5) Mountain pine beetle killed stands <br />• Soil Erodibility: The resolution of these maps tends to limit their applicability, but <br />they provide a good indication of regional differences in the tendency for a soil to <br />erode easily. <br />• Other Physical Factors: <br />1) Elevation: some elevations are at higher risk than others. Higher sub- <br />alpine forests have had much less of a tendency to burn. The extent <br />of the Hayman fire was at least in part due to the higher potential for <br />forest fires in the range of elevations, about 6800 to 9000 feet, in <br />which most of the burn occurred. <br />2) Aspect: Drier, southern facing slopes are more conducive to risk of <br />severe burning. <br />3) Canopy cover: denser stands will have a higher risk for high-intensity <br />and severe burning. <br />4) Fire behavior (crown fire versus ground fire) <br />• Eligibility: In addition to the other prioritization factors listed above, proposals <br />including the following features should be viewed more favorably. <br />1) Collaboration: proposals with a cross-spectrum of agencies, private <br />organizations and private industry <br />2) Multi faceted approach: proposals that benefit life, property and <br />environment, in addition to water supply. <br />3) Cost sharing: e.g., leveraging of funds to create a more efficient <br />and/or effective project. <br />P:ISSP7112 CWCBIDocumentslDraftActionPlanlHandout_formatlActionPlan_v02.doc <br />Page 6 of 6
