Environmental Assessment for Boulder County Wildfire Mitigation Project, Boulder County, Colorado (October 2012)

Boulder County, through the Colorado Division of Emergency Management, has requested financial assistance from the FEMA to implement mitigation measures to reduce the wildfire hazard in Boulder County. The assistance would be provided under FEMA’s Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program. The purpose of the PDM Program is to substantially reduce the risk of future damage, hardship, loss, or suffering in communities from natural disasters, such as wildfire, by providing the affected communities with cost-share funds for mitigation projects. The purpose of the Proposed Action is to reduce the wildfire hazard in four wildland-urban interface areas of Boulder County by reducing the vegetative fuels in the areas. Fuel reduction also reduces the severity of wildfires, increases the ability to control wildfires, and minimizes potential damage to property, public safety, and the natural environment.
