According to the USFS, Alternative 4 “increases treatments in strategic locations to establish and maintain a reduced fuel profile for future fire suppression, change fire behavior and improve management of natural and prescribed fires.”

In addition to Alternative 4, the USFS should be diligent in treating the areas around all of our watershed areas that were damaged, to protect our river and streams from contamination.

Subject: King Fire Restoration #45952 Support of Alternative Four
Dear Ms. Ferrell,
Please include this email comment in the King Fire Restoration project #45952.
Given the significant importance the forest has to the custom, culture, and economic stability of El Dorado County, we ask that the Federal government choose the strongest alternative possible, in this case Alternative 4, to restore our forest and watershed back to health.
We also ask that you take every action possible to restore all of our damaged watershed to prevent future contamination.
Thank you,
