UPDATED NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION (MND)
Initial Study-Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed SFPUC Prescribed Burn Project San Mateo County, California
[pdf-embedder url=”https://www.coastsidebuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/IS-MND-SFPUC-signed.pdf” title=”IS MND – SFPUC – signed”]
Project Name: SFPUC Prescribed Burn Project
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code § 21000 et seq.) and Department procedures, notification is hereby given to responsible and trustee agencies, interest groups and the general public, that the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection proposes to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project described below.
Project Location: San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Peninsula Watershed
Project Description: This proposed project intends to broadcast burn approximately 775 acres of grass, shrubs and some tree understory. CAL FIRE will reduce the amount and continuity of woody vegetation within the burn units through manual and mechanical site preparation and broadcast burning. Burn Units were chosen adjacent to roads, trails and existing disk lines to limit the amount of control line that must be constructed. Control lines will be established using wet lines, disk lines, mowing, hand crews or bulldozers. In areas with heavy fuel loading, control lines may offer more protection if they are augmented with mastication to reduce fire intensity adjacent to sensitive resources or control lines.
Location of Documents:
The mitigated negative declaration and related documents are available for review at the CAL FIRE CZU Resource Management Office, 6059 Highway 9, Felton CA 95018.
It may also be found online at https://ceqanet.opr.ca.gov/
This Notice of Intent will be posted at the following locations:
- Belmont Fire Station #17 320 Paul Scannell Dr San Mateo, CA 94402
- Pulgas Water Temple 56 Cañada Rd Redwood City, CA 94062
- Crystal Springs Cross Country Course 2600 Hallmark Dr Belmond, CA 94002
The draft Mitigated Negative Declaration has been extended to a 45-day public review period during which comments may be submitted. The review period begins on February 18, 2021 and has been extended to April 5th, 2021. Comments in regard to the contents of the Mitigated Negative Declaration should be sent to:
