Document Description
The proposed project involves temporary excavation of nine trenches varying in length from 20 yards to a maximum of 300 yards. Depths of trenches and test pits will be to bedrock (estimated two to four feet). Trench width will be approximately three feet. Trenches and test pits will be constructed using a rubber tired backhoe. Topsoil will be stockpiled separately. Trenches will be open for approximately two to three weeks during the day and covered with plywood sheets at night. The excavation sites will be fenced to prevent livestock from entering the excavated area. All CAL OSHA safety guidelines regarding trench safety will be adhered to. After two to three weeks of geologic investigations the trenches will be refilled and compacted using a rubber tired backhoe. The stockpiled topsoil will be dressed over the backfilled trenches. Fences and plywood covers will be removed and the surface elevation restored to pre-excavation levels. These geologic investigations will take place from October to December, 2001.
