Development of a Fuel Management Plan and Associated Field Work - 100 Mile House Natural Resource District

Overview of the Work/Service Required The objective of this project is to develop a Fuel Management Prescription (FMP) for a Landscape Fuel Break (LFB). There are units within the LFB that will be eligible for prescribed burning to aid in fuel mitigation and ecosystem restoration. A Burn Plan (BP) is a requirement for this Contract. A large part of the Fuel Break is occupied by Grassland Benchmark Area (GBA)
The LFB is approximately 880 hectares. It is 300 meters wide and approximately 30 kilometers long. It is adjacent to Meadow Lake Road, which is east of the Stswecem’c (Canoe Creek) First Nations Reserve. There are portions of the LFB that cross Incremental Treaty Areas (ITA) and the proposed Canoe Creek woodlot license. Representatives from Canoe Creek have been included in the initial planning of this LFB.
The work will consist of 1) initial recce, layout, and GPS of treatment units, 2) a Fuel Management Prescription and associated map, and 3) a Burn Plan and associated map.
The “2023 FUEL MANAGEMENT PRESCRIPTION GUIDANCE is an integral part of this contract and must be adhered to when developing the FMP. It is included in this contract as Appendix 1.
There is a presence of feral horses who graze the grasslands and use the road systems as travel corridors. Other features to be aware of and identify in the Plans, include but are not limited to: Rocky Mountain Juniper, badger dens, high value moose wetlands, grouse leks, and possibly Great Basin Spade Foot Toad.
