The Schedule of Proposed Actions (SOPA) contains a list of proposed
actions for Eldorado National Forest that will soon begin or are currently undergoing environmental
analysis and documentation. It provides information so that you can become
aware of and indicate your interest in specific proposals. We encourage your
early and ongoing involvement in any proposals of interest to you.
The Brown Rock Project has been cancelled due to impacts from the 2021 Caldor Fire. Original proposal was designed to reduce fuels, improve forest health, enhance watershed conditions, and re-establish a sustainable landscape on up to 3,000 acres.
The Project will reduce the risk of uncharacteristic or catastrophic wildfires, restore severely burned areas, and repair fire damaged infrastructure. Phase 1 is under an emergency authority (EAD); maximum extent is subject to the objections process.
The project would replace approximately 2.2 miles (11,402 linear feet) of existing steel water line used to supply Kirkwood Mountain Resort with water for on-mountain snowmaking from Caples Lake to Chair 1.
Enhance fire resilience through hazardous fuel reduction or reforestation on approximately 1,400 acres. Create a 4.5-mile shaded fuel break along Mosquito Road. Salvage fire-damaged and hazardous trees. Conduct controlled burns. Road repair.
Proposal to designate over-snow vehicle (OSV) areas and trails for public OSV use, consistent with Subpart C of the Travel Management Regulations, and identify OSV trails where grooming will occur.
Trail maintenance work using hand tools and a mini excavator to trim overgrown vegetation, conduct trail tread work, construct drainages, and minor trail realignment where necessary due to extensive erosion.
The Grizzly Flats Community Services District Proposes a temporary access road along 09N47 to access and repair the existing North Canyon Creek diversion and associated infrastructure which was damaged by the Caldor Fire in 2021.
This project aims to restore ecosystem health and resilience to wildfire, insect and disease, and drought through forest thinning, fuels reduction and a suite of watershed improvement actions.
Requesting Fuels & Forest Health EAD for restoration activities: fuels mgmt, harvest & disposal of fire killed trees, reforestation, repair of damaged roads infrastructure. Landscape-level prescribed fire includes mechanical txts & weed txts.
