Summary:

The 2013 RIM Fire started on August 17, 2013. By the time the fire was contained on October 24th, 2013, the fire had burned over 257,000 acres. The fire burned from the Groveland Ranger District on the Stanislaus National Forest (approximately 133,070 acres) onto the Mi-Wok Ranger District of the Stanislaus National Forest (approximately 41,350 acres) with the rest of acres falling within private and/or other government jurisdictions. The Forest Service completed the Stanislaus National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) on October 28, 1991 (USDA 1991). The Stanislaus National Forest "Forest Plan Direction" presents the current Forest Plan management direction, based on the original Forest Plan as amended (USDA 2010a). The Rim Fire Recovery (Rim Recovery) project is designed to fulfill the management direction specified in the Forest Plan Direction. Fuel and vegetation management activities are designed to comply with the standards and guidelines as described in the SNFPA FSEIS and ROD (USDA 2004a, b). The purpose of this analysis is to quantify management effects to determine if the Proposed Action meets current standards and guidelines as listed in the guiding documents above.
