Amador County - Property owners who share boundaries with Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-administered public lands may now apply for permits to clear up to 100 feet of flammable vegetation from public lands adjacent to their private property. The BLM Mother Lode Field Office will issue free "hazardous fuels reduction variance permits" valid for public lands in their service area which includes Calaveras and Amador Counties. Permit applications will be considered individually and permits will be specifically written for each site. Each will contain stipulations about the amount of area that can be cleared and the methods that can be used. Because the work will be completed on public land, BLM will inspect each area prior to issuing permits. The BLM will complete any needed surveys for threatened and endangered plants and animals, cultural resources or other natural resources that require special attention or protection.
It is important for anyone interested to contact the BLM as
soon as possible to get the permit process started. Permit
applications received during fire season may take longer to
process because agency personnel may be assigned to fires
and not immediately available for site inspections and clearances. For more information and an application, visit the BLM online. A TSPN TV Staff Report This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
