CalVTP Treatable Landscapes App

<div><span>This web application 
provides a viewing platform for the California Vegetation Treatment Program (CalVTP) Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) web map. The purpose of 
this viewer is to allow the general public to view treatable areas as 
designated in the CalVTP PEIR. This web application will persist as long as the life of the CalVTP PEIR. <br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style='font-size:12.0pt;'>GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF THE CalVTP: TREATABLE LANDSCAPE </span><span style='background-color:transparent; color:rgb(47, 79, 79);'></span><div style='box-sizing:border-box; margin:0px; padding:12px 20px 6px 10px; background:rgb(255, 255, 255);'>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:&quot;Segoe UI Semilight&quot;,sans-serif;'>Appropriate
areas within which to implement vegetation treatments as part of the CalVTP
were identified by dividing the State Responsibility Area (SRA) into vegetation types from the <a href='https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CWHR' target='_self' rel='nofollow ugc'>California Wildlife Habitat Relationship (CWHR)</a> system. Certain vegetation types were
excluded because their wildfire risks are negligible (e.g.,
wet meadow, estuarine). Agricultural vegetation types were also excluded
because this land is generally outside the SRA. </span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:&quot;Segoe UI Semilight&quot;,sans-serif;'>Using
this method, 20.3 million acres within the 31 million-acre SRA were 
identified
that may be appropriate for vegetation treatments as part of the CalVTP.
 Throughout this PEIR, this area is called “treatable landscape” or 
&quot;treatable areas&quot;. <br /></span></p>


<p><span style='font-weight:bold;'><span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:&quot;Segoe UI Semilight&quot;,sans-serif;'>It
 is important to note that the treatable landscape represents areas 
suitable for CalVTP vegetation treatments, but projects will not 
necessarily occur in every location within the treatable landscape. The 
location and geographic extent of projects will be determined based on 
several factors, including environmental constraints and treatment 
objectives.</span></span></p>
