The BLM will issue a DNA, FONSI, and DR for the Santa Rosa Integrated Fuels Reduction project
Winnemucca, Nev.— Humboldt River Field Office in cooperation with the US Wildland Fire Service will issue a Determination of NEPA Adequacy, Finding of No Significant Impact, and Decision Record documents for the Santa Rosa Integrated Fuels Reduction project.
“This will be the first local project with the newly formed US Wildland Fire Service,” said Humboldt River Field Office Manager, John Mitchell.
The project developers propose to reduce hazardous fuels, implement strategic fuel breaks to increase firefighter safety, and restore wildlife habitat along the western base of the Santa Rosa Mountains in Humboldt County, Nevada.
The proposed project area encompasses 111,600 acres and targeted grazing, mechanical, chemical, and other treatment methods would be utilized over a ten-year period to achieve results.
Project documents and decision records can be viewed at the BLM National NEPA Register.
