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: 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.

and communities are requesting this program in response to Lomakatsi's pilot “Multi-regional Fuels Reduction Workforce Training / Demonstration Program”, coordinated with NFP funds during
January - March 2002. This program is creating widely supported models of effective, ecologically-based fuels reduction practices that are building bridges across which landowners, communities,
environmental groups, and agencies are working together to support the goals of the National Fire Plan. Project partners will assist in identifying and measuring secondary forest products to provide
baseline data for partners assessing marketing feasibility for thinning by-products from privately owned lands. Program will include by-product utilization demos to help address economic, social and
environmental concerns about forest fuels reduction.

Description: The Evans Creek watershed is among the most fire prone areas in Southern Oregon. This project will engage & empower rural residents to become more aware and active in wildfire prevention &
response. It will begin with a one-day workshop to develop the capacity of the Watershed Council members to conduct outreach, provide public education. Working with agencies the Council will
conduct 3-4 localized workshops to increase awareness and promote utilization of existing programs and resources. The Council will coordinate with agencies to facilitate the development of two
neighborhood fire strategies complementing fire planning activities occurring on Federal lands and in ODF priority areas. These will include risk assessment and planning. This project will pave the way
for the Watershed Council to continue to provide education and facilitation of neighborhood fire plans throughout the fire-prone watershed and to develop a role of liaison between the agencies and the
dispersed rural residents.

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: Provide financial assistance and incentives to landowners to complete survivable space fuels reduction around homes and community fuel reduction zones. This is a continuation and expansion of an
existing successful landowner rebate/incentive program in coordination with the Applegate Communities Collaborative Fire Protection Strategy’s (Applegate Fire Plan) 24 partners. This FY2003 project
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

to the Museum is wildfire and the area around it would also be directly impacted by wildfire. The proposed long-term plan and implementation process would ensure forest health for this public facility;
the 135-acre Museum grounds--consisting of second-growth pine forest, grass, and bitterbrush vegetation; and the bordering properties--private forests on the north and east, and National Forest System
lands on the south. The long-term plan will identify wildfire risk areas, and wildfire implementation and mitigation activities will take place on the grounds.

Description: This grant will allow the Forest Grove District (two unit offices, Columbia City and Forest Grove) to purchase two infrared imaging cameras (one per unit) to be used to insure that escaped debris burns,
slash fires or other fires are completely extinguished so they do not rekindle in to a wildfire. These cameras will also enable units to monitor and assess whether or not debris piles or slash piles are
completely extinguished, thus preventing wildfires in the interface.

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 2000 SFA home survivable space grant and NFP Hazard Mitigation Title IV/Multi-Resource Stewardship funds to landowners in communities that have
not received NFP funding yet 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 BLM will be moving into for fuel treatment. This project provides a perfect match with a proposed fire planning
effort by the watershed council by providing both an incentive 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

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: 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: 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: This will build on the Illinois Valley Community Fire Plan funding we received for 2002 through 2004. There will be several training work shops for the whole community on how to do a fire safety
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: This project asks landowners to join and cost share in a voluntary effort to reduce fuels and create Defensible Space around their homesites. Heavy fuel loads, hot dry summers and rapid residential
development put homeowners and the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in peril. Project reduces fuels at 131 homesites, reduces ladder fuels on critical access and escape roads for 30 homeowners,
and builds a community fuel break protecting 12 homes. Total area treated is about 248 private acres, including 203 adjacent to or intermingled in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and 45 acres
about one mile distant. Last year, Friends of the Greensprings (FOG) a 350-member community based 501c(3) organization field checked fuel loads, mapped high fire danger areas, developed 146
requests for ODF consultation visits, and helped to create I-acre Defensible Spaces at 115 residential homesites. Funding this project will provide Defensible Space at half the 484 rural households

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 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.
