context: See AR 9398 ("Because of the environmental dynamics and long-term use and strategic nature of fuelbreaks, a maintenance and reburn schedule is necessary to keep fuel loading and canopy closure at required standards. Indefinite maintenance of the fuel breaks to ensure low fuel conditions is essential.") As fuel break maintenance is necessary and foreseeable, the effects of such maintenance must be addressed within the EIS.
