| The Memorandum of Understanding for the CRMP intends to focus on wildland
and wildland-urban intermix fuel load reduction/healthy forest ecosystem and
fire safe communities in order to promote public safety, watershed stability,
and high quality waters in the American River and its tributaries through
cooperation, information and education. Long term forest health and catastropohic wildland fires are of critical concern as are the following
problems: a) erosion and sedimentation; b) habitat quality, habitat disruption
and depletion of biodiversity; c) the intermix of rural homes and resultant
economic fire hazards; d) the need to maintain the area's economic stability; e)
the need to maintain the stability of the watershed; and f) the critical need
for high quality waters throughout the American River watershed to serve
multiple and highly varied downstream needs.
|
| 1) Develop a watershed approach to fuels reduction and fuel management, 2)
Provide interagency support to agencies and private landowners desiring to
reduce fuel load and make resource improvements, 3) Develop demonstration sites
and hold workshops for residents' public education and awareness, 4) Reduce risk
of catastrophic fire, 5) Enhance watershed and habitat values, 6) Identify
desired future watershed conditions, 7) Manage and improve water quality, 8)
Reduce the risk of erosion and sedimentation, 9) Protect human lives and
improved property and 10) Sustain long term economic viability.
