BAER Tracks – Rim Fire BAER Accomplishment Report
Groveland, CA...The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) implementation team received funding to begin emergency stabilization. Emergency response actions include: hazard tree mitigation; improve and stormproof the roads to restore drainage; repair and construct rolling dips (drivable dip that removes water off the road); stabilize and repair trails; install public warning signs, gates, and barricades for public safety; and protect cultural and natural resources. While these treatments will help to reduce post-fire effects, it must be recognized that not all effects can be mitigated, and potential threats to life and property remain during runoff events...
The projects underway are listed below.
Roads/Trails:
Restoring drainage - 38% complete:
· Clean the ditches and culverts,
· Pull floatable debris from uphill of the culverts,
· Water bars – helps with the drainage of water, and
· Grading the road.
Rolling dips (repair and construct) - 12% complete
Trails:
· Erosion control measure - 46% complete
· Trail stabilization - 83% complete
· Hazard tree mitigation - 49% complete
· Install route markers - 100% complete
· Install public warning signs, gates, and barricades
Protection/Safety:
· Hazard tree mitigation - 83% complete along priority roads.
· Cultural resource protection: erosion control measures - 31% complete and hazard tree mitigation is 100% complete.
