This document is a collection of Scooper Water Body Coordination Worksheets of Lakes and Reservoirs that are adjacent to Los Padres National Forest. These worksheets are and shall be updated annually by May 1. The information herein will be distributed to Los Padres Emergency Communication Center and to the Southern California Geographic Coordination Center. This document complies with the current Amphibious Water Scooper Aircraft Operations Plan 2016 as outlined in Appendix B, C, and D. https://gacc.nifc.gov/nrcc/dispatch/aviation/ApprovedScooperOpsPlan.pdf Appendix C – Water Body Selection Process A key element in operations is to thoroughly analyze the considerations involved in deciding which bodies of water to use in water scooping operations. Being able to do this analysis prior to the need to use scoopers is essential. Local units are responsible for completing a “Scooper Water Body Coordination Worksheet” (appendix B) for each body of water that may be used for water- scooping operations. The Process Upon receiving a dispatch to a wildfire, the dispatcher will determine the closest two bodies of water to the incident. The primary body of water contacts will be notified if required; if the AWSA has been dispatched to a wildfire, request confirmation of permission for use of the body of water. The final decision regarding safe utilization of a body of water will rest with the Water Scooper Pilot-in-command. The authorities for the body of water used will be notified when scooping operations cease. Standard Nomenclature for Body of Water Notification The following standard arrangement will be used for body of water notification and a callback phone number will be provided to the body of water authority with each request: • This is (first and last name) from the U.S. Forest Service Dispatch Office. • Water Scooper Aircraft Identifier (number goes here) has been dispatched to a fire near (geographic location). • We would like to begin scooping operations at (name of water body goes here) in approximately (number goes here) minutes. • Scooper (number goes here) will be returning to fill at the water body every (number goes here) minutes. Once the water body authority has given approval for scooping, the final decision regarding utilization will rest with the Water Scooper Pilot-in-command. Before beginning operations, the water scooper aircraft may make a low pass over the lake to identify hazards. Follow-up, After Action Review (AAR) by the AWSA Manager and dispatch regarding scooping operations will be accomplished with each body of water authority. Appendix D – Environmental Considerations Why? Firefighter and public safety is still the first priority, but aquatic invasive plants and animals pose a risk to both the environment and to firefighting equipment (some species can clog valves and pumps if equipment is not completely drained or treated). Avoidance and sanitation can prevent the spread of these organisms and help to assure that firefighting equipment remains operational. Forest Service fire managers developed these guidelines to help avoid the spread of aquatic invasive species. These are the operational guidelines; see Technical Guidelines for more information and references. All documents are available on the Region 4 Aquatic Invasive Species website: http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/r4/landmanagement/resourcemanagement/?cid=f sbdev3_016101 USFS contracted AWSA have an Aquatic Invasive Species Mitigation Plan that meets the requirements outlined in the link provided above.
