Attachment 4 - SouthFork_PotMulching_SBS_85x11_08292024.pdf

This document appears to be an attachment showing a map of potential mulching areas related to the South Fork Fire on the Lincoln National Forest. The map identifies high, moderate, and low soil burn severity areas, as well as potential mulching areas and forest ownership.

The related federal contract opportunity is for an emergency seeding and mulching project to restore soil productivity and vegetation coverage in high and moderate soil burn severity areas of the South Fork Fire. The majority of the work is expected to be completed aerially due to the elevation and roadless terrain of the project areas. The project must be completed so that vegetation can begin to grow at the end of the monsoon season and into autumn. The work will involve applying a designated seed mixture and wheat straw mulch on slopes between 20 to 65%. The contracting agency is the USDA Forest Service.
