Implement Defensible Space on Public and Private Parcels and Utility Corridors
The project will create resilient forests adjacent to approximately 28 miles of NV Energy utility infrastructure on the Nevada side of the Tahoe Basin. The project is designed to treat in 3 zones, Zone 1 is the area immediately adjacent to utility infrastructure (15'), Zone 2 is up to 175' from utility infrastructure and Zone 3 can extend up to 1000' feet from the utility infrastructure. The project will thin forest to improve forest health, remove trees that could grow into or fall on power lines and reduce hazardous fuels.
