    FS Drilling BMPs.pdf
    The Forest Service Standard Best Management Practices (BMPs), provided by Noel Ludwig from the San Bernardino National Forest, outline critical guidelines for environmental protection during drilling activities. The document emphasizes using non-toxic drilling fluids, minimal disturbance practices for stream diversions, and effective sediment control measures. Key practices include the proper storage of hazardous materials away from riparian conservation areas (RCAs), immediate cleanup of spills as per the Forest Hazardous Materials Response Plan, and ensuring that drilling wastes are contained and not discharged into surface waters. It mandates that non-hazardous fluids must be filtered through vegetation or geotextile systems before discharge. In instances of sediment escape, prompt notification to forest and state authorities is required. Additionally, measures for temporarily stockpiling disturbed soils are specified, including covering and surrounding with protective devices. The guidelines aim to safeguard water quality and ecosystem health during drilling operations, aligning with broader environmental regulations and project oversight procedures. Such regulations are essential for federal and state RFP compliance, ensuring responsible stewardship of natural resources.

    Water Drafting.pdf
    The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service issued a directive concerning emergency exemptions for water drafting streamflow criteria amid the critical drought conditions and anticipated fire season in the Pacific Southwest Region. The established Best Management Practices (BMPs) outline restrictions for water drafting to protect aquatic habitats, specifying maximum drafting rates based on streamflow conditions for both fish-bearing and non-fish-bearing streams. In light of the imminent fire threats, emergency exceptions are authorized to allow firefighters to draw water from any source to protect human lives when standard flow criteria are not met. Forest Supervisors are encouraged to identify water sources that comply with flow criteria for use during the fire season, while routine non-emergency water drafting must continue to observe BMP standards. This directive underscores the balance between environmental conservation and immediate public safety needs during emergencies.
