South Tahoe Fuels Treatment Project

The South Tahoe Fuels Treatment Project area is located on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe in El Dorado County, on National Forest System Lands (NFS) within the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU). Elevations of the project area range from 6,230 feet to 7,800 feet. The project would primarily consist of forest thinning and vegetation treatments in areas that have been previously treated within the past 15-25 years to reduce fuels for forest fires and promote healthy and resilient forest stands. Some areas of the project would be treated for the first time. The project area is approximately 3,737 acres of NFS lands located in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) and general forest.
