Wildfire Sample Clauses
The Wildfire clause defines the rights and responsibilities of parties in the event that a wildfire impacts the subject matter of the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines procedures for notification, suspension of obligations, or possible termination if a wildfire causes damage to property, disrupts operations, or creates safety hazards. For example, it may specify that work must cease if a wildfire threatens the project site, or that parties are not liable for delays caused by such events. The core function of this clause is to allocate risk and provide clear guidance on how to proceed when wildfires interfere with contractual performance, thereby reducing uncertainty and potential disputes.

Wildfire. Wildfire is presumed to be a low frequency event on enrolled lands, because such properties will primarily be riparian habitats or agricultural lands. However, more frequent wildfire in adjacent uplands and mountains may indirectly affect Arctic grayling. For example, mountain fires followed by heavy precipitation may cause excessive sediment input from headwater streams, causing fine sediment deposition at Arctic grayling spawning sites adjacent to enrolled lands. In the event of a large-scale fire in the watershed or an intense localized fire in a sub-watershed containing Arctic grayling, the Agencies will assess whether debris flows pose a significant risk for Arctic grayling in specific river reaches or tributaries, and if rescue operations or any other protective actions are warranted to forestall potential extirpation of those population units. FWP and USFWS will collaborate on any rescue efforts, and Participating Landowners will provide necessary access to their property to assist these efforts. Floods may displace Arctic grayling of all ages, causing injury, death, or stranding them in inhospitable habitats (e.g., irrigation ditches, depressions in agricultural fields). Late spring floods also can scour spawning beds, causing mortality to developing Arctic grayling embryos. Floods also may compromise the effectiveness of structures installed or upgraded under the Agreement’s conservation measures. In the event of a 5-year flood event (i.e., magnitude of a flood with a 5-year occurrence interval), the Agencies and Participating Landowners shall conduct an assessment of all physical structures installed or maintained as a provision of this Agreement to ensure they are in proper working order. Sediment movement or the sheer force of the flood event may affect physical structures operated under the Agreement. Such structures to be inspected following a 5-year flood event may include, but are not limited to, diversion structures, fish ladders, fish screens, irrigation ditches, and riparian zone fences. Damaged or destroyed structures will be noted and a prioritization list developed to implement repairs as soon as possible.
Wildfire. Lessee shall at all times take reasonable precautions to prevent wildfires from starting or spreading on the Property, and shall comply with Applicable Laws with respect to fire prevention and control. If Lessee or its employees, contractors, or licensees cause a wildfire that necessitates suppression action, Lessee shall reimburse the State of Utah and local fire authorities for the costs of any necessary fire suppression activities incurred as a result of the wildfire.
Wildfire. Mortality 27. Any wildfire planning and post-wildfire actions on federal and non-federal lands in occupied habitat will include input from the conservation team.

On federal lands, traffic will be limited to designated routes and routes will be considered for closure, limited use, or re-routing as appropriate to gain compliance and protect designated conservation areas, this will not include any routes claimed by Uintah County as public roads.
Wildfire. An unplanned, unwanted wildland fire, including unauthorized human-caused fires, escaped wildland fire use events, escaped prescribed fire projects, and all other wildland fires where the objective is to put the fire out.
Wildfire. The proposed project would not result in any significant adverse impacts to wildfire. No mitigation is required.
Wildfire. Since the last MJHMP planning effort, California has seen some of the most destructive fire seasons in history. The 2018 wildfire season was one of deadliest and most destructive wildfire season on record in California, with a total of over 7,500 fires burning an area of over 1,670,000 acres. Then the 2020 California wildfire season was characterized by a record-setting year of wildfires that burned across the state of California. At the end of 2020, nearly 10,000 fires had burned over 4.2 million acres, more than 4% of the state's roughly 100 million acres of land, making 2020 the largest wildfire season recorded in California's modem history. In Tehama County, from 2018 through the 2022 fire seasons there have
Wildfire. The Project site is not within or proximate to a designated high fire hazard area. The finding of no impact will be documented in the Initial Study.
Wildfire. The EIR/EIS will include a section evaluating the potential effects related to wildfire using the questions included in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G checklist. The analysis will consider the wildfire severity zones and policies in the Public Health and Safety Element of the Town’s General Plan. It is expected that the applicant team will prepare a defensible space and wildfire evacuation plan, as well as information on any project elements supporting a shelter in place option. This applicant provided information will be reviewed for this analysis. Ascent will consult with the Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District as part of the analysis. CEQA does not require the analysis of socioeconomics and environmental justice; therefore, this section would be prepared to satisfy the Forest Service’s obligation to evaluate this issue under NEPA. Project implementation has the potential to affect not only the physical environment but also the socioeconomic environment, due to the public use of private and National Forest System lands in the project area and the economies and societies of adjacent communities. Issues such as Town/County tax revenue, tourism, and visitor spending will be addressed. SE Group will conduct input-output modeling to address direct and indirect effects. Implementation of the project could potentially result in significant impacts to the above resource areas. When taken together with the effects of past projects, other current projects, and probable future projects, the project’s contribution to the overall cumulative effect of all these activities could be considerable. Ascent will develop cumulative impact analyses, consistent with the requirements of both CEQA and NEPA, for each environmental issue area following the format agreed to with the completion of Task 8.
Wildfire. The request for a dispute hearing must:
Wildfire. This section will be prepared pursuant to the recent CEQA Guidelines update, which amended the checklist in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines to include questions related to fire hazard impacts for projects located on lands classified as state responsibility areas, as defined in section 4102, and on lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, as defined in subdivision (i) of section 51177 of the Government Code.” [Pub. Resources Code, § 21083.01 (emphasis added)]. We will review fire hazard severity mapping prepared by CalFire to determine where very high fire hazard severity zones exist on the project site or nearby. This section will also evaluate prevailing wind data, if available from CARB or other sources, site topography, and vegetation mapping, relative to the land use schematic in the Specific Plan to determine the potential for wildfire risk on the project. Secondary impacts related to wildfire, such as toxic smoke and mudslides on burnt slopes will be assessed. Mitigation measures will be provided to reduce potentially significant impacts, if applicable. Mitigation may include measure prohibiting construction involving welding, grinding, or other activities generating sparks or flames on red flag or high fire danger days. Because this is an EIR and no Initial Study is being prepared, the EIR will include a section describing the issues for which a less than significant impact is anticipated. This section will include sufficient evidence to support less than significant impact findings for the following CEQA Appendix G Checklist: Forestry Resources and Mineral Resources.
