Dear Mr. Shauers:
This letter will approve Variance Request No. 25 from Kenneth J. Lord, received on October 2, 1997 (dated September 12, 1997), to revise the ANF Fire Protection Plan to allow for work within 15 feet of native vegetation in areas where a Forest Service approved fire retardant has been sprayed on the ROW. This approval is subject to the following conditions:
The fire retardant shall be applied in accordance with the manufacturer specifications.
The fire retardant shall not contain any dyes that would make it visibly distinguishable from the vegetation.
Prior to the commencement of motorized work activities within the ROW during Level III fire restrictions, fire retardant shall be applied.
This decision is subject to administrative review under 36 CFR 251. Requests for review must comply with that section and be filed with the Forest Supervisor within 45 days.
