Description: The project will develop a digital infrastructure of at risk wildland urban interface zones within the Jefferson Co Fire Dist #1. Initially we will be targeting the same six (6) subdivisions identified in last
year's grant for fuels mitigation covering 350 dwellings situated on 850 acres of urban interface area.
Program outcome will provide and identify zones with a digital mapping system to be used for prefire planning, accurate and timely fire response, public education within the targeted subdivisions and
integration with other agency digital systems.

Description: Our goal is to provide members of the Glide Rural Fire Protection District community with education and information regarding safeguarding their homes from wildland/urban interface problems. Almost
all of the fire district is surrounded by forested lands and is at risk of fire. This project will provide the volunteer members of Glide Rural Fire Protection District with training in regards to fighting
wildland/urban interface fires as well as how to educate the public while out on other types of calls or during open houses and other public education activities.This will be done by using up-to-date
training. This training includes the use of an In-Focus projector and a laptop computer. Glide Rural Fire Protection District does not have either of these items which would allow us to take this
educational program on the road to different parts of our rural fire district.

Description: Design and manufacturing cost data collected in Phase I of this project suggest that small diameter timber can be used as a raw material for fencing products. However, the results of the first phase clearly
indicate that more quamtitative marketing and economic information is required to identify and evaluate specific market opportunities. A market assessment, in conjunction with an economic analysis of
harvesting and fence manufacturing costs, will provide the basis to effectively assess the opportunity for successfully utilizing small diameter thinnings to manufacture fencing products. In addition, we
will conduct a log furniture design contest similar to the ongoing fence design contest. The results of the log furniture design contest with be integrated with the fence designs to provide entrepreneurs with
a broad range of innovative fencing and log furniture design ideas that demonstrate the economic feasibility of utilizing small diameter timber in value-added products and stimulate these entrepreneurs to
identify new innovative uses for small diameter thinnings.

Description: **** estimate, &&& Phase 1 completed , phase 2-- 3/1/02 through 9/1/03 ****
This project is to enhance the ability to communicate with emergency response agencies within the county. This radio system is in need of replacement. The present system does not work well in the
wildland areas of eastern Curry County, which comprise the majority of the county. Most of this wildland is under federal control, (over 65% of Curry County is federal land). Completion of this project
will allow emergency response agencies, (fire departments, law enforcement, search and rescue) to communicate with each other, and with dispatch. This will allow more efficient, timely response to
emergency conditions. When responders arrive on scene, this project will allow those responders to summon additional assistance when needed, in a timely fashion.

Description: Public Safety Guide
Fire District 10 has created a small public safety guide on fire prevention, brush setbacks or defensible space and other safety items for homeowners. The guide will be soft cover and spiral bound
measuring about 5.5" by 8". We currently have most of the guide written about 55 pages, however we need funding to edit and print the book. The safety guide or book will be handed out by Spokane
County Fire District 10 (SCFD10) / BLM interagency engine during the summer months to home and property owners. We want the guide to be available to any fire agency, so the safety guide could be
edited and tailored to phone numbers or contacts in their own jurisdiction.

Description: This project will assess and treat fuels on private lands in Pine and Eagle Valleys which intersperse with federally-managed lands, and provide landowners education through a series of workshops and
meetings discussing fire danger and fire wise practices. The assessment and evaluation of fire conditions on private lands will be done by local organizations. This evaluation will be used to identify and
implement treatment opportunities on a cost-share basis to help fireproof residences and acreages within the interface area. The educational workshops will be put on by United Community Partners in
cooperation with various partners. Data gained from the evaluation will also be used as a part of a feasibility study looking at economic opportunities to produce a product from treatment-generated wood
fiber and to provide jobs for the valley. A pilot treatment project will be done in the summer of 2002 which will also provide data for the feasibility study. Other treatments will be done in 2003 and 2004.
1000 acres may be treated.

Comments:
Description: This project is a continuation of the Wildfire Risk Reduction Project that the Grant Soil and Water Conservation District (GSWCD) initiated in January 2002. Upon meeting with several cooperators it was
recognized that there is a need for assistance and coordination in fire prevention, education and planning in Grant County. This grant has three parts. The first being the development of a Community
Wildland Urban Interface Plan to educate residents and community leaders of fire risk and hazards in the interface and promote FIREWISE actions. Secondly this project will develop or implement new
fire prevention and education programs previously not available in Grant County which will include a county prevention website, “FireWorks Curriculum”, new property owner packet, prevention and
education materials supply. GSWCD will also assist in the planning and implementation of “FIREWISE Communities Workshops”. In the third part of this grant, GSWCD would continue assisting in
current fire prevention, education and planning projects with different partners. The goal of the project, which is partially funded by this grant, is to prevent unwanted wildfires that might have resulted in
damage to local watersheds, fish/wildlife habitats and negative impacts on the local economy.

Description: This project is a Wildland Urban Interface Fire prevention awareness, education, and alternative disposal of reduced fuels assistance Program. The Fire District believes that this program will enhance and
advance previous joint programs that have been conducted by the Fire District in cooperation with the Oregon Department of Forestry, Walker Range Patrol Association and the Deschutes National Forest.
The project includes the purchase of manufactured “Wildfire Danger Signs” that will keep residents and visitors aware of the fire danger. The purchase of approximately 9,000 copies of “Living with Fire”
A Guide for the Homeowner and for the bulk mailing of them to every mailing address in the Fire District and our neighboring community of Sunriver. The final element of the project is to fund the
purchase of a chipper capable of handling up to a 5” capacity. This will be utilized to help residents get rid of the fuels they have reduced, without burning, and allow the property owner to use the chipped
product as ground cover or mulch.

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 Tiller Ranger District started this project in April of 2001. A Wildland Urban Interface Grant (WUI) was awarded in the amount of $19,140.00 in cooperation with Douglas Forest Protective
Association (DFPA). Through this grant we were able to establish partners with DFPA, Tiller Volunteer Fire Department and 4 private landowners. The project is located in the town of Tiller and the
area of work includes 6 private homes, a local grade school, 2 private business, the community church, volunteer fire department and National Forest lands. In 2001 were able to complete 38 acres of
work, which included brushing, mowing, pruning and burning underbrush and ladderfuels around these properties. For this season we need to maintain the work accomplished and at the same time start on
the next phase of including an addition 60 acres.

Description: The intent of this project is to increase the number of fire plans and thinnings conducted by the Forestry Action Committee, Lomakatsi, and others by providing an economic incentive to property owners
through creating links to reliable, growing markets for small diameter and other materials removed in fire hazard reduction thinning. Demand for thinning by-products will be enhanced by helping targeted
wood product businesses increase sales through assistance in marketing studies, marketing activities, business plan development, feasibility studies for new product development, and leasing of select,
critical equipment that will increase value-added opportunities and/or reduce production/cost bottlenecks that are negatively impacting on sales. The equipment will simultaneously be used to demonstrate
to other wood working businesses the potential for utilizing small diameter material. The goal of marketing collectively is to establish the Illinois Valley as a destination center for high quality, hand crafted
wood products. This project will result in at least 8 jobs being created and/or retained

Description: The removal of tons of forest fuels under the National Fire Plan raises two issues – whether the material can be disposed of in an environmentally manner, and whether the material can be utilized for an
economic benefit. This proposal provides a viable solution for both of those issues, as well as providing quality jobs and tax revenues for Clackamas County, Oregon.
Logistically, Clackamas County is
a suitable location for a biomass power plant, including the availability of forest debris for use as a fuel source. However, the county faces a significant hurdle before the project can get under way. A
feasibility study must be conducted to determine the size and location of the plant as well as identify other necessary fuels and users of the steam and/or power that will be generated by the facility. The
Fuels Utilization and Marketing Projects grant will fund the feasibility study, which will be completed within six months. If feasible, construction can then begin on the project, which will create a
profitable use for the forest fuels while providing a non-polluting method of their disposal.

Description: 38% of the Port Madison Indian Reservation constitutes of forestland. Forest roads have been opened in 1977 to ease logging. These roads have become barely accessible, some of them turning into trails.
The Forest Program of the Suquamish Tribe is proposing to open the existing forest roads as well as new fire roads for purposes of prevention and suppression of fire incidents. The objective of the project
is to enhance the capacity of the Tribe to develop a fire prevention plan and implement it in the Port Madison Indian Reservation. The plan will constitute of opening fire roads;chipping, clearing and
mulching brush and branches; making a firewood reserve for community elders; educating the community on fire prevention and suppression. The proposed life of the project is six months with a longterm perspective of implementing and maintaining a fire prevention plan. The project requires the purchase of Bob Cat, Trailer, Wood Chipper, Chainsaw, fire fighting tools and a water tank to be handy
during fuel burning in case of fire accident.

Description: Project will reduce fuels on private properties adjacent to Colestin Road, the only route in-to and out-of the Colestin Valley of Southwestern Oregon. Approximately 200 people live in the Colestin area.
This roadside fuels reduction proposal increases the beneficial effects of Lomakatsi's current wildfire hazard mitigation project to reduce fuels along private properties adjacent to Central Oregon Pacific
Railroad (CORP) easements. In some areas, CORP easements are adjacent to Colestin Road, and throughout the area railroad sparks have historically ignited wildfires. This increases the importance of
improving safety and accessibility of Colestin road for residents and Firefighters alike, in the event of a wildfire from any source! Through this project, this narrow dirt road can become an advantageous
fuel break, enhancing the adjacent CORP easement thinning project, increasing fire-fighting capabilities if needed. Colestin Rural Fire District Chief Steve Avgaris, residents, and CORP thinning
participants indicated a critical need for improved fire safety along their sole transportation route. Local employment will be used to protect homes, properties and surrounding federal resource areas
including Rogue River NF, Mount Ashland ski area, Cascade Siskiyou National Monument, and Interstate 5.

Description: This project will help increase community and agency capacity to provide quality jobs while meeting other goals of the National Fire Plan by providing community-based and regional monitoring tools.
Monitoring is the way that communities and agencies can to evaluate progress, learn from experiments, and make mid-course corrections. This project will: (1) provide technical assistance to communitybased efforts to monitor employment results, and (2) expand regional monitoring and evaluation of the economic effects of the National Fire Plan. To assist at the community level, we will revise and
widely disseminate our employment results monitoring guide and expand our technical assistance from two to three communities. At the regional level, we will build on our current regional economic
monitoring of the National Fire Plan by: (1) working with the federal agencies to incorporate lessons from EWP and agency monitoring into future planning, (2) identifying monitoring gaps and strategies
to fill those gaps, and (3) expanding EWP monitoring to include grants to agencies such as the Oregon Department of Forestry. The project will help communities and agencies to: (1) understand
progress towards quality jobs in ecosystem management; (2) focus contractor and worker assistance to meet real needs; (3) focus procurement innovation to provide quality jobs for rural communities and
forest workers.

Comments:
Description: There are hundreds of thousands of acres of young, fast-growing ponderosa pine stands in the Western U.S. Utilization of this for lumber is often uneconomic due to warp. A recent study conducted by
OSU, in cooperation with the US Forest Service and Burnt River Forest Products (Unity, OR), confirmed this problem when approximately 80% of lumber obtained from young, fast-growing ponderosa
pine failed to meet grade due to warp. We propose to demonstrate that a technology recently developed in New Zealand can be used to produce straight dry lumber from green and dry warped lumber
using high temperatures and elevated pressure. The technology is also applicable to difficult-to-dry hardwoods. If a board is held straight during drying, warp is reduced. However, when conventionally
dried, the memory in the wood polymer structure can cause warp after drying. The higher temperature and pressure will eliminate this effect. A report will be prepared documenting warp reduction,
necessary operating parameters, and estimated costs. This will be used to design and obtain partners for a precommercial version of the dryer. A nontechnical how-to guide will also be prepared which
summarizes the findings.

Description: In cooperation with local economic developers, equipment consultants and utilities this project will investigate the feasibility of three small business manufacturing alternatives to utilize small diameter
logs, with each requiring different levels of investment. A low cost, $100,000, portable saw mill has been designed locally to manufacture lumber in the woods from small diameter logs. A trailer mounted
veneer lathe specially designed to utilize small diameter logs at the harvest location could be purchased with necessary support equipment for under $1,000,000. Small co-generation facilities to produce
steam and electricity may cost less than $5,000,000 and could utilize forest biomass baled or chipped in the woods to augment log and industrial residual fuel supplies. This project will investigate the
fixed and variable costs, raw material needs, employment opportunities, tax contributions, product potentials, and other opportunities associated with operation of one or more of these facilities and
resulting contribution to fuel risk reduction and rural economic vitality.

Description: This project proposal builds on fuel reduction and forest restoration research currently underway on public lands throughout the U.S. Citizen knowledge and understanding of the rationale behind
management practices are central to public acceptance of agency programs. Thus, many natural resource agencies have begun to look for more effective formats for communicating with their publics.
Recently, a number of innovative fuel reduction and outreach programs, including partnerships between state and federal agencies, educational institutions, and citizen groups, have been initiated
throughout the Pacific Northwest. Given the limited resources available for outreach activities it is important to identify the techniques and attributes of successful programs that meet management
objectives. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of agency public communication strategies and outreach activities designed to influence perceptions of wildland fire management.
This project will link with a series of similar assessments currently being conducted (or planned for 2002-3) by the research team in other forest regions to provide a more in-depth understanding of the role
of information programs and the usefulness of different communication techniques.

Description: Provide assistance to non-industrial landowners in the Dry Creek Drainage of the Seven Mile Hill area just outside of The Dalles, for vegetation management to create defensible space, to reduce fire
hazard, and improve forest health in the adjoining timber stands. The funds would be used as a cost share incentive to allow landowners to make a single entry into stands and treat the total stand to meet
the objective of reducing the fire hazard and improving forest health. This area is at extreme risk from wildfire due to the increase in rural residences in the Interface, and the signifant role that the
Columbia Gorge winds play in creating a potential for disasterous wildfires.

Description: The intent of the project is to develop a fuels management plan in our district. A fuels assessment of hazardous fuels in the wildland urban interface would be completed by using 2002 color air photos
made available by the local BLM agency. These photos would allow us to prioritize areas to target for fuels reduction. CFPA would support this project with manpower and other needs to complete this
fuels analysis. With a completed fuels management plan our agency in conjuction with the USFS, BLM and local Rural Fire Departments could assist communities with identified fuel hazard areas in
reducing these hazards. This would be accomplished through clearing and chipping fuel hazards around homes.

Description: With increased fuel treatment work the use of fire will increase to dispose of this debris. A portion of this treatment will be too large to cost effectively treat by chipping or removing from the site. This
portion will be piled and burned. This grant will fund the purchase of 3 infarred imaging cameras to prevent the likelyhood of hold over wild fire that could occur from this type of burning. The cameras
would be located at ODF offices in Pineville, John Day and the Dalles. The cameras would be available to cooperators, rural fire departments, and other agencies to prevent fires or assist in the efficient
and effective mop up of wildfires.

Description: This project will create a digital vegetation / fuels map using satelllite imagery for the Central Oregon Fire Protection District. Currently, we have no 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 4 meter resolution. This would should give us the detail to acomplish
Wildland Urban Interface fuels reduction mapping and aid the currently ongoing NFP fuel reduction projects and assist in planning and lay out of future projects.

Under the 2001 grant a fuels reduction program was begun that targeted the reduction of fuels 100 feet around structures and along drive ways. This program was a 50% cost share to help defray the cost
of fuels treatment. For 2002 ,we hope to expand treament to treat the whole lot. This will give us, by treating full lots, and connecting lots, a continuous fuel break to protect subdivisions and
communities.

will provide financial assistance for home survivable space projects for landowners identified through the collaborative fire planning process funded by a 2001 Community Assistance grant. This project is
a perfect match for the Applegate Fire Plan as it provides an incentive for landowners to become involved in the community fire plan and accomplish on-the-ground work. It is just one of several projects
being proposed for the Applegate. Other projects being proposed by the plan’s partners would provide work force training, assistance for low-income landowners unable to participate in cost share
programs, and assistance to landowners who prefer approaching fuel reduction in a more “traditional”or tribal manner, and without government involvement

Comments:
Description: Using current GIS technology, identify and map high fire risk areas and the wildland-urban interface in Oregon. Oregon has never accurately identified nor mapped the wildland-urban interface. Such a
mapping is urgently needed in order to set priorities, make sound prevention decisions, and to plan future interface mititation projects. Previous mapping efforts in the state are five to fifteen years old,
were quickly conducted, lacked well defined standards, were completed without the benefit of GIS technology, and were performed with input only from a very limited number of partners and cooperators.
Previous mapping of Oregon's high fire risk areas is now twelve years old and badly out of date. Additionally, the mapping was limited to selected regions of the state and is now of marginal value in
helping to solve today's complex mix of problems.

Description: Use a youth labor crew (at-risk and other youth) to create defensible space around homes in priority wildland urban interface areas in Northeast Oregon. This 8 person crew will be provided through
Traning and Employment Consortium, a private nonprofit partner. The youth will receive life skills classes and academic enrichment from Training and Employment Consortium. The crew will be
supervised and mentored by ODF Forest Officers. A crew leader and Forest Officer will operate power driven equipment along with the crew work. The Forest Officers will also initiate one-on-one contacts
with rural residents in NEO. Partnerships will be developed with rural residents to provide education and motivation to create and maintain a fire safe environment with defensible space. This project will
build upon current NFP funded projects in NEO.

Description: Implement a program which will reduce the risk of fire affecting 10 high risk area communities within the district. To accomplish this the initial process would involve educating the public and
communities to raise awareness in reducing /mitigating the risk of fire. An intense information campaign will be used to initiate this process utilizing a variety of media, the FIREWISE program and
requiring the cooperation of various local fire departments, the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service. The results of this campaign will generate a labor intensive response to provide
technical assistance, educational programs and fuels treatment projects. The net result will be an increased awareness of the impact of fire in the WUI, behavorial changes to reduce the cause(s) of fire and
reducing/eliminating hazardous fuels surrounding homeowners' properties.

Description: This project would inventory the wildland urban interface and make contact with each of the rural residents within the John Day Unit. This area covers 1.6 million acres of private lands intermingled with
approximately 3.4 million acres of federal lands. The demographics have changed in the area from scattered ranches and timberland to a more rural residential with concentrations of homes built in the
forest. Contacts would be made with the rural residents and provide technical assistance in creating a fire safe environment, defensible space. At the same time an inventory would be done on each
improvement or group of improvements that would include access, water availability, bridges, defensible space issues, and specialized equipment needs. This will provide additional information in the
Risk and Hazard analysis process. This has been completed on two areas in the John Day Unit and has proved invaluable in assessing fire protections needs during large fire situations. The areas
completed represent less than 5% of the total area

Description: Land Classification under ORS 526 is an integral part of the department’s Protection Program. This project would involve transferring the current land classification maps to a GIS layer. At this time there
is only one copy of these land classification maps in existence. A loss of these maps would require rebuilding them at an estimate cost of $750,000. The area involved is approximately 400 townships. All
the maps are hand drawn from information developed by the County Land Classification Committees. The maps are updated by hand with each land exchange and classification change. This information
in a GIS layer would facilitate the process for making changes. This information is key in identifying project areas to be treated under the WUI Fuel Treatment grants. When this information is tied with
the county tax lot improvement information a determination can be made on the density and value of improvements at risk from wildland fire

Description: During the project period, July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003 with requested funding of $150,000, GAP will design and implement a wildfire safety and prevention outreach effort and deliver it through
our already existing platform – the Livable Neighborhood Program (LNP). This outreach effort will take place within high hazard communities in Deschutes County, OR and focus on mitigating fire risk
in the wildland urban interface (WUI). All fuels treatments will meet Oregon Senate Bill 360 guidelines. As a result of this outreach, 35 neighborhood groups will be formed protecting a minimum of 300
households representing over 100 acres of direct treatment on high value suburban property from forest fires. These groups will be located strategically along the urban interface to maximize the overall
protection to the community resulting in actual protection to at least three times as many homes. Homes to be targeted will be identified by the local fire departments working in cooperation with the
Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), the US Forest Service (USFS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM). This pilot project will be designed to be rapidly taken to scale in future years.

Description: Phases I & 2 Feasibility/Business Planning (NFP 01) identified flooring and paneling products as having the best potential for value-added manufacturing from small diameter wood from local forests. A
final report being prepared this month by OCDC's consultants addresses strategies, costs and revenue estimates for producing approximately 440 mbf annually of flooring and paneling products. This
proposal(Ph 3) will provide needed information concerning the ability of existing producers utilizing existing equipment and infrastructure to profitably produce high quality, market acceptable products.
The resulting products will be used as test marketing samples. The project will engage existing local producers in a demonstration project to: 1.Evaluate quantity and quality of selected stands of local
small diameter suppressed douglas fir and ponderosa pine for the product lines envisioned; 2. Determine potential recovery rates and costs for milling this wood into various products; and 3. Test market
those samples to determine potential pricing and market acceptance. Anticipated benefits of this pilot project include:1.Suitabilities of existing infrastructure to produce desired results; 2. Test cooperative
arrangements between local producers; 3. Refine Business Plan assumptions with actual results.

Description: Brief Project Description: A Dry-Kiln instillation project is being submitted to the National Fire Plan to stimulate on-site
utilization, research and cost-effective methods to process Non-Traditional wood fiber such as Juniper, LLP, White Fir and small diameter Ponderosa Pine currently being removed from National Forest
lands. In Central Oregon the large dryers located in Prineville and John Day used to process traditional large volumes of 180,000 bf set empty. Large capacity dryers are not currently suited for small
diameter wood or the currently underutilized wood species that are targeted to be removed. Small capacity drying systems are totally non-existent in the multi-fiber production infrastructure. This proposal
addresses the challenges created by the absence of local small volume drying capacities by dramatically reducing added processing costs, reducing added drying costs and reducing added transportation
costs to dryers located in the Willamette Valley.

Description: This project would 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). It would 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 would provide opportunities for landowner education and awareness related
to fuel reduction strategies and resource stewardship. Key landowners would be targeted to foster and promote sustainable resource management concepts as mini-demonstartion projects in various
neighborhoods. More than 50% of potential landowners and properties are already identified. The project would be patterned after the on-going OWEB Middle Rogue Forest Health Initiative Project.

Description: Flammable plants and plant material can increase the fire risk to local homeowners. This project will educate the citizens of La Pine with an interpretive garden filled with plants that are fire-resistant and
will grow in the limited 4,200 ft. growing season. Fire-resistant plants don’t readily ignite from a flame and their foliage and stems don’t significantly contibute to a fire’s intensity. There are a wide
variety of attractive trees and other plants to choose from, but the public is presently unaware of these plants. This garden will give people a beautiful opportunity to see what these plants look like in real
situations. Each plant will have a sign with the plant’s name and specific growing criteria. A large 4 x 8 ft. sign will be located in the park near the garden with contact information, specific explainations
of the Fire Safe Homes Program and information on fire resistant plants. This educational sign will be designed with input from the La Pine Fire Chief, OSU Extension Service, La Pine Garden Club and
ODF.

Description: Specifically, to improve 7 miles of existing fire breaks and fire access roads on Maryhill Museum of Art’s 6000 acre conservatory, (contracted with 3 men/ 133 man hours/ $75 hr.), and install 4 fire
prevention education signs. Maryhill Museum of Art, a private not for profit 501(c) (3) incorporated in the State of Washington, has partnered with Klickitat County department of emergency
management, local ranchers and neighbors to develop a preliminary fire plan for its 6000 acre conservatory. This plan is multi-faceted and includes: removal of hazardous woody fuels; improvement of
existing fire break and fire access roads; development of water access; creation of green belts and installation of fire prevention education signage. In 2001 funds were awarded to begin implementation of
the plan, with a total of 8 acres of woody fuels removed from those 35 acres immediately surrounding the Museum, and to begin rejuvenation of existing fire break/ fire access roads. We ask for your
continued support

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. Within Kittitas & Yakima two sites have been selected as priority high risk, high danger and in high fire activity areas. (1)These areas are able to
be protected as a group with shaded fuel breaks and right of way clearing providing defensable spaces and breaks in the fuel continuity. (2)The reduction of fuels in the "common owned areas" of the subdivisions will allow these areas to be demonstration sites for the community to use as an educational site. (3)Individual home site prescriptions wil be available from trained staff with a roaving chipper that
will be available for homeowners 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.

economic benefit. This proposal provides a viable solution for both of those issues, as well as providing quality jobs and tax revenues for Skagit County, Washington. Logistically, Skagit County is a
suitable location for a biomass power plant, including the availability of forest debris for use as a fuel source. However, the county faces a significant hurdle before the project can get under way. A
feasibility study must be conducted to determine the size and location of the plant as well as identify other necessary fuels and users of the steam and/or power that will be generated by the facility. The
Fuels Utilization and Marketing Projects grant will fund the feasibility study, which will be completed within six months. If feasible, construction can begin on the project that will create a profitable use
for the forest fuels while providing a non-polluting method of their disposal.

Description: Hazardous fuel on lands of US Forest Service, BLM and on private lands is creating both problem and opportunitiy for Harney County. Removal of fuels near all the rural comunities and the munipalities
of the county is critical for safety. Within the range of materials which are potentially available, the mission of the county is to identify products, determine the highest value use and spin off local
products from otherwise waste materials. Three specific areas identified are: 1) Biomass for co-generation/steam production (feasibility) , 2) value added wood products - i.e. kiln drying product for small
portable mill owners (field testing), dairy calf bedding (field trials -shavings), and juniper oil production (field trials); 3)coordination of the flow of materials from hazardous fuels removal to the end use
will greatly improve the efficiency of the businesses involved in wood products. Louisiana-Pacific engineered wood products plant has excess steam capacity to be contibuted for kiln drying, for juniper oil
distillation and a need for dependable and affordable hog fuel. Harney County is already in the process of creating an organization on the model of Wallowa Resources Inc. which will serve to inherit and
advance the successes of the pilot project.

Comments: We have submitted grant applications to numerous foundations and we are confident that we will raise the $134,711 needed to complete the budget. Congressional Districts: All with high fire risks
Description: Despite the best intentions, existing wildfire-related policies and programs find it difficult to help the rural poor within the wildland-urban interface protect themselves from wildfires. Our research suggests
that approximately 3–5 million of the 10-15 million residents in the W-UI of the west lack incomes high enough to meet basic economic needs with enough left over to cover the expense of wildfire
protection. Wildfires intensify poverty by having a pervasive, disproportionately negative impact on those households and communities lacking adequate resources to reduce the flammability of nearby
wildlands, fire-proof homes and other structures, respond quickly when wildfires occur, and recover from economic losses resulting from fires. The impacts also go in the reverse direction, with poverty
increasing the incidence of wildfires, raising the costs of fighting fires, and creating additional risks for firefighters. These problems exist, in part, because there is little communication or coordinated
planning between agencies working on land management/fire issues and those addressing rural poverty. Local fire districts and other government fire prevention programs also lack the capacity or skills to
identify, contact, and provide fire prevention service to the rural poor. To address these concerns, this project will assess the current service delivery system, map high poverty areas at high risk of fire, and
then develop a coordinated regional strategy to fill gaps in fire prevention service delivery. The strategy will be aimed at closing service delivery gaps and building local capacity to provide fire prevention
services to the rural poor. The strategy will be tested through a series of pilot projects, and after a thorough evaluation, policy recommendation will be made to institute a comprehensive and integrated fire
prevention service delivery system for the rural poor throughout Oregon and Washington

management plan for rural residential properties of 10 acres and under. Two to three individuals who received training with the Lomakatsi Restoration Project and who are already doing defensible space
assessments for the Illinois Valley Community Fire Plan Project will attend these workshops. They will become the fire safety technicians and do fire management plans for 10 acre and under properties.
Priority will be given to landowners who participate in neighborhood planning meetings, and who have accomplished their defensible space to ODF's satisfaction. ODF will give rebates for the defensible
space, and if they get the funding, will do the same for work done according to the management plans.

Description: Provide a mechanism for the reduction of ladder fuels and improvement of air quality through the establishment of a demonstration community composting facility in the City of Mt. Vernon, Oregon. Mt.
Vernon is listed as a high-hazard community in Grant County and through this project we would like to demonstrate the reduction of fuel loads within our community and at the same time produce a high
grade product to improve local soil quality and watershed health. It is anticipated this project will help to reduce/eliminate the local "burn-pile" for yard debris and slash disposal within the City. This
project is designed to produce income to help offset the cost of hiring an attendent to monitor the City "burn pile".

Description: This project’s goal is to strengthen and expand the marketing services and tools provided by Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities Partnership (HFHC) to rural, forest-based communities poised to
implement the National Fire Plan. HFHC, a program of Sustainable Northwest, is a marketing collaborative dedicated to stimulating opportunities for forest restoration and producing and marketing the byproducts of those activities. HFHC members convert these restoration ‘by-products’ – small diameter suppressed trees and underutilized species– into quality wood products thus maximizing the economic
return to communities adjacent to the forest and facilitating further restoration efforts. To reach this goal with our partners and members HFHC will: 1. Provide technical assistance– offer marketing,
utilization, business and manufacturing workshops and provide tradeshow exposure for rural wood products manufacturers2. Create marketing materials and tools - such as a sample portfolio, product line
displays, tradeshow booth materials specific to HFHC members, a video/CD-Rom, and focus groups.3. Conduct communications and education – develop and implement an advertising strategy; and
provide opportunities for communication between manufacturers and markets.

Description: There are four varieties of lodgepole pine in the Western U.S. (Pinus contorta). Secondary manufacturers are interested in using smaller diameter lodgepole pine removed as part of fuel treatments in
Eastern Oregon, but are uncertain if the Oregon variety (mostly murryana) has the same manufacturing characteristics and appearance as the more northen variety (latifolia). Primary mills that cut
lodgepole pine in Eastern Oregon are not willing to adapt current manufacturing practicies to accommodate secondary manufactuer needs unless there is sufficient demand. A number of secondary
manufacturers have dropped product lines that use LPP because of unreliable nature of supply. This project consists of: 1) Evaluating LPP demand and characteristics required by members of NWPA, and
other secondary manufacturers; 2) Sourcing raw material from six different sawmills (three sawmills each in E. OR and E. WA); 3) Conducting and documenting manufacturing trials at three OR
secondary manufacturers to evaluate characterisitics and appearance; 4) Determining market acceptance; and 5) Preparing a report and disseminating information through NWPA meetings, publications,
primary manufacturers in Eastern OR and Eastern WA, and U of WA, WSU, and OSU Extension mailing lists.

Description: We propose combining GIS (Geographical Information Systems) fuel/fire layers for NE Washington and making them accessible to the community at large. 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.

Description: Treated fence posts are a value-added product that can contribute to the restoration of over-stocked small-diameter stands while creating local and regional economic development. Unfortunately, many of
these stands are located considerable distances from commercial pressure treatment facilities. Double-diffusion treatment is an option for rural areas, but there are environmental concerns with respect to
chemical leaching. Another alternative is to use longer soak treatments with combinations of water diffusible and low toxicity organic biocides. This approach is more suitable for non-soil contact,
however, the potential for below groundline decay can be mitigated with low-cost external barriers or sleeves that limit the potential for direct soil contact. This project would include controlled trials of
the dipping process in a lab setting, followed by a field demonstration for treatment of lesser utilized species such as intermountain Douglas-fir, grand fir and white fir in Wallowa County using thinning
materials from the Wallowa Whitman National Forest. The treated posts would be installed in demonstration plots in Wallowa County and Corvallis, Oregon. Economic analysis will compare this
approach to conventional pressure treatment and a limited market acceptance survey will be performed

Description: Sunridge Homeowners Assoc. is a non-profit corporation meeting the IRS 501 (c) 6 classification. Sunridge intends to reduce the potential for catastrophic wildfire by reducing the fuel loading within the
boundaries of the project area. There is a total of 193+ acres within the Sunridge Planned Unit Development (PUD). Out of the 193 ac. there is 62 acres of common area and 65 acres of homeowner acreage
that will be treated. Fuel reduction will be accomplished by hand and/or machine. In addition we have contacted adjoining landowners to Sunridge in an effort to cooridinate fuel reduction measures on
their property to further reduce the spread of wildfire. Several neighbors have expressed great interest and have indicated they will contact the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) for assistance. ODF
encouraged us to apply for a direct grant and Fire Marshall John Pierce of Medford Fire Dept. has stated "Any fuel break reduction or the establishment of a defensible space around structures would be

Description: The removal of tons of forest fuels under the National Fire Plan raises two issues – whether the material can be disposed of in an environmentally manner, and whether the material can be utilized for an
economic benefit. This proposal provides a viable solution for both of those issues, as well as providing quality jobs and tax revenues for Whatcom County, Washington. Logistically, Whatcom County is
a suitable location for a biomass power plant, including the availability of forest debris for use as a fuel source. However, the county faces a significant hurdle before the project can get under way. A
feasibility study must be conducted to determine the size and location of the plant as well as identify other necessary fuels and users of the steam and/or power that will be generated by the facility. The
Fuels Utilization and Marketing Projects grant will fund the feasibility study, which will be completed within six months. If feasible, construction can begin on the project that will create a profitable use
for the forest fuels while providing a non-polluting method of their disposal.

Description: The Running Y Ranch is a new partner with REACH, Inc. for developing workforce training in Klamath County. Fuels reduction is critically important in this area listed by Region 6 as ‘High Hazard’ due
to the increasing number of homes in the Wildland-Urban Interface zone at the Running Y. A significant number of homes may be protected by removing oak scrub, invasive Western Juniper, and brush
species in a concentrated area around Kestrel Ridge. Impacts to upland slope above Klamath Lake will be mitigated by restoration treatments performed by the REACH, Inc. Ecosystem Workforce
Training crew as part of their certificated training program. A match by the Running Y will fund restoration to the site, including plantings and upland components. Steep sites mandate hand removal; all
residues will be hand piled, covered, and burnt in winter. A Regional Fuels Reduction Strategy will be seeded by this project under the auspices of partner Fire District #1.

Description: Specifically: To complete the removal of hazardous woody fuels from Maryhill Museum of Art’s 6000 acre conservatory. Contracting with Columbia Tree Service (the same company that cleared 8 acres
with your 2001 award); eight men/ 32 acres/ $3,780 acre.Maryhill Museum of Art, a private not for profit incorporated in the state of Washington, has partnered with county department of emergency
management, local ranchers and neighbors to develop a preliminary fire plan for its 6000 acre conservatory. This plan establishes Maryhill Museum as a prime anchor point for fighting and arresting
wildfires. Multi-faceted, it includes removal of hazardous woody fuels; improvement of existing fire break and fire access roads; development of water access; creation of green belts and installation of fire
prevention education signage. In 2001, you awarded funds to begin implementation of the plan, with a total of 8 acres of woody fuels (at $3,780 an acre) removed from within the 35 acres immediately
surrounding the Museum. We ask for your continued support. Photos representing areas to be targeted are attatched.

Description: The Yakama Nation Lands are a checker board of mixed ownerships, comprised of Allotted, Trust and Non-Trust lands. Protection primarily lies with Yakima County Fire Dist. 5 with areas of mutual
protection with Bureau of Indian Affairs. The project involves the development of an Interagency cooperative for the protection of homes (Trust and Non-Trust), property (Trust and Non-Trust), and
resources. The development of a seasonal interagency staff would assist in the reduction and/or mitigation of fire hazard within White Swan and surrounding community. Interagency crews would assist in
the development of a database that would include locations of residences, improvements and hazards, useful data for both agencies. Public education would be an interagency effort utilizing fire prevention
tools such as Smokey, Sparky, and Freddy. Local media, events in schools and the community would be utilized to assist in public education concerning fire hazards and preventative measures such as
defensible space and structure prepardness.

Description: This proposal will provide helicopters, engines, and tenders with water facilities at locations in Douglas County that are currently lacking adequate facilities. Three ponds large enough to accommodate the
largest helicopter and bucket will be constructed. 1,000,000 gallons will be available at any time up through the end of the fire season. Ten different springs will be developed
and fed into individual 10,000+ gallon tanks. In addition, funding from other sources will be used to make the ponds more environmentally friendly. Shallow water areas will be excavated around the
"body" of the pond so wetland habitat is created. Livestock will be excluded from the area by fencing (if they are present). Fencing will be set back away from the possible drag area of the bucket. The pond
areas will have deed restrictions prohibiting the landowner from running power lines
overhead and requiring the landowner to prevent tall vegetation (trees) from establishing.

Comments:
Description: The removal of tons of forest fuels under the National Fire Plan raises two issues - whether the material can be disposed of in an
envirorunentally sound manner, and whether the material can be utilized for an economic benefit. This proposal provides a viable
solution for both of those issues, as well as providing quality jobs and tax revenues for Yakima County, Washington.
Logistically, Yakima County is a suitable location for a biomass power plant, including the availability of forest debris for use as a
fuel source. However, the county faces a significant hurdle before the project can get under way. A feasibility study must be
conducted to determine the size and location of the plant as well as identify other necessary fuels and users of the steaxn and/or power that will be generated by the facility. The Fuels Utilization and
Marketing Projects grant will fund the feasibility study, which will be completed within six months. If feasible, construction can begin on the project that will create a profitable use for the forest fuels
while providing a non-polluting method of their disposal.

Description: This multifaceted project in the northern poriton of the Josephine County Rural Enterprise Community establishes the local manufacture and marketing of a line of “value-added” end products using small
diameter timber and other materials gleaned from fire hazard reduction activities performed on federal and private lands by trained local work crews. Ultimately, this project is self-sustaining and ongoing,
providing: at least five full-time and one part-time positions to an economically depressed rural area; a reduction in fire hazard to northern Josephine County, which has a high fire risk rating; a pilot
program that demonstrates use and market vitality of small diameter wood in the production of precision fence rail, deck railing, dowels, and other materials; an increase in interagency coordination; and
fund administrative costs and equipment investments for value-added manufacture from small diamater byproducts of fuel hazard reduction and other forest health treatments. Public and private partners
include local fire departments, local landowners, businesses, county, state, and federal agencies.
