Based on the fuel hazard ratings acquired during the hazard <br /> assessment,recommendations for the type and method of vegetative fuels reduction treatments <br /> for high fuel hazard areas are listed in this table. <br /> Community Resource, Fuel Hazard Type of Method of Treatment <br /> Structure,or Value at Risk Rating Treatment <br /> Agricultural grazing lands H IGH Mechanical Continue well managed grazing <br /> IF UNMANAGED <br /> Mauka forested lands,parks, HIGH Mechanical, Continue well managed grazing, <br /> and reserves IF UNMANAGED hand labor, weed whip,mow,hand-pull,and <br /> chemical herbicide where appropriate. <br /> Conduct post-fire restoration as <br /> appropriate. <br /> Homes and structures at HIGH Mechanical, Continue properly managed <br /> higher elevation areas hand labor, grazing,weed whip,mow,hand- <br /> chemical,fuels pull,and herbicide where <br /> conversion appropriate.Convert fuels to <br /> landscaping with drought-tolerant, <br /> fire-resistant plants. <br /> 23 <br />
