[Document Type] EA [Document Number] DOE/EA-1329 [Title] Wildfire Reduction and Forest Health Improvement Program [Decision] FONSI: August 2000 FONSI: May 2001 FONSI: October 2004 [Summary] 
This EA evaluated the implementation of a Wildfire Hazard Reduction and Forest Health Improvement Program at the LANL. The Proposed Action (the No Burn Alternative) did not propose the use of fire as a treatment measure. The ecosystem-based management program would initially be composed of a series of individual, small-scale projects using mechanical and manual thinning methods that would be conducted over about 10 years with ongoing, long-term maintenance projects conducted thereafter. An estimated 35 percent, approximately 10,000 ac (4,000 ha), of the LANL were to be treated under this program using forest thinning and the construction of access roads and fuel breaks as treatment measures. Wood materials generated by the treatment measures were to be either donated or salvaged; waste wood materials (slash) were to be primarily disposed of through chipping and used as mulch on-site.
