Aid for wildfire victims

Recent wildfires have caused economic hardships on some Utah ranchers and livestock owners. To help those affected, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is requesting funding to help with wildfire recovery. Those affected in Tooele County are encouraged to sign-up for program benefits. Affected landowners may apply for an incentive payment of $11/per acre as a one-time only payment to defer grazing on lands within fire recovery zones. Grazing must be deferred from the date of the fire through Oct. 1, 2008. An individual or business may apply for a maximum of 2,500 acres. To be considered for this funding, affected landowners must apply for assistance during a two-week sign-up, starting Aug. 1 and ending Aug. 14. Landowners can sign-up at the USDA NRCS Service Center at 185 North Main Street in downtown Tooele. This sign-up applies to eligible private and tribal lands within designated recovery zones for wildfires extinguished on or before Aug. 5. Any applications that fall outside of these specified boundaries or that are submitted after the Aug. 14 deadline will be automatically considered for the 2008 available funds set aside for a special fire recovery pool.
