01-2025 - Hazardous Fuel Reduction - Fire Safe on the Divide

This Project is being implemented to clear hazardous vegetation around District infrastructure with
the intent to reduce wildfire risks for the District and surrounding properties. This project is funded
through a Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Grant the District was granted in 2023.
The Project totals 230 acres and are located on various parcels in El Dorado County near the
communities of Georgetown, Garden Valley, Greenwood and Cool. The parcels are accessed via
California Highway 193, Wentworth Springs Road, Reservoir Road, and various surface streets
within the community of Auburn Lake Trails. Specific parcels include parcels owned and operated
by the District as wells as parcels containing District infrastructure not owned by the District. Specific
right-of-entry agreements are being executed for non-District property.
Phase I of the Project will entail a total of up to 67.4 acres located on District property and phase II
of the Project will entail up to 162.6 acres. Phase II of project work locations are located on private
property. The total acres will depend on executed right-of-entry agreements. Treatment areas on a
project parcel may be expanded or reduced based on Right of Entry agreement distribution and
onsite conditions.
