Tahoe CWPPs allow agencies to keep wildland Lake Tahoe Resource fires small while allowing land 19-FP-AEU-0022 Basin CWPP El Dorado* $74,931 Conservation management and fire agencies to Update District continue implementing fuels reduction and prescribed fire projects needed for a more resilient community and landscape. This grant builds off those efforts to update this Community Wildfire Protection Plan for communities at risk of wildfire in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The project would implement fuels treatments along roads and within hardwood and conifer forests within the Texas Hill community located south of Placerville. The treatments would Texas Hill enhance emergency access on local El Dorado Community roads, reduce changes of ignitions along Resource 19-FP-AEU-0023 Wildfire El Dorado $626,475 roads and create shaded fuel breaks that Conservation Protection would serve to change fire behavior, District Strategy reduce the potential for catastrophic crown fires and provide staging areas for fire fighters in the event that a fire occurs. Reduced likelihood of wildfire, particularly catastrophic fire will have the benefit of avoiding or minimizing GHG. 2 | P a g e CAL FIRE California Climate Investments (CCI) Program - FY19-20 Fire Prevention Grant Applications Project Tracking Requested Applicant Project Name County Project Description Number Funds SMUD’s proposed project would strengthen the level of fire protection along a critical utility transmission line that runs through a fire prone area of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Since 1916 large fires have occurred in this area with a recurrence intervals of 25 years in and around Placerville, Camino, and Pollock Sacramento Hazard Fuels Pines. The 2014 King Fire burned an 19-FP-AEU-0024 Municipal Reduction - El El Dorado* $6,762,500 area of 97,000 acres, including a portion Utility District Dorado County of the transmission line. The estimated total amount of fuel reduction removed is equal to 84,829+235,527 or 320,356 BDT. The estimated net GHG benefits or reduction for the Project TIZ of 3,455 acres is computed as 32,235+60,621 or 92,856 MTCO2e across an assumed 40 year period. 3 | P a g e CAL FIRE California Climate Investments (CCI) Program - FY19-20 Fire Prevention Grant Applications Project Tracking Requested Applicant Project Name County Project Description Number Funds SMUD’s proposed project would significantly reduce the probability of a fire starting in Sacramento County associated with dangerous trees falling from private property outside the SMUD's distribution/transmission line ROW into the ROW and taking down a conductor and sparking a fire.

The program Challenge Incorporated succeeds at overcoming perception obstacles to responsible and sustainable forest management that frequently arise in our state’s population, which is not well connected to active forest management. Investing in forest management education ultimately leads to healthier forests and reduced emissions. 5 | P a g e CAL FIRE California Climate Investments (CCI) Program - FY19-20 Fire Prevention Grant Applications Project Tracking Requested Applicant Project Name County Project Description Number Funds The project would implement fuels treatments along strategic roads and within priority landscape settings within hardwood and conifer forests within the Kelsey community located north of Placerville in El Dorado County.

This program will require a Wildland Pioneer Fire position to be created that would be a Educator and 19-FP-AEU-0082 Protection El Dorado $229,330 Wildland Educator and Inspector. This Inspector District position would conduct defensible space program inspections and would serve as a resource for the community and educate the public on recent wildland laws that are applicable to them in a high fire danger zone. This position would also educate the citizens of our service area on what proper defensible space is. 7 | P a g e CAL FIRE California Climate Investments (CCI) Program - FY19-20 Fire Prevention Grant Applications Project Tracking Requested Applicant Project Name County Project Description Number Funds The project will lower the risk of a catastrophic fire by reducing the fuel load along a critical evacuation route. This will permit fire fighters to respond safely and quickly to minimize the size, severity and impact of any fire in and around the WUI which includes 136 habitable structures. Risk to critical Alpine Hot Springs infrastructure including the Markleeville 19-FP-AEU-1018 Biomass Alpine* $341,532 Road Corridor Water Company's facilities, Liberty Collaborative Utilities' power line, and the Markleeville Fire Station will be reduced. Thus greenhouse gas emissions will be limited by reducing the amount of burning materials. Moreover, the elimination of ladder fuels and other green material permits the remaining trees to thrive and function as carbon sinks. 8 | P a g e CAL FIRE California Climate Investments (CCI) Program - FY19-20 Fire Prevention Grant Applications Project Tracking Requested Applicant Project Name County Project Description Number Funds Reducing wildfire risk by reducing fuel loads along the main access road and by establishing adjacent shaded fuel breaks in CWPP priority areas, designed Mosquito Fire to block routes by which wildfires are Safe Council Fuel Reduction likely to arrive.
