Defensible Space and Home Hardening
This project focused on fuels work on non-federal lands with the goal of creating resilient corridors along NV Energy’s electrical lines on all lands. This project also includes electrical system upgrades across all lands, including federal, in the Tahoe Basin. Together, the fuel management work and electrical infrastructure upgrades minimize wildfire risk as called for in NV Energy’s Natural Disaster Prevention Plan (NDPP).
This project is linked to EIP Project # 02.01.02.0016 which focuses on fuels management along NV Energy’s electrical lines on federal lands managed by the US Forest Service-Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit.
