project will reduce devastating fires in the Wildland/urban interface by strategically installing dry hydrants in vulnerable areas within Pend Oreille County. The intent will be to
provide access to adequate water supplies in the Wildland Urban Interface. The entire County’s Fire Districts have pledged their support with equipment and time towards this proposal. The
landowners and the environment will benefit by the reduced response time which will lessen the effects of wildland fire on the community and the natural resources. The project has community
partnerships with the schools, state foresters, and the volunteer fire fighters by incorporating K-12 fire education into the county's education plan. Educational activities are directed towards the
importance of good access and visible road signs, fuels reduction around family homes with defensible fire plans and identifying emergency personnel in the community. Links to local information
will be incorporated into the Pend Oreille Conservation District Web Site.

Description: Conduct a feasibility study and carry out a demonstration project that would detail and analyze the potential and desirability to thin dense, low-value small-diameter tree stands and wood waste to
bio-fuel. A broad partnership aware of the vast acreage of overstocked, immature stands ripe for fire have a common purpose to thin this biomass to reduce fire hazards; reduce slash burns; reduce air
pollution; provide jobs; improve forest health; and yield new energy sources. At a minimum, the project would achieve the following:
•
Compile and complete mapping and inventory of forest stands by type, density, access, availability and suitability for fuel harvesting in Jefferson and Clallam Counties
•
Document the consistency and longevity of fuel supplies
•
Record the commitment of players to utilize alternative fuel sources
•
Report on private and public woodland owner revenue options and potential
•
Outline the long-term contracting outlook with owners and managers of bio-fuel sources
•
Create a forest stewardship and marketing model, and provide transferable technology, for reduction of fire loads and harvesting of bio-fuel on a 160-acre demonstration plot

Description: The Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities Partnership is comprised of nearly 50 wood products businesses and community-based organizations working together to promote forest restoration, and
utilization and market access for the wood by-products of restoration activities. A pioneer in these efforts, the Partnership offers research, market exposure, business capacity building, market
assistance and wood sourcing to forest-based enterprises across the Pacific Northwest. As a group, we convey a strong and unified message of the social and ecological value of utilizing
restoration by-products. We are also able to broadly distribute the costs of public relations, technical assistance, manufacturing and advertising; allowing smaller, local businesses to participate in
markets of a scale previously inaccessible to them.
As the Partnership continues to grow and evolve we have developed a work plan for the coming year that builds upon skills and experiences gained to date. We seek National Fire Plan support to:
1)
Increase our delivery of technical assistance and training to wood products entrepreneurs,
2)
Develop the tools needed to inform markets of restoration-based product alternatives,
3)
Investigate a labeling campaign to create market differentiation of restoration by products.
4)
Coordinate a regional forum to bring together other Fire Plan grant recipients for mutual learning

Description: This project proposes to produce a fire risk assessment for private and public forest and range lands surrounding the Goose Lake valley. This project will assess data on existing fuel conditions to
determine fire risk. It is anticipated, that this data will then be used to generate fire prevention plans as well as determining treatments needed to reduce hazardous fuels. Data to be accumulated will
include fire history, weather data including precipitation and lightning patterns. Current vegetation and hazardous fuels status will also be included in the program. Maps will be produced that
will include transportation systems, structure locations and existing fire suppression infrastructure such as water sources, natural and maintained fuel brakes. This project will result in a plan that
will assist wildland fire and structural fire agencies in setting priorities in multiple fire situations as well as assist both public and private landowners in determining hazardous fuels treatment
needs. This plan will also lead to the development of a fire prevention program for these lands. A goal of this project will be to form a local fire council including all jurisdictions.

Description: Provide a DOC supervised work crew of 10 inmates, for 5 years for the following: clear and remove forest debris, brush and vegetation on forested land in Yakima County. Location and project
priorities will be identified by the USFS, DNR and the Yakima Co. Fire Districts based on assessments done by those partners. The project targets changing the fuel composition from flash fuel to
low creeping fuel, ladder fuel thinning, as well as weed abatement. The work crew will travel to the site and chip or remove forest debris from an area of 50 to 200 feet off of the 150 miles of forested
county roads. The crew will also be available for joint projects with partners that address similar debris and fuel composition needs around homes & buildings with landowner agreement. Flash
fuels will be chipped and returned to the forest floor to provide immediate weed abatement. Wood greater then 6 inches will be removed to a staging area, and cut for fire wood to be delivered by the
crew to identified elderly. Eligibility for wood delivery will be determined by Yakima Co. Sr. Citizens Program or to other targeted needy groups in Yakima County free within NEPA guidelines.

Comments: Funded in FY 2003 at $24,339 with FS EAP $$$
Description: The WSU/Pend Oreille County Master Gardener program has an proven record of providing community outreach. Funded partially through tax dollars, Master Gardeners have a specific charge to
address local and regional community issues from water conservation to hunger and nutrition. Establishing firewise landscapes around the increasing number of homes built in the rural/urban
interface has been identified as a community need, and one very effectively addressed by this group.
In 2002, Title III money was used to train this force of sixty volunteers to become firewise landscape educators. This proposed project will link these trained volunteers to local fire departments,
implementation crews, and other natural resource and emergency services agencies. It will support coordination of the many entities working on wildfire issues and emergency planning for wildfire
in Pend Oreille County. It will incorporate firewise education into established local Master Gardener projects such as demonstration gardens, newsletters, classes and tours. It will produce an
effective program that is adapted to the specific needs of Pend Oreille County residents, and yet can serve as a model to other forested communities.

Description: This project establishes a year round, convenient alternative to the common practice of open burning brush and tree limbs. This project contributes to the goal of providing this alternative for about
80% of the population of Klickitat County. The project involves the establishment of community drop off sites for brush and tree limbs from home owner land clearing activities. The unmanned, no
fee, sites will be open 365-24-7 to maximize convenience for the public. NFP funds would be used to hire a brush chipping contractor and to pay for bagging wood chips. Once bagged, the chips are
easily transported from the chipping sites by the public for use in home composting/mulching. Bagging of wood chips may be performed by a jail inmate community service work crew, requiring a
paid qualified supervisor, or by a private contractor. Excess wood chips will be used in a local steam electric generator facility. The chipping program will be promoted in tandem with promotion of
the DNR FireWise education program. The area served includes or is adjacent to Yakima Indian Nation timber, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area and
watersheds critical to salmon/steelhead habitat and three fish hatcheries.

Comments: I took the Total Project Funding from the project budget sheet. -LM
Description: Following last summer’s Biscuit Fire, there is a greatly increased awareness of the danger of wildfire among the residents of the Illinois Valley. This project will build on this awareness by
providing financial incentives to property owners to conduct defensible space and thinning treatments. Applicants will participate in the cost according to a sliding scale from 0-50%. The approach
is based on offering a range of choices among contractors to perform an initial assessment and the work itself to optimize the fit between the owners’ expectations/goals and the approach/cost. The
work can be undertaken by the owner or approved local contractor. It is estimated that 125 homes will be protected and 275 acres thinned with priority given to woodlands adjacent to
completed/planned BLM thinning projects and other public land. FireWise training at community workshops, field visits, and through youth service learning activities will be used to educate and
promote these services. In addition to these outreach efforts, a referral network will be established with ODF, Forestry Action Committee, IV Fire Department and Lomakatsi. The project will
purchase and lease to participating contractors a Peco Trail Blazer to reduce thinning costs and as an inexpensive way to encourage maintenance of the fuel break
.

Description: This project is intended to lay the ground work for creating large demand for small diameter, brush, and other forest waste products through conducting a feasibility study for a 20-35 megawatt
biomass co-generation plant in the Illinois Valley. Current users of small diameter material (i.e. for furniture and other consumer items manufacturers) are an important but small market; if there is
going to be lowered extraction costs and increased incentive to property owners to have the fire hazard reduction thinning done, then a significant demand must be created. The cogeneration plant
represents an opportunity for this level of demand creation. With the California requirement that 20% of power be generated from renewable sources by 2017 and pending legislation in Oregon, the
market for co-generated electric power is beginning to develop. The feasibility study would include: a> Forest Biomass fuel resource assessment; and b> critical flaw analysis and financial
projections. The Rough & Ready Mill site, under serious consideration for an ESOP buy-out) would be an excellent site to house this venture should it prove feasible.

Description: Skamania, Klickitat, Hood River and Wasco Counties are at high wildfire risk. A WSU Extension Wildfire Coordinator position (0.75 fte) and funding for four summer help (1.0) fte for mapping has
been obtained for 2003 and a bi-state advisory council representing the four project counties is in place. This one-year grant proposal will facilitate the existing grant by 1) continuing the 0.75 fte
Extension Coordinator position assisting rural fire departments and four summer mapping crew members through 2004, 2) adding crew hours to assist the Coordinator in post-field season data
management and other program activities and 3) identify fuels mitigation demonstration areas in each of the four project counties for 2005 treatment. As with the 2003 grant, work will be guided by
the bi-state advisory council (state and federal wildfire managers and county representatives). Expected outcomes are greater completion of data bases describing fire risk areas; increased access to
grant funding by rural volunteer fire districts, and increased fire-wise management of interface dwellings. Impacts would be assessed by comparing pre- and post-activity results using standard
methods such as focus groups and surveys. The GPS survey methods used are similar to those in use by Oregon Department of Forestry in central Oregon (Larry Hoffman, Stu Otto, ODF).

Description: Kittitas/Yakima Counties Firewise has been previously awarded funding for a coordinator position to assess the wildfire dangers of approx. 2700 at risk homes, priortize these homes, secure
funding and oversee the contractural implmentation of fuels reduction. Liberty has been proven with RAMS to be our #1 target area within Kittitas County. The Liberty Fuel Reduction project is in
high danger and in high fire activity areas. (1)These areas are able to be protected as a group with shaded fuel breaks and providing defensible spaces and breaks in the fuel continuity. (2)The
reduction of fuels in the "privately owned areas" of the project will allow these areas to be demonstration sites for the community to use as an educational site. (3)Individual home site prescriptions
will be available from trained staff with work being done by contractors with chippers that will be available for the fuels to be able to change the biomass to chips rather that attempting to burn the
altered fuels. This plan will allow the best in protection from wildfire for these properties.

Description: The Dry Forest Mechanized Fuels Treatment Trials (DFMT), funded by NFP, recently finished its fourth set of field trials. The trials attracted hundreds of participants and the model created proved
highly successful in encouraging dialogue about fuels treatment objectives and methods between local contractors, government agency personnel, community representatives, and media. The model
was also successful in fulfilling its goals of introducing various mechanized fuels manipulations in realistic situations, providing data to assess analysis of economics and environmental impacts,
and utilizing biomass where appropriate. The Hayfork Watershed Research and Training Center, through its new satellite office in southern Oregon, proposes to use the model created by the DFMT
project to implement trials in the Ashland Watershed and the Blue Mtns,Wallowa-Whitman NF. The focus will be on steep ground and riparian areas in the WUI, situations that were not addressed
by the DFMT project. Trials will be accessible to the public, a public/private steering committee will guide the project. Outcomes will be widely disseminated.

Description: Brief Project Description: The Lower Loup Fuels Reduction is a pilot project that involves planning for and implementation of a pre-commercial thinning of private forest land within three
watersheds in central Okanogan County. Through the use of watershed- level wildfire risk assessment and prioritization, landowner outreach and education,site-specific prescriptions, and
implementation of thinning and slash disposal, up to 500 acres will be identified and treated within a two year time frame. After the sucessful implementation of this project, the knowledge gained
will be used to refine the program and use it as a model for watershed-level implementation of fuels reduction in other areas of the county that are found to be at risk or have high fuel loads.

public living and working in and around Wildland Urban Interface Areas in northeast Oregon as listed on the Federal Register. (Three year implementation period) Personnel will be divided into
two-person Fire Prevention Teams that will inform target audiences (landowners, homeowners, recreationists and primary school students) about the wildland-urban interface problem in Union,
Wallowa, Baker and Umatilla counties and how to mitigate the risk of fire by increasing fire awareness. The fire prevention teams will educate these people on Firewise landscaping, how to make
their homes and property “FireFree” and how to recreate safely in and around urban interface areas. Mass mailings to the hunting public (over 20,000 per year) will allow prevention messages to
get to each and every tag holder informing them of specific fire dangers and current Public Use Restrictions in place. The goal is to instill a sense of fire awareness not yet realized in this region.

Description: This is modeled after neighborhood watch concepts used by law enforcement agencies and crime prevention initiatives. The project would insert prevention and law enforcement officers into highrisk communities. Project personnel would focus on human caused fire problems after a prevention analysis was completed for each community. Part of the project would place emphasis on wildland
arson deterrence while other parts would focus on achieving voluntary compliance with local and state fire prevention regulations. A “Fire Tips” toll free call line would be managed in each
community to augment community patrols and allow for timely intervention. The underlying purpose of this initiative is to solicit community involvement and apply aggressive action towards
known human “fire cause” risk. This effort provides community safeguards while other initiatives are taking hold. This is a two-season project intended to be a model demonstration to high-risk
communities on the benefits of a fire watch program. Recommendations will be provided each community at project’s end for future planning.

Description: Eastern Oregon Area (EOA) of the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) is developing a coordinated fire intelligence program which will ultimately enhance fire fighter safety, provide for the
efficient use of public funds, allow for greater safety of the public and rural landowners, and will enable fire protection agencies to better meet their respective fire suppression program objectives.
Funding this grant request will allow the three Fire Protection Districts within the EOA of Oregon Department of Forestry to develop Interagency Fire Danger Operating Plans for the various
management areas in EOA. Interagency Fire Danger Operating Plans will be the culmination of an intensive effort underway in EOA to upgrade and modernize the approaches the Department is
utilizing in terms of gathering predictive and assessment information on fire danger. The Interagency Fire Danger Operating Plans will be a tool to produce a coordinated understanding among
agencies and rural cooperators regarding fire danger thresholds, adjective fire danger rating breakpoints, staffing levels and dispatch levels.

Description: Create a seamless GIS layer for use by all government entities that require information needed to identify landowner information relative to wildland fire planning, prevention, fuels treatment, presuppression and suppression. The project plays a critical role in WUI planning, along with prioritization and dispatching of resources. The project would capitalize on work started by county
assessors in pulling ownership information into useable formats with GIS, and would allow for the combination of various GIS projects from the different fire protection agencies. Data needs exist
which are interactive with county assessors, other agencies with whom ODF works closely within the interagency fire management community. These include GIS information, ownership
information, as well as fuels, topography, and transportation systems.

Description: This project will create a digital vegetation / fuels map using satellite imagery for the Central Oregon Fire Protection District. Currently, we do not have a district wide vegetation / fuels map in a
digital format. This map will aid the district in strategic long range planning, determining high fuel hazard areas, initial attack analysis and many other planning functions. This map will be useful
in coordinating National Fire Plan fuels reduction projects with US Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management and other cooperators. The current plan is to create this map at two levels of
resolution. The first is to map the wildland fuels at a 30 meter resolution. The second level is to map the urban interface areas at a 4 meter resolution. This would give us the detail to accomplish
Wildland Urban Interface fuels reduction mapping and aid the currently ongoing NFP fuel reduction projects as well as assisting with planning and lay out of future projects.

Comments:
Description: In 2002 three wildfires threatened the communities of Westfir and Oakridge. Six other major wildfires have occurred within 5 miles of these communities in the last 23 years. The project is a
community based effort to reduce the threat to life and property losses related to wildfires in the rural/urban interface. This project will focus on providing:
•
Education and Prevention Information. Education, the most important element, will focus on insuring that residents and land owners are aware of and motivated to decrease the immediate risk to
their investments
•
Financial incentives to landowners to complete and maintain defendable space around homes and other structures. This is the reduction of dangerously high fuel loading immediately adjacent to
rural and urban improvements. These fuels may be a conduit for wildland fires moving toward the interface or they pose a barrier to control efforts. This may include but is not necessarily limited to
the removal of non-native vegetation
•
Fire preparedness planning, assessment of equipment needs, and hazardous fuel inventories, GIS mapping. This would build on agreements between the jurisdictions.
•
Implement fuel reduction and vegetation management to reduce risk of ignition and reduce the resistance to control in both the urban interface and natural landscapes near structures. This element
focuses on the long-term maintenance of the vegetation and very limited small prescription burns to reduce fuel loading.

Description: This grant will fund fuels treatment in the wildland urban interface in central Oregon. This grant will continue the fuels treatment program started under a Community Assistance grant received in
2001. Under that grant, a fuels reduction program was started that targeted the reduction of fuels 100 feet around structures and along driveways. This 2004 program will include a 75% cost share of
fuels treatment projects to help defray the cost of fuels treatment. For 2004 we hope to expand treatment to larger lots and acreages to give us a continueous fuel break to protect subdivisions and
communities.
This program would be simular to the Hazard Mitigation Title IV grant recieved from Cooperative Forestry, US Forest Service and would use the same standards. This grant will aid us in treating

Description: This National Fire Plan project is designed to provide a follow-up to four NFP projects that were funded in 2002. In the original grant, an estimate was made on the amount of fuels reduction work
that the landowners would complete. There is still work that needs to be done in the area. The original grants provided assistance to non-industrial landowners in the Beach Creek, Fox Valley,
Long Creek, Ritter, Hamilton, Winlock, and Cottonwood Creek areas to create defensible space around homes, reduce fire hazard and improve the overall forest health. The funding would be used as
a cost share incentive for landowners to treat their forested stands. This project has been extremely successful in both landowner participation and on the ground results. Currently funded projects
have been completed quickly, and have fully met the expectations for defensible space requirements, fuels reduction and forest health improvements. There are currently more landowners who want
to participate in these programs, than there are funds available to assist them.

Description: This grant is a continuation of a very successful landowner rebate/incentive program to create defensible space fuels reduction around homes in the Applegate watershed. This project will provide
landowners financial assistance to develop either survivable space around their homes, or to expand fuel hazard reduction to strategic points such as along driveways or down slopes. A maximum of
ten acres per landowner is applied to allow as many interested landowners as possible to participate. The 2001 AWCFR reached over 300 homes in the Applegate; the 2002 project is still active
but has not yet been tallied. The value of “defensible space” was proven in the Applegate during the Squire’s Peak fire last July.
This project is an extension of the Applegate Fire Plan (AFP) and provides an incentive to landowners who have become involved in the community fire planning efforts to accomplish on-theground work, as they continue to learn about fire and forest health issues. Other fuel reduction projects being proposed for the Applegate in 2004 will require this “defensible space” work to be
accomplished prior to planning work for other private lands.

Comments:
Description: This project would provide a financial incentive/assistance for private land owners in Jackson & Josephine Counties to become more involved in fire and forest health issues by collaborating with
neighbors in fuel reduction efforts. Private landowners would particularly be encouraged to plan fuel hazard reduction work with federal agency neighbors, sharing in discussions of prescriptions
and implementation methods for work along the shared ownership property lines. A minimum of a 300-foot buffer or five acres per landowner is recommended, in an effort to create more strategic fuel
breaks across our high-risk Wildland Urban Interface areas. This grant is an implementation mechanism of the Applegate Fire Plan (AFP) and several other community fire plans, and is requested as a
partner to very successful landowner defensible space rebates. All participants in this new grant rebate program would be required to have successfully accomplished a defensible space around
their homes prior to planning work on additional acreage. Outreach for this type of activity is funded via other mechanisms. This grant would cover costs to rebate the private landowner a flat rate
per acre; we anticipate funding nearly 20 miles of buffer through this project.

Description: Provide financial assistance and incentives to landowners to complete survivable space fuels reduction around homes and community fuel reduction zones. It is an expansion of an existing
successful landowner rebate/incentive program started with a 2002 NFP grant and NFP Hazard Mitigation Title IV/Multi-Resource Stewardship funds to landowners in communities in Jackson
County. The highest priority will be within an area of the newly formed Seven Basin Watershed Council. This area was the center of catastrophic interface fires in the 1990’s, burning homes and
killing one firefighter. Another priority will be areas that the BLM will be moving into for fuel treatment.
This project provides a perfect match with a fire planning effort recently started by the watershed council. It provides both incentives for landowners to become involved in the fire plan, and the
means to accomplish projects identified through the planning process. The watershed council will provide a link with landowners that has not existed in the past.

Comments:
Description: The primary goal of the proposed projects is to reduce current fuel loads across the Southwest Oregon District State Forests’ young stand land base in order to facilitate fire suppression prior to fire
reaching neighboring communities, residences, or critical resources at risk (i.e. northern spotted owls, recreational resources, points of interest, etc.). These projects are essential hazardous fuels
treatment for young stands on State Forest land in Southwest Oregon that have been reforested and pre-commercially thinned to promote tree health and growth. While producing healthy young
stands, these past treatments have created extremely high fuel loads and increased the potential for stand replacing wildfire events. These stands are all within 0 to 12 miles of communities at risk,
scattered wildland urban interface residences, and less than 3 miles from other critical resources at risk. Hazardous fuel reduction projects will include abatement treatments such as thinning, hand
piling, and burning. The District is proposing to use local handcrews to thin and pile these hazardous fuels while District personnel will burn the piles.

Description: Lomakatsi will reduce dense fuel loads on private lands adjoining roadways and cul-de-sac driveways along Caves Camp Road and Mungers Creek Road in the West Fork area of the Williams Creek
watershed. Private lands that were logged in the past have re-grown into extremely dense dog-hair Doug fir thickets, creating tremendous fuel loads in high risk areas adjacent to upslope BLM
lands which include a mix of LSR’s and tree plantations. Lomakatsi’s previous Williams projects created the opportunity to organize this proposal in a niche community where environmental
issues have challenged other agencies from making headway into developing wildfire prevention projects. Lomakatsi is an important intermediary for involving diverse constituents in
coordinating this effort with Jim Wolf of Oregon Dept. of Forestry, Williams Creek Watershed Council, Williams Rural Fire Dept., Applegate River Watershed Council, Rural-Metro Fire District,

Description: Lomakatsi will reduce fuels on private properties along Anderson Creek Road, adjoining cul-de-sac driveways, and selected home sites, for a growing list of 25 landowners who have requested
involvement in this project. Lomakatsi is networking with Jackson County Fire District 5, which covers the Talent area, and Chief Dan Marshall to organize community meetings and develop
strategies to address fuels issues in this critical area. Defensible space treatments will be considered in areas where homes are in close proximity to roadside fuel treatments, or at the end of
driveways which have no other escape / access routes. Anderson Creek road provides critical access through the WUI areas which link the Talent vicinity to Little Applegate Road in the
Applegate area. This was an important access/egress during road closures during the Squire Fire in 2002.

Description: Lomakatsi will work with Ashland Parks and Recreation Dept., Ashland Fire & Rescue, and community volunteers to implement a comprehensive fuels reduction project along foot, horse and bike
trails in the 270 acre Siskiyou Mountain Park, on the western edge of the WUI of Ashland Oregon. The project creates fuel break vantage points, removes dense brush from along trails, and reduces
understory vegetation which is both a fire hazard and an ecological challenge to the health and fire resiliency of the original pine-oak woodlands ecosystem. The project will create a much needed
passage through this virtually ‘roadless’ park, in order to increase the continuity and effectiveness of fire suppression activities that would be needed to protect both the community of Ashland,
the Ashland Municipal Watershed, and natural resources on adjacent federal lands. The Quartz Fire crept to within 5 miles west of the Ashland watershed, which is adjacent to this proposed project
area. The project enhances the creation of a fuels reduction “buffer” along recreational trails and forested areas in the uplands of the Ashland WUI, adjacent to Rogue River National Forest.

Description: Phase II project will extend Colestin Road fuel treatments an additional 2 miles along both sides of Colestin Rd. to enhance fuels reduction strategies advanced by Lomakatsi’s previous fire
mitigation work in the area (Colestin Railroad Interface Fuels Reduction Project, 2002; Colestin Rd Thinning Project Phase1, 2003). Project will extend thinning to create widened zones of
reduced vegetative density, highlighting critical areas between previous road and railroad interface fuel treatments, which are in close proximity, but still have dense fuels between them which
would exacerbate the spread of wildfire. Thinning will be expanded beyond its 50 foot boundary in locations where railroad interface thinning and roadside thinning treatment boundaries end in
close proximity to each other, but where islands and patches of dense fuels still pose a hazard between the treated areas, especially upslope vegetation between the tracks, road, and homes. Reducing
these fuel loads will expand the advantages of the projects, creating firefighting vantage points and safer passage on the Colestin Road, which is the only access egress road serving the residents of

Description: Lomakatsi will work with a trained local workforce to reduce hazardous fuels on private properties along roadways and near home sites where manual treatments will create breaks in the contiguity
of dense fuel loads that would hinder the passage of residents and firefighters in a wildfire event. Lomakatsi is coordinating this project with Illinois Valley Fire District, Forestry Action Committee
(FAC), ODF, Illinois Valley Senior Center, Illinois Valley Community Response Team (IVCRT), and private landowners to best answer the broad spectrum of needs and desired treatments required
to address the wide spread fuel hazards which threaten residences and adjacent natural resources in the Illinois Valley. The project collaborators will cross-reference site-specifics and landowner
values to incorporate the most effective and desirable fuels treatments, crews, and strategies for each private land parcel including: access / egress routes, and defensible space treatments which
highlight the needs of senior and/or working-poor citizens whose houses are surrounded by dense fuel loads adjacent to roadside treatment areas.

Lyle Gardinier, Ferry Conservation District Manager
The Marketing Small Wood project examines whether small diameter wood obtained from thinning and cultivated trees can be effectively converted into marketable products. The study is being
carried out by the Ferry Conservation District, the Institute for Washington’s Future and the Washington State Labor Council in conjunction with the Shed Company, highly successful in
developing, producing and marketing the kinds of products to be studied here.
This project will sort materials obtained from ongoing thinning of areas of high fire risk. These materials will be supplemented by cultivated trees. We will select 8 to 12 products to be produced
from three catgeories of trees: 1) less than 3.5” diameter, 2) 3.5” to 5.5” diamter, and 3) 5.5” to 8” diameter. Products to be evaluated would include some produced from other materials now being
sucessfully marketed (e.g. doghouses and sheds). New product ideas, such as decking, kiosks, and standardized solid logs for home construction will also be tested. All products will be market
tested through the established mechanisms of the Shed Company.
This project will lay the groundwork for significant economic gains, as well as contributing to a significant reduction in fire risk. New economic opportunities will open up for rural communities
when the costs of fuels reduction are favorably balanced by payments for thinning and the sales of products made from the recovered wood. Paying work in thinning would support the development
of a forest restoration industry, which would combine thinning with habitat restoration and riparian zone management.

Comments:
Description: Reduce catastrophic fire hazard and improve forest health through the use of mechanical thinning, slash piling, and burning near and along the interface between Wenatchee National Forest and the
L.T. Murray Wildlife Area. These fuels treatments will reduce the impacts of potential wildfires and benefit wildlife and vegetation dependent on a high-frequency low-intensity fire regime.
Additionally, the project will reduce fire danger in surrounding communities.
Corridors and breaks will be developed based on the natural topography to establish areas that will help contain wild fires, and also open up and enhance wildlife habitat. This modification of fuels
will protect the L.T. Murray W.A.; the cities of Cle Elum and Thorp; and the surrounding developments of Sky Meadows, Elk Heights, and Sunlight Waters. It will serve as the initial fuels
management effort on the L.T. Murray W.A. and complement similar U.S. Forest Service and Washington Department of Natural Resources projects that have been completed in the area.

Description: Develop a Community Action plan for wildland fire risk reduction, including the continued delivery of residential fire risk surveys, prescriptions and assistance for fuels reduction, education of
residents and the community on hazards of wildland fires in the urban interface areas and methods for reducing the risk, assisting property owners with achieving desired fuels reduction and
creating defensible space, while also identifying high risk areas within the fire district and improving our ability to locate and access those areas in the time of an emergency. We have wholely
embraced the FIREWISE program and hope to use this project to continue our efforts to fully implement this program and its concepts into our community. This is a "grass-roots" project which
produces direct tangible results to rural landowners, and adjoining state and federal lands in the reduction of wildfire risks and improved response to wildfire incidents.

Comments:
Description: Funding received under this application would allow for the completion of an on-going fuel reduction program aimed at reducing the fireload on public and private lands surrounding the
unincorporated community of Wallowa Lake, Wallowa County, Oregon. The community is surrounded by the Eagle Cap Wilderness (USFS-USDA) and Wallowa Lake State Park (and other Oregon
Parks and Recreation Dept. holdings). Fireload reduction on public and non-profit lands, including a Boy Scout Camp and Methodist Church camp, is nearly complete. This funding will allow fuel
reduction on the remaining private lands surrounding the community on the west side of Wallowa Lake.
A second part of this funding proposal provides for the preparation, printing, and installation of an emergency evacuation placard aimed at getting the planned evacuation plans out to the heavy
number of seasonal tourists to the area by posting in all overnight accommodations and other tourist facilities within the district. The evacuation information will be drawn from the existing
Wallowa County Emergency Plan.

Comments:
Description: Josephine County exhibits one of the most extreme at-risk environments in the state with regard to fire potential and associated risk to landowners and residents in the wildland urban interface.
Unfortunately, many of the county residents, being relative newcomers to both the state and the county, are not familiar with design and maintenance requirements associated with keeping their
property relatively fire-safe. This project is designed to disseminate educational materials regarding such practices to new residents locating in the wildland urban interface area. The educational
materials will be a mix of currently produced materials (e.g., FireFree, FireWise, Cooperative Extension publications) and one new brochure specifically designed for the Josephine County situation.
Dissemination will be facilitated through several different avenues, including the local “Welcome Wagon” organization, local realtors and homebuilders, OSU Cooperative Extension, Josephine
County Planning, local insurance agencies, as well as the Middle Rogue Watershed Council, the Josephine Soil and Water Conservation District, and Oregon Department of Forestry.

Description: The Baker City Fire Department (BCFD), in cooperation with Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), Baker County Emergency Management (BCEM), BLM, USFS and Rural Fire Protection Districts
(RFPD’s), plan to integrate and enhance countywide fire prevention and public education programs. Grant funding will allow us to develop and provide essential countywide fire prevention and
hazard mitigation projects. Together we will increase the quality and effectiveness of the general public through fire awareness campaigns; targeted school fire education programs; vital community
prevention programs; and the development of a countywide juvenile fire-setter network (JFN). The programs address wildfire and structural fire concerns in communities: homeowners, landowners,
schools, public/community events, and the development of a JFN to target the recent increase in human caused fires. Development of quality fire awareness campaigns, public education projects,
school programming, and the development of a countywide JFN will address these concerns. The goal of this program is to instill a sense of the fire safety issues faced at the local level and to raise
awareness of our growing juvenile fire setter situations.

Kelly M. Droege, Forest Project Manager
Comments:
Description: The Applegate Fire Plan (AFP), released in 2002, provides a foundation from which to begin strategically implementing fuel reduction treatments throughout the 500,000-acre Applegate
Watershed. A portion of the Slate Strategic Planning Area (SPA) in the northern-most part of the watershed, was designated a Strategic Treatment Area via federal fire hazard ratings. Approximately
37% of the SPA received a “High Hazard Rating”. The Slate/Applegate Fuel Reduction and Utilization Project seeks to mitigate the potential for the ignition and spread of severe wildfire by
ramping up collaborative efforts between the BLM, the local fire district, ARWC and private landowners, to treat a contiguous block of private properties. Initial outreach will focus on providing
residents with a better understanding of fire behavior, fire ecology, fuel reduction techniques and potential avenues for the marketing and utilization of resulting forest products. As a lead-in, a pilot
fuel reduction project funded by Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board will be conducted in the target area in the spring 2003. Fuel reduction work performed on private land will be strategic in
that it will compliment work done on adjacent federal land and will create a defensible fuel break along a major local highway. Partial funding for fuel reduction work will be administered to
individual landowners, who will be expected to provide a percentage of in-kind funding or labor for work done on their properties. ARWC will promote the utilization of material derived from
treatments by providing connectivity between landowners and local markets. Individual projects that marry fuel reduction and material utilization will be favored. Treatments will be tracked and
monitored for effectiveness.

Description: This multi-jurisdictional, four-phase project involves the planning for, and reduction of, hazardous fuels on the bluff area located above State Highway 14 in the cities of White Salmon and Bingen.
It includes that portion of the bluff in Klickitat County immediately west of the City of White Salmon. Fuel loads and types will be assessed and public educational workshops and interagency
meetings will be held in an effort to develop a strategy and action plan for the reduction of hazardous fuels on portions of the bluff. After completion of the action plan, implementation of the strategy
will begin. Hazardous fuel reduction measures along with technical assistance for private landowners using Firewise concepts will be used. National Fire Plan funds will help develop the action
plan and complete hazardous fuel reduction measures. In the initial phase, an interagency action plan will be formulated and technical assistance offered to residents so they can create a defensible
space around their developments.

Arbothknott Fuel Break and Maloney Mountain Fuel Breaks
Comments: Ineligible.
Description: We are requesting funds to implement fuel reduction treatments to mitigate wildfire risk on the private lands within the Arbothknott and Maloney Mountain Fuel Break Project Areas. Both project
areas include private land and Forest Service land within ½ mile of the Forest Boundary. The private land within both project areas includes many small parcels of land with different owners. The
land is mostly used for recreational purposes and many of the properties have cabins and/or other structures.
Within the Arbothknott project area, there are 30 participating landowners with 260 acres of forested property that would receive fuel reduction treatments. On Maloney Mountain, there are 11
participating landowners with 350 acres that would receive fuels reduction treatment.
The general treatment that is proposed for these areas is includes ladder fuel reduction by removing 8” dbh and smaller trees to a 16’ by 16’ spacing. Residual trees species preference will be toward
the fire resistant species. Created slash material would be handpiled and burned. Where feasible, larger material would be excluded from piles so that it can be utilized as firewood.
In recent years there has been significant fuel reduction treatments implemented under the National Fire Plan on the Forest Service lands within the project areas. These projects would essentially
finish up a fairly continuous fuel break along the Forest Boundary on National Forest land and begin extending the fuel break into the private land.

Comments: Funded in FY 2003 @ $35,000 with FS EAP $$$
Description: Pomegranate Center is partnering with several affordable housing agencies to demonstrate how the addition of outdoor amenities can enhance social vitality, contribute to local identity, and
increase a sense of ownership and pride among residents. We believe that the relatively low-cost community-owned improvements suggested by residents and the innovative design solutions
offered by Pomegranate Center will significantly upgrade the quality of life. Our proposal is to use small-diameter round timber in the construction of outdoor amenities such as a school bus shelter,
picnic tables, benches, gateways, entryway signs, and light fixtures. In 2001, Pomegranate Center received a national fire plan grant from the US Forest Service to explore the use of small-diameter
roundwood as a legitimate way to build outdoor amenities, resulting in the construction of two mailbox shelters, a kiosk, benches, and streetlights built to revitalize an affordable housing complex
in Kent, WA.. The grant contributed to architectural and structural engineer plans, labor, and materials, as well as the creation of a website and written report describing the process and use of the
roundwood. The success of that project generated great interest about the use of small-diameter timber and new partners emerged interested in replicating similar outdoor amenities in their affordable
housing communities. Pomegranate Center’s goal is increase awareness of roundwood as a viable construction material by expanding the use of the material and creating new designs. Our plan is to
add the newly developed designs to the existing designs published in our recent “Roundwood Report” and displayed on our website.

Comments:
Description: The FireSmart Ferry County program is a comprehensive, two-year fire prevention and educational effort geared toward communities in the wildland-urban interface. The FireSmart program will
feature a dedicated Fire Prevention Specialist working across agency lines within Ferry County to build an understanding of WUI fire hazards and how to mitigate them.
The Fire Prevention Specialist will utilize existing resources, such as materials and presentations used by FireWise workshops, FireFree, and FireSafe Spokane. The program will be targeted
toward rural property owners, community leaders and county officials, contractors, school children, and local fire organizations. Since Ferry County consists of small rural communities, media
outreach opportunities are few; so the Fire Prevention Specialist will spend the majority of time on the road making presentations to and coordinating with social, civic, and church groups;
schools, homeowners associations, county officials, clubs, and fire departments. A goal is to coordinate and establish FireWise communities in the county.

Comments:
Description: The purpose of this project is to develop a community response plan for 47,151 acres of high risk lands south of Coos Bay, Oregon. The potential effects of catastrophic fires for western Oregon
communities were demonstrated by the Biscuit Fire in 2002. At risk of fire within the project area include two watersheds providing the majority of Coos Bay & North Bend’s water (service area
population 35,000), a National Estuarine Research Reserve (5,400 acres), about 1/3 of the Coos Co. Forest that provides critical local government revenues, a State Park, and rural residential houses
and urban fringe neighborhoods.
The proposed landscape-based community response plan will provide up-to-date information to land managers and response personnel on emergency access; identify and prioritize significant
ignition risk reduction opportunities; and provide a forum and process for land managers and response personnel to share concerns, information and jointly plan emergency response measures.
The expected project outcome is a fire risk reduction program for land managers and increased institutional capability for local emergency response organizations.

ponds equipped with dry hydrants to be used during emergencies for firefighting resources, in Walker Range FPA District in Northeastern Klamath County. These ponds would be setup for
wildland, structural and aerial suppression apparatus. Currently this area is characterized by dry summers with little or no precipitation during the year. Travel distances to adequate water sources
for aerial and ground firefighting resources, can be extensive and thereby diminishes the effectiveness of these resources. These ponds upon completion will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of
landowner, Rural, State and Federal firefighting resources in the wildland urban interface designated at risk through the National Federal registry.

Description: This project will increase community and agency capacity to create quality jobs by providing community-based and regional monitoring tools and local-level technical assistance. Monitoring is
the way that we can learn from experiments and make mid-course corrections. To assist at the community level, we will provide technical assistance in three communities to: (1) undertake
monitoring to track local worker and contractor capacity for hazard fuel reduction and the utilization of that capacity; and (2) address gaps identified through the monitoring. At the regional level,
we will build on our current regional economic monitoring of the NFP by: (1) working with federal, state agencies, and community based-forestry organizations to incorporate lessons from EWP,
agency, and local monitoring; and (2) filling monitoring gaps identified by community and agency partners as a result of the EWP’s Business and Employment Effects of the NFP monitoring report.
This project will help communities and agencies to: (1) understand progress towards quality jobs in ecosystem management; (2) focus contractor and work assistance to meet real needs; (3) focus
procurement innovation and granting to provide quality jobs for rural communities and forest workers.

Comments:
Description: Creating a fire fuel break surrounding homes in the Greenwater, Washington community is our primary focus. This area is prone to east winds that bring hot dry air from eastern Washington through
the mountain passes and creates a fire danger similar to that in the eastern part of our state. Assisting homeowners in creating defensible space and educating them in identifying fire hazards in and
around the community will also serve to enhance our program.
This area borders the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and is located near the entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park. Private forestland owners have expressed interest in cooperating to help
protect these communities. Community participation and interest is very high in Greenwater due to efforts of a local coordinating group of the USFS, local fire district and DNR in 2002. Through a
cooperative plan we provided a condensed “FireWise” workshop and printed materials including; Living With Fire, Creating Defensible Space, and Home Protection Guide.
This proposal offers a prime opportunity to implement community planning and fire fuels reduction in the wildland/urban interface.

Description: The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) South Puget Sound Region will take the lead in creating a local coordinating group to encourage participation of communities in
reducing the risk of wildfires in Western Washington. Through efforts of state, local, tribal and federal agencies we can predict a successful resolution to the problems facing communities along the
east slopes of the Cascade Mountain Range. Media campaigns, public service announcements, local fire district involvement, air pollution authorities, DNR, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife, local tribal agencies and solid waste agencies will be instrumental in achieving these objectives.
This phase of the project deals with fuels treatment and creating defensible space/survivability. Creating community involvement in work parties, individual property clean up, and fuel breaks
around developments will be promoted. Providing the manpower and equipment to assist in disposal of brush and debris generated is the objective of this project. The utilization of a tree service
contractor(s), Washington State Correction work crews and volunteer workers will enable a large number of homeowners to prepare for and/or prevent a disaster from happening. With assistance
provided through this grant we can make a difference in these communities and provide a more fire safe environment.

Comments:
Description: A definite need to develop a local coordinating group whose goal is to create a comprehensive plan for community awareness, public education and fire fuels reduction exists in the South Puget
Sound Region of the Washington Department of Natural Resources. Decades of dry thick underbrush, light flashy fuels, housing encroachment into the wildland/urban interface, lack of education
and defensible space preparedness, and years of drought conditions have prepared this area for disaster. Discussions with local fire districts, watershed districts, private and public foresters and
insurance companies have proven there is a lack of awareness for the potential of a devastating and catastrophic wildland fire. Watersheds that supply Seattle, Tacoma and other areas of vital water
supplies are in extreme danger of human caused fires. Federal lands adjoining our project area include Mount Rainier National Park, Mt. Baker–Snoqualmie National Forest and the Gifford-Pinchot
National Forest. Our goal is to create intergovernmental coordination to reach our objective of reducing the loss of homes to wildfire, preserve our valuable natural resource areas and reduce the
number of fires caused by human complacency and carelessness. As you will read in this proposal, many state, federal and local agencies will come together as a local coordinating group to achieve

Comments:
Description: The project will construct approximately 364 acres of shaded fuel break and approximately 90 acres of defensible space in the Glenwood area over a three-year period in three different phases. The
shaded fuel breaks will provide a break in the fuel continuity. The reduction of fuels in the privately owned areas will lower the possibility of catastrophic fires. These areas will become
demonstration sites for the community. This will also become an opportunity for an educational site. Individual home site and cultural sites prescription will be available from trained staff, with
work being done by contractors with chippers. Fuels will be chipped to change the fuel continuity, which will reduce fire intensity. This plan will allow the best in protection from wildfire for
these properties and provide for the safety of fire fighters and the public.

Comments: Funded with FS non-fed WUI $$$ in FY 2003
Description: Roslyn and Ronald shaded fuel break maintenance will consist of implementing a grazing (goats and sheep) and mechanical treatment of the existing shaded fuel breaks developed in the Spring of
2001. There was approximately 80 acres treated. We will treat the 80 acres at $100/acre treatment for 5 treatments. Treatments will be completed in the spring and fall 2003 (phase 1 and 2), spring and
fall 2004 (phase 3 and 4) and the spring of 2005 (phase 5). These five treatments should control all the new growth vegetation, in the spring, and developed vegetation, in the fall, under the timber
canopy. The Roslyn shaded fuel break and defensible space project was a nationally recognized project for firewise with mass media coverage. The project has had two growing seasons for
vegetation that is beginning to encroach on the fuel break. The fuel break needs vegetation management to maintain its integrity.

Description: Phase one of Shaded fuel break construction along Cle Elum Ridge and adjacent ridges:
Corridors will be developed at geographic breaks to establish areas that will develop compartments over the landscape for wild fire containment. These corridors will consist of a 200 foot wide
shaded fuel break. The Shaded Fuel Break will have the tree spacing of 20’ by 20’. All trees remaining will be pruned to a height of 20 feet or 30% of the crown. Under story trees and brush will be
removed. The goal is to have a stand of trees with an under growth of grass and low growing brush. Modifying the fuels will eliminate the possibility of catastrophic fires this will improve fire
fighting efforts, fire fighter safety, and risk mitigation.. The modification of fuels to protect the communities of Roslyn, Ronald and Cle Elum, and the developments of Pine Loc Sun, Lanigan Springs,
Lake Dale, Trend West, Driftwood Acres, Domerie Bay, Evergreen Valley and Sunshine Estates with points of interest South of Bible Rock Children’s Camp, Camp Illahee and Cheese Rock from the

Comments:
Description: The project will provide cost-share funds to non-industrial private family forest owners, adjacent to national forests or other federal lands in eastern Washington, to implement critical wildfire risk
reduction practices on Condition Class 3 lands. Cost-shared practices will include: Development of Wildfire Risk Reduction/Forest Stewardship Plan, thinning, pruning, slash reduction,
prescribed burning, and defensible space treatments. Anticipated outcomes: 15,000 acres of plans. 2000 acres of critical risk reduction treatments resulting in reduced risk/improved protection on
50,000+ acres of federal and private forest lands. DNR Forest Stewardship and Wildfire Prevention personnel will visit all applications, provide project specifications, and prioritize applications
for funding. Work will be done by private contractors and/or the landowners. DNR will inspect completed work and issue payment. Cost-sharing will be at 75%, as with previous cost-share
programs. The landowner must contribute at least 25% of the cost of the project and assume 100% of practice maintenance costs for at least 10 years. The “system” is already operational and will
allow immediate implementation and an extensive backlog of NIPF landowner applicants (200+) already exists with projects that are ready-to-go. Previous programs in this vicinity, funded from
other sources which are now exhausted, have proven very popular and effective.

minimum of 25% of the cost of the project plus the cost of ten years worth of practice maintenance.
DNR already has a successful wildfire reduction cost-share “system” in place which has successfully operated for the past two years. Therefore, implementation will be immediate upon receipt of
funds. There is currently a backlog of over 100 landowners ready and waiting to participate.

Description: Washington State will continue to expand and develop partnerships with California, Oregon and Canada for the purpose of reducing fire hazard risks by uniting and celebrating Wildfire Awareness
Week together. Wildfire Awareness Week is a reminder to homeowners and communities we are about to enter wildfire season and encourages activities that will reduce the risk of fires to
communities and natural landscapes. Building such a partnership will reduce fire hazard risks throughout all landownerships and landscapes. Furthermore, partnerships: 1) increase capacity with
the limited funds and staffing resources each entity has to offer in reaching out and working with local communities and businesses to be able to respond quickly and effectively to fire hazards and
risk situations in their communities; 2) better increase the opportunities for corporate sponsorship contributions for mass marketing to reach the public with our message as well as to reduce
program costs; and 3) increase public awareness of fire safety and the prevention of wildfire-related deaths and property damage by promoting wildfire prevention strategies.

Description: Fire Prevention staff have found the use of professionally created and marketed ads and puppet/clown shows to be two effective ways to deliver our fire prevention messages to the public. Here at
the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) we are currently working to build our fire prevention library. DNR is looking for funds to air thesefire prevention ads (TV, radio, newspaper, etc.) prior
to critical periods, e.g., 4th of July, etc..
Also, DNR has trained staff in puppetry and clowning. Fire statistics have shown that people visiting from Western Washington cause many of our fires in Eastern Washington. The puppet/clown
shows have shown to be an effective way in getting the fire prevention message out to juveniles. DNR lacks funding to update the puppet/clown show and associated props. Currently, our South
Puget Sound Region (SPS) puts on a vast number of puppet/clown shows at schools and other events. SPS is building prevention partnerships in order to be able to respond to the number of

Description: The Mount Howard WUI Fuels Reduction Project will reduce the fire hazard to the Wallowa Lake community, which is the mostly densely developed and highest valued private property in
Wallowa County. This community is listed in the Federal Registrar as a WUI Community at Risk.
The current situation is heavy downed fuels, dense ladder fuels in the under story and significant insect mortality on National Forest ownership, immediately adjacent to private land. Completing
this project will reduce the risk of a large-scale fire that would have detrimental impacts to watershed values, lynx habitat and pose a high risk to life and property in the Wallowa Lake basin and
upper Prairie Creek.

Comments:
Description: Past forest management practices in the western United States have resulted in significant acreages containing dense stands of small diameter and underutilized (SDU) timber. When producing
traditional lumber products, much of this material has insufficient value to offset harvesting costs, which limits economical stand management. While a variety of products have been suggested as
potential uses for SDU material, the reality is that sawmills and cut-stock operations are the main industries in many of the areas containing SDU material. Therefore, to be used in sufficient
quantities, techniques need to be developed to make the use of this material more economically viable for the lumber and cut-stock industries. SDU stem size and form provide logs with very small
scale volumes and little opportunity to produce traditional dimension or shop lumber. Therefore, it must be shown that the true value of the logs is based on higher-value secondary products, such
as cut-stock parts. This project will analyze various processing parameters and strategies to determine the optimum stem bucking, log breakdown, and board edging strategies to produce the
optimum log value by maximizing cut-stock part and by-product recoveries. When combined with previous research, sawmills and cut-stock manufacturers will have a clearer picture of the
feasibility of utilizing SDU material. If feasibility is shown, increased bidding for stand management operations will lead to improved forest health and fuel reduction. If not, subsidy levels required
will be identified.

Description: The purpose of this project is to demonstrate a variety of small diameter fuel treatment by-product- utilizing habitat enhancement and watershed restoration products in Central Oregon. In addition
to the demonstrations, data will be collected and analyzed to monitor product effectiveness and for potential business plan development.
A variety of structures – including stream bank stabilization, erosion control, and habitat enhancement products – will be constructed and placed by COIC youth crews in three sites across Central
Oregon. The demonstrations will be marketed to participating partners, as well as to other private individuals and non-profit and public land management agency staffs that would potentially use
these products. Project costs and broad market data will be collected in support of a potential business plan for local commercial development of the products.
COIC will provide project management, administration, youth crew labor, and market development services; Forest Concepts LLC. will provide training, equipment, and logistics support; the
Deschutes National Forest will provide raw materials (small logs), and local watershed councils will provide demonstration sites and individual site parameters and goals.

Preliminary findings suggest that Indurite may add considerable value to small diameter softwood lumber used in specialty wood markets, including flooring and furniture, as well as in structural
applications. This project will address this potential through two phases: 1) Research and Testing; and 2) Facility Siting and Market Analysis. The first phase involves the use of Janka and ASTM
tests of hardness/strength and flame resistance. The second phase involves the determination of facility requirements for three sites in Central Oregon, and analysis of market potential. The
information generated will be developed in partnership with Central Oregon primary forest products partners. Indurite-treated boards will also be run through a Central Oregon flooring facility to
determine its suitability for flooring.
This project is an implementation project of the COPWRR project. The COPWRR Strategy Framework, developed with the assistance of the COPWRR Advisory Council (a 24-member stakeholder
group), identified the development of Indurite technology in the region as one way to add value to small diameter fuel treatment by-products, thus enabling fuel treatment dollars to be stretched
farther. This utilization project is coordinated with a COPWRR effort to stabilize small diameter timber supply in Central Oregon.

Comments:
Description: The overarching purpose of Phase III will be to engage in product(s) development and market research leading to the initiation or expansion of small diameter biomass utilization in Central Oregon.
In particular, the processes and analyses completed in Phases I and II will be directed towards small diameter biomass utilization projects.
Specifically, project staff and partners will work to match utilization opportunities identified in the COPWRR Strategy Framework with demonstrated small diameter supply. Identified utilization
options include primary and value-add production, and commodity and niche markets.
The ability to achieve these goals depends upon the ongoing coordination and collaboration already exhibited in Phases I and II. To this end, the Project Coordinator will continue to maintain
and foster the work of the multi-stakeholder COPWRR Advisory Council, the Implementation Teams, and other local and regional partners. Public outreach and education will also continue.
Project staff and partners will also work to capture private foundation dollars to help fund product development and biomass supply stabilization efforts.

Comments:
Description: The Watershed Research and Training Center, in partnership with Deschutes Project Impact, local fire protection districts, and several other local organizations and agencies are proposing to
undertake a 2-phase community fire planning process in the Upper Deschutes Basin. During Phase I, we will compile existing data on fire risk, treatments, and mitigation strategies and fuel
reduction activities from the diverse groups working in the region on fire issues to create a comprehensive picture of fire risk, hazard, and fuel reduction needs and opportunities. Based on this
information, in Phase II, we will partner directly with local fire departments to create 3 community-level fire plans that: 1) identify gaps in fire management infrastructure and recommend
improvements; 2) identify community values at risk; 3) identify and prioritize potential fuel reduction projects using extensive community involvement and mapping processes in those three
communities. These three community-level plans would then be linked to the larger landscape plan created in Phase I.

Description: This project builds upon Feasibility/Business Planning Study (funded under NFP 01) recommendations to further test produce and market test various products (i.e. structures,furniture) utilizing
existing producers and infrastructure. This proposal focuses on roundwood and will test the ability of existing producers in the Twisp area to utilize existing equipment and infrastructure to
profitably produce high quality, market acceptable roundwood products. The resulting products will be used as test marketing samples. (A similar scope pilot project to produce and test market
flooring and panelling products is ongoing in the Tonasket area with NFP 02 funds.) The project will engage existing local producers to: 1.Test the quantitative and qualitative aspects of selected
stands of local small diameter suppressed Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine; 2. Determine potential recovery rates and costs for peeling and milling small logs into various products; and 3. Test
market those samples to determine potential pricing and market acceptance. Anticipated benefits of this pilot project include: 1.To determine the suitabilities of existing infrastructure to produce
desired results; 2. To test cooperative arrangements between local producers; 3. To refine Business Plan assumptions with actual results.

Comments:
Description: Okanogan Communities Development Council is a nonprofit community development organization dedicated to promoting sustainable economical and ecological development. Our region is all of
Okanogan County and our focus is in creating healthy forests and healthy communities through utilizing our small diameter timber resource. Recent catestophic fires in our county have raised
awareness of the need to expand fuels reduction efforts, occuring with some success in the Methow Valley, to other parts of the county. Through our efforts we have become networked with many
landowners who are asking for assistance with thinning their property and many organizations that provide services for our forests. This project will focus on organizing the land owners,
particularly those adjacent to public lands, provide them with stewardship education, connect them with existing organizations and businesses and resources to develop stewardship plans,
contractors to harvest, and utilize the harvested material either through existing and new businesses. We are partnering with several organizations including Okanogan Conservation District,
Okanogan County, Washington State Department of Natural Resources, and many other groups to develop a cooperative strategy for providing these services more efficiently and effectively in order
for public dollars to go farther toward reducing wildfire risks. The project has two phases, a Strategtic Prioritization phase which identifies landowners and priority risk areas where treatments are
most needed, and an Implementation phase which targets a 300-400 acre pilot watershed for treatments utilizing a coordinated program for service contracts, established and monitored by a multiparty advisory group.

Description: The project intent is to continue the efforts of the Interagency cooperation of Yakima County Fire District 5 and Yakama BIA, in planned fuel breaks by fuel reduction and treatment, the assessment
projects using the Fire Wise format and a revised NFPA-299, and our educational efforts within our communities. This project will expand on our Interagency cooperation and provide
opportunities for our community members to get involved with a program that is focused on the safety of their families and their property. Through education, those same community members will
become a partner in fire safety recognition by better understanding fire dangers and how to deal with them. Fuel breaks will be strategically placed by reviewing past fire history so we can prevent
the devastation and reoccurrence of that magnitude of fire. We will utilize volunteer fire fighters in a seasonal capacity to perform some of the work. These same volunteers that respond to the
community emergencies will do assessments and Fire Wise education in their hometown, this alone will foster a partnership in our fire prevention programs and greatly enhance our educational

Comments:
Description: This project will provide cost-share funding and technical assistance to woodlot owners to reduce fuel loading by pre-commercial thinning, pruning (the ladder fuels), removal of undesireable
vegetation and slash disposal (including handpiling, chipping, and underburning).
The program will focus on land holdings between 1-20 acres in the urban wildland interface where considerable urban development has taken place and where fuel loading has increased due to
aggressive fire supression and lack of forest management.
The project will provide opportunities for landowner education and awareness related to fuel reduction strategies and resource stewardship. Key landowners will be targeted to foster and promote
sustainable resource management concepts as mini-demonstartion projects in various neighborhoods. Properties that are adjacent to or near treatment areas on public land will be emphasized.

Description: A highly motivated and diverse group of stakeholders has been working toward the development of a wood products center to promote the utilization and merchandizing of small diameter (SDM)
timber products. Recently held meetings are building on converging opportunities such as increased funding of on-the-ground fuels removal, ongoing pilot projects for small diameter material
(Boaz/BLM and Medford Water Commission), and the availability of a mobile sorting and processing facility. Having analyzed past similar attempts and current opportunities, the group is
developing a plan for a pilot facility to demonstrate the need for the centralized sorting and marketing of small diameter products. Lack of information has been identified as a missing critical
component for marketing by stakeholders including landowners, contractors, federal land management agencies and manufacturers of wood products.
This project will develop a proactive, wide-spread information and marketing network as well as a clearinghouse for use throughout Jackson and Josephine Counties. Information will be collected
and dispensed to all parties, educational material on SDM utilization will be provided, trade show presentations will provide more public awareness. These efforts will supply both the immediate
needs of all parties and will also serve to enhance the planning of the pilot facility.

Description: HUKILL HOLLOW is the final step in a three-part sequence for fuels reduction at the southern-most tip of the Squire’s Peak 2003 fire. In 2002 the Sterling Landowners Consortium completed
NFP treatments, and REACH was awarded NFP-2003 for adjacent Gilson Gulch. The HUKILL HOLLOW project completes treatments begun by partner ARWC, concentrating on “tie-in”
treatments & prescriptions for many additional properties. Least active of these 3 groups, outreach and prescription design are expected take longer. ARWC & REACH will hold landowner
meetings and meet individually to fine tune prescriptions. REACH EWT workforce crews will work with local reforestation contractors who will provide a lead worker on Project Training day. 22
acres of machine thinning will be contracted. Restoration includes Eco- blankets, fence removal, hand thinning of 20 acres around homesites, and 3 culverts replaced. Native grasses, tree seedlings,
and shrubs will be used throughout. A complete monitoring component including landowners participation is included. Specially noted is the total acreage protected by carefully siting these
mosaic treatments to take advantage of burns & other adjacent prescriptions.

Description: Landscape level planning and implementation of a project on the L.T. Murray Wildlife Area to identify, prioritize, and mitigate areas at highest risk of catastrophic fire. Implementation of this plan
will improve forest health through use of mechanical thinning, slash piling, and burning throughout the L.T. Murray W.A., as prioritized by the plan.
Project Goal: Perform fire history analysis, baseline inventory assessment, planning, coordination, and mapping activities that will prepare the L.T. Murray W.A. for fuels treatments. These fuels
treatments will reduce the impacts of potential wildfires and benefit wildlife and vegetation dependent on a high-frequency low-intensity fire regime. This will include the reintroduction and
maintenance of fire in the ecosystem through the use of prescribed burning. The desirable outcome will be a plan for the W.A. that provides prescriptions and a strategy for fuels treatments integrated
with prescribed burning, and includes a commitment to regular monitoring of the effects in order to make adaptive changes during the course of the project and beyond.
