The Skyline Regional Park and White Tank Mountain Range bordering the Verrado residential communities are at high risk of wildfire, which requires a reduction and removal of wildfire fuel from the targeted area to reduce risk to humans and property. Buckeye proposes to remove fire fuel from the eastern slopes of the White Tank Mountain Range abutting the Verrado community of residences in Buckeye, Arizona. Buckeye will retain the services of an outside contractor to execute the project. The contractor will manually remove the vegetation and dispose of the vegetation at an offsite location. Step one – Procure the services of a contractor. The timeframe for procurement is estimated at 3 months. Step two - Treat the area with herbicide. The timeframe is estimated at 12 months. Step three – Vegetation Removal. Use chainsaws to remove larger vegetation and hand tools to remove smaller vegetation. The timeframe is estimated at 9 months. Based upon the available budget, it is anticipated that the budget may allow for up to Project Subapplication 8 Mitigation plan information 300 hours of fire fuel removal. Buckeye and the contractor will assess the area to determine the best use of the 300 hours of fire fuel removal. Design Plan - During the project area assessment, Buckeye will identify the appropriate areas for removal of fire fuel within the project area that abuts the protected area. Please provide any additional comments (optional). Due to winter rains and summer droughts, vegetation that sprouts in the winter becomes highly combustible dead fire fuel that poses a risk of wildfire to the White Tank Mountain Range, the many residential structures and humans that abut the White Tank Mountain Range, and the Skyline Regional Park hikers and campers within the White Tank Mountain Range. The multi-jurisdictional plan identifies the White Tank Mountain Range as at-risk of wildfire. Buckeye proposes to remove fire fuel to mitigate the risk of wildfire.

The White Tank Mountain Range abuts the Verrado residential neighborhood, with a population of about 38,500. Due to winter and spring rains and summer droughts, vegetation that sprouts in the winter becomes highly combustible dead fire fuel that poses a risk of wildfire to the White Tank Mountain Range, to the many residential structures and humans that abut the White Tank Mountain Range, and to the Skyline Regional Park hikers, bikers, campers, and wildlife within the White Tank Mountain Range. Rain and mild Project Subapplication 10 Scope of work temperatures during the winter and spring seasons produce significant grasses and scrub throughout the White Tank Mountain. Summer drought and consistently high temperatures, ranging from 110 to 116 degrees, create wildfire fuel. This project intends to reduce and remove wildfire fuel in the eastern portion of the White Tank Mountain Range, which abuts the Verrado residential communities. The City of Buckeye is a participant in the Maricopa County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (MCCWPP). The MCCWPP has identified the eastern portion of the Skyline Regional Park and White Tank Mountain Range bordering the Verrado residential communities as a high risk of wildfire.

Yes No Population affected 31% Detail/descriptio n of stated percentage The Verrado residential neighborhood has an estimated population of approximately 38,500. The White Tank Mountain Regional Park directly abuts this residential neighborhood. Verrado is an 8,800-acre community that could include over 14,000 homes. The community is expected to be completed between 2035 and 2040 with a population of up to 310,000. The community has focused on high-end, custom-built homes. The design is centered on bringing neighbors together rather than the standard 'mind your own business' model. There are also some very notable features of the homes that are built there to maintain a pleasing visual appeal. Some of the model homes opted to have garages placed toward the back of the home to provide a closer-knit feeling.

Project Subapplication 16 Scope of work Describe how the project is technically feasible and will be effective in reducing the risk by reducing or eliminating damage to property and/or loss of life in the project area. Please include engineering design parameters and references to the following: preliminary schematic or engineering drawings/design; applicable building codes; engineering practices and/or best practices; level of protection (e.g., life safety, 100-yr flood protection with freeboard, 100-yr wind design, etc.): Buckeye will engage the services of an outside contractor to execute the removal of the fire fuel. It is estimated that the project will take 300 hours based upon the available budget. Personnel costs are estimated as follows: It is anticipated that the contractor will utilize a project manager at $120 per hour for 300 hours for a cost of $36,000. Two field supervisors at $85 per hour for 300 hours will cost $51,000. Eight field workers at $80 per hour for 300 hours will cost $192,000. One administrative staff at $70 per hour for 300 hours will cost $21,000. Total personnel costs are $300,000. Equipment rental costs are estimated at $153,000. Equipment needed is anticipated to be: Four brush cutters at $50 per hour for 300 hours is $60,000. Six chainsaws at $30 per hour for 300 hours is $54,000. Ten sets of safety gear at $300 per set is $3,000. Transportation and miscellaneous equipment rental is $36,000. Total equipment rental cost is $153,000. Supplies in the form of herbicides, PPE, and treated area markers will cost $67,000. Monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of the mitigation efforts is estimated to cost $150,000. The total cost of the project is estimated at $670,000. The contractor will be required to use "best practices" regarding fire fuel removal and vegetation management. The City of Buckeye will provide an in-kind match of $167,500 in the form of personnel to provide supervisory oversight, labor, and monitoring and evaluation. Who will manage and complete the mitigation activity? The Grant Program Manager and the Grant Program Administrator for the City of Buckeye will manage the grant to ensure that all project milestones are met in a timely manner, as well as ensure that all required reports are submitted before due or on time. The contractor hired by the City of Buckeye will utilize a Project Manager and two Field Supervisors to manage the mitigation project to its completion. The City of Buckeye's Parks, Trails, and Cemetery Manager and in-house staff will oversee and aid the contractor to ensure the fire fuel removal project is completed correctly and on time, as well as provide an update to the Grant Program Manager and Grant Program Administrator of performance activities to aid in grant reportings. The Parks, Trails, and Cemetery Manager will also manage the ongoing future fire fuel and vegetation maintenance of the park once the initial removal project is complete. Project Subapplication 17 Scope of work Will the project address the hazards identified and what risks will remain from all hazards after project implementation (residual risk)? Yes, the project will address the hazards identified by removing the wildfire fuel from the area adjacent to the residential community. Future risks that will remain from all hazards after project implementation are future rains that may create new vegetation growth which could turn into fire fuel, therefore the importance of regularly scheduled ongoing fire fuel maintenance and vegetation management will be conducted by the City of Buckeye and annually budgeted in the Buckeye General Fund budget, estimated at $200,000 per annum. When will the mitigation activity take place? Upon award of this grant, the project will be completed within 24 months. Explain why this project is the best alternative. What alternatives were considered to address the risk and why was the proposed activity considered the best alternative? The alternatives are as follows: 1. Do nothing 2. Controlled burns 3. Fire Fuel removal and vegetation management Doing nothing will not solve the problem. If no action is taken, then a risk of wildfire within the White Tank Mountain Range still exists and wildfire presents a significant risk to injury, death, and property damage. Controlled burns can get out of control and therefore cause unintended damage. Controlled burns also pollute the atmosphere to levels exceeding air quality standards that protect human and wildlife health. Controlled burns can create smoke which may cause visibility issues detrimental to vehicular traffic and public safety. Controlled burns can be costly, time-intensive, and endanger lives. They also require NEPA compliance, burn plan prep, burn site prep, post-burn mop up and monitoring, and smoke management. The final alternative of fire fuel removal and vegetation management avoids all of the above risks while accomplishing the intended goal. Project Subapplication 18 Scope of work Please identify the entity that will perform any long- term maintenance and provide a maintenance schedule and cost information. The subapplicant or owner of the area to be mitigated is responsible for maintenance (including costs of long-term care) after the project is completed? The City of Buckeye, after completion of the project, will provide regularly scheduled on-going fire fuel maintenance from its General Fund. Maintenance will include clearing and removing fire fuel, as well as herbicide treatment. Maintenance will be provided as needed throughout the year at an estimated cost of $200,000 per annum. Buckeye will budget for two full-time staff members dedicated to ongoing maintenance. Maintenance will include clearing dead brush, incorporating fire-resistant landscape where possible, and creating fire breaks. The budget will also include the required supplies and equipment. Annual maintenance will also include thinning dense vegetation, removing fallen trees and debris, promoting emergency preparedness and community involvement, and specialized staff training.

The City of Buckeye participates with the White Tank Mountain Conservancy to manage the White Tank Mountain Regional Park. This includes public education, conservation of plant life and wildlife, best practices of use of the Regional Park, wildfire mitigation, and safety. Discuss how anticipated future conditions are addressed by this project. With the removal of wildfire fuels and continued ongoing wildfire fuels management, the risk of wildfire to the park and the risk of injury, death, and damage to the park, humans, wildlife, and residential structures is greatly reduced. Additional comments (optional) Attachments Project Subapplication 46 Location Project Location Provide a detailed description of the proposed project's location. The project is located in the White Tank Mountain Regional Park in the City of Buckeye. The White Tank Mountain Range is a vegetated desert mountain area that accommodates hiking, biking, camping, picnicking, and other leisure activities. The City of Buckeye is a participant in the Maricopa County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (MCCWPP). Goals of MCCWPP are: • Improve fire prevention and suppression, emphasizing firefighter and public safety • Reduce hazardous fuels, emphasizing public and private property protection • Restore forest, rangeland, and riparian health • Promote community involvement and provide for community protection • Recommend measures to reduce structural ignitability in the WUI • Encourage economic development in the communities from vegetative treatments • Promote development of wildfire emergency evacuation and communication plans • Integrate use of the MCCWPP with surrounding community and agency fire management plans. The MCCWPP has identified the eastern portion of the Skyline Regional Park and White Tank Mountain Range bordering the Verrado residential communities as a high risk of wildfire. This project is consistent with the MCCWPP and the identified needs to reduce and remove wildfire fuel from the targeted area to reduce risk to humans and property. Latitude (e.g. -80.430101, should be between - 90 to +90, but not 0) 33.508895 Longitude (e.g. 100.430101, should be between -180 to +180, but not 0) -112.560833 Attachments Aerial Photos & Maps.pdf Project Subapplication 47 Project Benefiting Area Provide a detailed description of the proposed project's benefiting area There are two benefitted areas within this project. One is the White Tank Mountain Regional Park located in the City of Buckeye. The White Tank Mountain is a vegetated desert mountain area which accommodates hiking, biking, camping, picnicking, and other leisure activities. The other benefited area is the abutting Verrado residential neighborhood, which includes a population of approximately 38,500 residents within over 13,000 homes. Attachments Project Subapplication 48 Project Impact Area Provide a detailed description of the proposed project's impact area There are two impacted areas within this project. One is the White Tank Mountain Regional Park located in the City of Buckeye. The White Tank Mountain is a vegetated desert mountain area that accommodates hiking, biking, camping, picnicking, and other leisure activities. The other impacted area is the abutting Verrado residential neighborhood, which includes a population of approximately 38,500 residents within over 13,000 homes. Due to winter and spring rains and summer droughts, vegetation that sprouts in the winter and spring becomes highly combustible dead fire fuel that poses a risk of wildfire to the White Tank Mountain Range, to the many residential structures and humans that abut the White Tank Mountain Range, and to the Skyline Regional Park hikers and campers within the White Tank Mountain Range. Rain and mild temperatures during the winter and spring seasons produce significant grasses and scrub throughout the White Tank Mountain area. Summer drought and consistent temperatures ranging from 110 to 116 degrees create wildfire fuel. This project intends to reduce and remove wildfire fuel from the eastern portion of the White Tank Mountain Range that abuts the Verrado residential communities. As recently as 2020, the White Tank Mountain suffered a 128-acre wildfire, which was contained and fortunately had a limited impact on the surrounding community by way of smoke pollution. In July 1993, a caterpillar blade (heavy-duty equipment) hit against rocks, caused sparks, and started a fire. The fire quickly spread through the dried brush and eventually burned 3,000 acres after 400 firefighters; six tankers and three helicopters of air supported the dropped water and retardant on the fire. (https://www.wtmconservancy.org/about-us/local- history/) (https://www.wtmconservancy.org/after-the- white-tank-fire-collecting-data-in-the-sonoran-desert/). Arizona consistently experiences 1,000 to 3,000 wildfires per year. Just 45 miles from Buckeye in 2013, the Yarnell Hill Fire burned 8,500 acres, destroyed 129 structures, and took the lives of 19 firefighters. In 2021 in Bagdad, AZ., even closer to Buckeye, the Spur Fire destroyed 20 structures. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Arizona_wildfires).
