BLM Hazardous Fuel Reduction Program. The Folsom office of the Bureau of Land Management announces a new variance program. If a homeowner lives adjacent to a BLM property, they may be eligible for this variance. Basically, if the homeowner has done everything they can to meet PRC 4291, the 100 foot defensible space law, but are up against the mutual property line with BLM, they can apply for this variance and get permission to work on BLM's property to enhance their defensible space. All work on BLM property must be within 100' of the mutual property line. The homeowner would be responsible for any costs. There would be no restrictions on using federal or state funds if, for instance, a homeowner qualified for the Amador Fire Safe Council's low income senior/disabled grant and already had their 4291 compliance around the house. AFSC would then be able to work on the BLM lands within 100' of that mutual property line. The AFSC office has the application form to request the variance, or the homeowner can call BLM directly at 916-985-4474. AFSC will not help the homeowner get the variance, but we can supply the homeowner with the application and contact information.
