- Description
- Boa Prescription Burn Project, NEPA Categorical Exclusion Process A. Introduction This performance-based Work Statement defines the effort required to secure professional services to manage an Inter-disciplinary Team (IDT), conduct environmental analysis and public involvement, and prepare a Decision Memo for a project to reduce fire hazard on the San Bernardino National Forest, Front Country Ranger District near Lytle Creek and Keenbrook California. The project will be analyzed using Forest Service Categorical Exclusion FSH 1909.15, 31.2 (6) in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Background: The Boa Burn is located in an area classified as Wildland-Urban-Interface by the San Bernardino National Forest. Under the National Fire Plan and the Healthy Forest Initiative, emphasis is placed on reducing the risk of wildfire within the urban interface around communities at risk. The area is 834 acres in size. The suppression of low intensity fires for the past 100 years has resulted in a forest condition where the vegetation is denser, ladder fuels are abundant, and there are accumulations of woody material. Some parts of the project area are exceeding the carrying capacity resulting in vegetation mortality. In addition, the San Bernardino National Forest has experienced drought in recent years, the effects of which are still evident. A drought is a natural phenomenon; however, when vegetation density exceeds the carrying capacity, many trees and shrubs are unable to withstand drought conditions. This leads to plant mortality resulting in the current forest conditions with high levels of fuel loading. Project Location The Boa Prescription Burn Project is located in between the communities of Lytle Creek and Keenbrook in the San Bernardino National Forest, San Bernardino County, California. The project lies on the Lower Lytle Creek Ridge, on an east facing slope, in T2N, R6W, Sections 11, 14, 23, and 24. The solicitation will be available for downloading on this site on or about March 30, 2009. This will be a cascading set-aside. The primary set-aside is for HUB Zone businesses. If a fair and reasonable price is not received, then Service-disabled Veteran-owned Businesses will be considered and if no fair and reasonable prices are received from a Service-disabled Veteran-owned Business, then Small Businesses will be considered.
