THIS PROJECT WILL CONTINUE IMPROVING HYDRAULIC FUNCTIONS IN DEADWOOD CREEK IN THE PORTION OF THE WATERSHED THAT WAS SEVERELY BURNED DURING THE 2018 CARR FIRE. PROJECT TREATMENTS CONSIST OF REMOVAL OF MINING AND LOGGING ROAD FILLS AT STREAM CROSSINGS TO MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL OF STREAM CROSSING FAILURE AND SEDIMENTATION OF ADJACENT STREAM REACHES. THIS WORK WILL FOCUS ON THE LOWER REACHES OF THE MILL GULCH SUB-WATERSHED WITHIN THE 500-ACRE BROWN BEAR MINE PROPERTY. EACH CROSSINGS DIRT FILL WILL BE REPLACED WITH ROCKED FORDS TO PREVENT DIVERSION DOWN THE ROAD(S) DURING LARGE STORMS WHILE MAINTAINING LOW-MAINTENANCE ROAD ACCESS FOR FUTURE RESTORATION, FIRE SUPPRESSION, AND OTHER ACCESS NEEDS.IN ADDITION, REMNANT MINE FILL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE STREAM CHANNEL UPSTREAM OF THE NEWLY INSTALLED MILL GULCH CROSSING ON DEADWOOD ROAD AND THE STREAM CHANNEL WILL BE RECONSTRUCTED TO RESTORE HYDROLOGIC AND GEOMORPHIC FUNCTION TO THIS REACH, AS WELL AS MINIMIZE POTENTIAL EROSION OF THIS FILL IN THE FUTURE.TWO STRATEGIC RIDGES, INCLUDING ONE WITH WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION (WAPA) REGIONAL TRANSMISSION POWER LINES, WILL BE TREATED TO REMOVE DEAD TREES AND BRUSH TO CREATE FUEL BREAKS. THEWOODY RESIDUE WILL BE CHIPPED OR BURNED TO REDUCE FIRE RISK AND SEVERITY AND THE SITES WILL BE REPLANTED WITH NATIVE TREES.PROJECT DELIVERABLES INCLUDE INSTALLATION OF 21 ROAD DRAINAGE UPGRADES ON DEADWOOD ROAD, INCLUDING ENHANCING AND INSTALLING ROLLING DIPS, VENTED FORDS AND ROCK ARMORED FORDS. REMOVAL OF APPROXIMATELY 800-900 YD3 OF MINE FILL AND RECONSTRUCTION OF 100 FEET OF STREAM CHANNEL. REMOVAL AND MULCHING OF DEAD TREES AND BRUSH FROM 30 ACRES AND REPLANTING WITH 12,000 NATIVE CONIFER TREES.
