The principle impacts to stabilization and rehabilitation in relation to fire and fuels management result from management that affects the occurrence and spread of wildfire, and management that limits or restricts rehabilitation and stabilization tactics or activity. Under all alternatives, the BLM conducts stabilization and rehabilitation consistent with BLM policy and guidance and in accordance with the Northern Zone FMP. An increase in fire suppression restrictions associated with wildfire management (as described in Section 4.3.1 Wildfire) that increases the potential for wildfire occurrence and spread in the short term may increase the need for stabilization and rehabilitation as more wildfires occur. However, intensive fire suppression that reduces the natural role of fire in the ecosystem may result in large catastrophic wildfires in the long term that require more-intensive stabilization and rehabilitation activities. Restrictions on wildfire suppression are greatest under Alternative B. There are no restrictions or limitations on stabilization and rehabilitation in specific areas under any of the alternatives.
