Project Brush Creek Work Center Construction

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

The goal of this project is to decommission specified existing Plumas National Forest facilities at the Brush Creek Work Center and construct a new work center including utility infrastructure. Several scope items are included as option line items.

2.0 Background

The North Complex Fire began with a series of lightning strikes in August of 2020. On September 8, 2020 the fire spotted across the Middle Fork of the Feather River, entered Butte County and traveled 30 miles in a single day. The communities of Berry Creek and Brush Creek were immediately evacuated. The North Complex Fire burned through the Brush Creek Work Center (BCWC) destroying all but three structures. The Fire rendered the BCWC facility uninhabitable for employees and operations until burned structure debris and contaminated soil were removed. Phase 1 debris clean-up was completed in February 2021. Phase 2 debris and soil removal was completed in December 2021. Burned and hazardous tree removal throughout the compound site was completed in the summer of 2022. A&E was completed for the demolition and new development of the site in 2025.
