I was asked a couple of days ago if I would be interested in being the implementation leader for the Burned Area Emergency Rehab (BAER) for the Twitchell Canyon fire. I went into the office to discuss the possibility today. Spent most of the morning reviewing and recommending a few changes to a contract and started into the report made to request the money to do the rehab. The changed contract has been submitted for contracting and I have agreed to take the lead in implementation. Included in this package is the BAER for the Coffee Pot fire on the Manti-LaSal that I was on a few weeks ago as part of the team managing it. It is only two small areas totaling 35 acres there.
It really made me feel good to have them ask me to help with this. It is a project funded for about $5.5 million that will mostly be done in the next two or three months. Lots of things are going to be going on (mostly monitoring flying seed and mulch onto the burned area) for me when the contract gets awarded.
Looking forward to the challenge and to the work. It will be nice to know that the fires have been properly put to bed too. AND...It's nice to be the one that makes that call.

Always good to keep busy.
Guess that's the price I have to pay for arm chair quaterbacking.
