|of wildfire in the assessment area. |

| |Establish a fuelbreak between Cedar Grove and the bordering forested areas of Wildwood Forest. (5) Establish a permanent hazardous fuel reduction |

| |break at least 30’ wide around Costal Plains Industrial Park. (6) Provide emergency access at Cadet Circle with only one way in/out; connect to |

| |improved jeep trail with emergency-use gate. (7) Control kudzu and cogongrass on steep slopes behind homes in The Cedars subdivision (eradication |
