The objective of this agreement is for the WSRCD to collect data, review surveys, consult with other agencies and conduct a literature review sufficient to produce a written Strategic Fuels Reduction Plan for the low elevation main corridor in the Upper Clear Creek Watershed. The goals and objectives include: Recognize and protect ecological and landscape values and reduce fire associated impacts to soils and other environmental values. Reduce the rate of spread and resistance to control of wildlife with emphasis on ridge lines, internal routes of travel and modification of large blocks of volatile fuels. Reduce potential fire intensity and duration to below levels likely to kill large trees or damage other highly valued landscape features. Minimize private property losses and provide for human safety. Minimize the risk of fire starts. Minimize the potential of wildfire burning into the watershed. Develop and maintain effective fire-safe standards and practices around structures, residential areas, and in the vicinity of roads to reduce fire risk and provide effective protection from wildland fire. Prevent structure or yard fires from escaping to surrounding areas. All initial attack suppression forces opportunity to prevent the spread of fire starts. Identify and coordinate agency and landowner fire prevention and control responsibilities and capabilities. Foster and maintain multi-agency and landowner roles and responsibilities in the implementation and maintenance of this plan.
