Comments from Ventana Wilderness Alliance: showing up as overlapping with Zen Center parcel (private land). Issues with LPNF ownership comparing national owner layer and recreation map background. Need to include disclaimer to clarity that private land is not included in the project areaBear Trap AreaArea is within WUI, so the buffers are created by the property line and roadsKeep all proposed treatment areas as isPiney Creek AreaCampgrounds and some residences: General support for maintaining proposed treatments as isArea has existing NEPA (Monterey DFPZ) signed early to mid-2000’s with refresh in 2014/2015. Prescribed burning only in the original effort. Used to do treatments for wildlife and also WUI.Areas between planned fuel breaks appear to be part of the old treatment polygons. LPNF is considering including these interior areas as Forest Health Treatment Units or Zones. Need to look at existing NEPA polygons and refine this area.

Road is not passable.Exclude portion of fuelbreak from where trail intersects from the east, extending south to the Escondido Campground.Reliz Canyon AreaRemove L shape (Stand PL T20S R6E)Initial input from FAM indicated to keep L-shape, but in discussion, it was decided that we remove: Steep, long linear fuelbreak that has tough access. VWA: Also questioned the value of the buffers in Section 1 to the east of the L shape. District agrees. RemoveKeep treatments around the communication site. Pretty extensive fuel breaks maintained by CalFire (not USFS) along roads in southern portion. The little areas border the Reliz units should be kept as they connect portions of CalFire fuelbreaks. Rudy to confirm if CalFire has current work in that areaKeep all small/isolated portions of stands in the southern area as they connect to road fuelbreaks that are potentially maintained by local fire districts.Sierra HillKeep for mowing or other treatments.
