Document Description
. Construct a ford for Big Tree Creek across the North Grove Campground roadway.
. Abandon existing four-foot CMP culvert under the road at the west end of the North Grove Campground.
. Elevate the thalweg (lowest points along the length of the creek bed) with clean compacted fill over about 275 feet of its length and stabilize with large woody debris, native vegetation, and/or log weirs.
. Remove one campsite (#32) from within the historic district.
. Widen approximately 30 feet of historic channel to avoid impacts to the historic concrete/rock pump house.
. Preserve a portion of the abandoned, deeply entrenched Big Tree Creek channel for historic interpretation; the remaining 50 feet of channel downstream from the ford's inlet will be filled with clean, compactible fill dirt and re-vegetated.
