  • Return the signed Commitment of Funding Form BEFORE starting work (TCD staff sign first)
  • Work must complete the voluntary recommendations in your Overview; do not include treatments not listed

  • TCD inspects the work and issues an Inspection Report

The plan or design it asks for

The emailed Wildfire Risk Overview from the site visit acts as the plan; reimbursable work must match it.
