Abstract
Announces decision to implement prescribed fire treatment on approximately 2500 acres and noncommercial mechanical thinning on about 600 acres within the wildland-urban interface in the Upper Ochoco Creek Watershed. Aims to reduce hazardous fuel loadings and to improve tree vigor by low density underburning, burning of hand piles, noncommercial thinning to remove small trees to a specified density using hand tools, and hand piling or lopping resultant slash before burning.
