Attachment H is an Environmental Assessment document related to the Lake Fire Sawmill Liebre Reforestation Weed Control solicitation (Solicitation Number: 127EAT25Q0008) issued by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region. The contract seeks services for releasing government seedlings and natural trees within specified release units in the Angeles National Forest, with specific requirements for crew composition, GPS usage, and tree management.

The solicitation details precise operational requirements, including a 16-person crew with a non-working foreman and safety officer, mandatory GPS proficiency, and specific guidelines for tree release. Crews must have English-speaking leadership, demonstrate task proficiency before work commencement, and follow government-defined release unit boundaries. The work involves grubbing all live planted and natural seedlings (excluding current year plantings), with an average tree spacing of 19x19 feet and approximately 119 trees per acre. Government inspectors will be present to oversee operations, select release unit order, and monitor biological and archaeological considerations during the project.
