The Coastal Critical Infrastructure Defensible Space Project develops and maintains fuel reduction and wildfire resilience zones around critical infrastructure (e.g., water tanks, treatment facilities, utility structures) within the coastal communities of Muir Beach, Stinson Beach, Bolinas, and Inverness. Approximately 21 acres of critical infrastructure defensible space and trailside may be treated under this proposed project. Treatments would occur within up to 200 feet of critical infrastructure and within 10 feet of the trail edge in Muir Beach, which is located within 200 feet of residences. The proposed defensible space treatments around critical infrastructure would increase defensibility and reduce risk of damage to critical infrastructure in the event of a wildfire. The project will also improve safety for firefighting and emergency personnel while engaged in fire suppression during a wildfire in these areas around structures.
