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: 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: 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.

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.

Description: This project would inventory the wildland urban interface and make one on one contact with the rural residents within the Klamath-Lake District. This area covers 1.3 million acres of private lands
intermingled with approximately 10 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 three areas in the Klamath-Lake District and has proved invaluable in assessing fire protections needs during large fire
situations. The areas completed represent less than 2% of the total area

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: This project will create defensible space around homesites within the Rural Forest Interface areas in Umatilla County. Funds obtained from this grant will be used as a cost share incentive for private forest
landowners within the Rural Forest Interface areas of Umatilla County. It will build upon fuels mitigation projects in place and planned in Umatilla County. Project coordination is occurring Bureau of
Indian Affairs and with Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation to address a large fire-prone interface area along the I-84 corridor that encompasses several small communities at risk between Poverty
Flats and Meacham, Oregon. We have found, with existing projects, that demand for assistance far exceeds funding. Wood fibers and local work force, hopefully including the NEO District youth crew
(pilot) will be utilized whenever feasible to support a local depressed economy. Financial stability from cost share funds will benefit both the environment and local citizens. Educational material
(existing) will be utilized and promoted.

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: 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.

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

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

Description: The COPWRR Project and the Advisory Council serve as a community-based "hub" of networking, facilitating, and communication for the National Fire Plan projects under way in Central Oregon. The
working focus of the Advisory Council is to create a strategy to implement ecologically sustainable, economically viable, market-driven methods to remove hazardous fuel and utilize non-sawtimber
biomass from Central Oregon's public and private lands. The COPWRR Phase II Project is focused upon the continuation of the local "hub" function, and the implementation and refinement of the
COPWRR Strategy. The six core goals of Phase II are to (1) maintain the energy and dynamic interaction of 24 diverse local stakeholder groups that comprise the COPWRR Advisory Council (and six
other partner organizations – see list in section 4) to help monitor, guide, and implement the COPWRR Strategy; (2) continue to guide local utilization and treatment demonstration projects; (3) encourage

Description: Project will develop a basic local community plan for wildfire response, improve fire district preparedness, and provide community education regarding fire prevention and risk reduction. The community
wildfire response plan will identify areas of concern, community values at risk, a community emergency center, local emergency contacts and information. Important local information, such as homeowner
locations, roads, gates, water sources, and access/egress points, will be gathered for integration with existing map coverage of the area. Large-scale maps containing strategic response information will be
created and distributed to homeowners living in the Bull Run and Sandy CPO areas. Local fire district wildfire preparedness, communications, and response in the event of an electrical power failure or
disaster will be improved by the purchase of ham radios and automatic power transfer switches for two fire stations. Community homeowners will receive training and educational materials regarding fire
prevention and risk reduction.

Description: Oregon Natural Hazards Workgroup (ONHW) at the University of Oregon’s Community Service Center is proposing to assist communities in Central Oregon to build capacity and develop wildfire
mitigation plans to prepare for and reduce risk from wildland/urban interface fires. This will be accomplished through a coordinated and comprehensive regional planning process that fosters partnership
development, cooperation, and resource sharing among federal, state, and local government and community and regional organizations. ONHW uses a collaborative approach to mitigation planning in
Oregon that builds local capacity through partnerships, training, and technical assistance and resources. The process focuses on fostering partnerships among agencies and communities to determine
community need, identify issues and resources, and develop strategies for risk reduction. Among the project outcomes is a planning model that communities statewide will be able to use in future planning
processes.

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: 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.
