Establish Camp Host Site in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park

Establish a camp host site at combination building #3 at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park to provide night security, wood sales, and interpretive support in the campground. Work entails adding utility and septic connections and upgrading an existing site to American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Work will: -Pave parking area with asphalt, the table site will be compacted 3/4- minus crushed shale and the tent site will be compacted native soil. -Pave fire ring with interlocking pavers to allow for water drainage and expansion by tree roots. -Border the entire campsite with 4"x 6" pressure treated lumber set into the ground with the wood 1/2-inch just above grade level. No part of the campsite has a slope steeper than 3% which allows for drainage. -Limit utility and septic trenching to preexisting trenches. Four-inch ABS plastic will connect to the 4,400-gallon septic tank by a direct line from the right rear corner of the host pad to a knockout in the solid side of the tank. A 2 1/2-foot wide section of the concrete sidewalk will be removed to reopent the existing utility trench to provide water and electricity. Water service will come from the alleyway. The pipe in the alley way will be 1" galvanized, and will be 1" PVC as it sweeps below ground. It will teminate in a 3/4-inch hosebib at the utility post. Trench will be three feet deep, and two feet wide. Electrical service will connect to the sub panel of the adjacent room and is GFCI protected. -Noise from large equipment will occur outside of the breeding season for marbled murrelets (3/24 - 9/15). -A professional archaeologist and Tolowa representative will monitor all ground disturbing activities associated with the proposed project. In the highly unlikely event that previously undocumented archaeological resources are encountered within the project area, work in that location shall be temporarily suspended until an archaeologist who meets the Secretary of Interior Standards has evaluated the find and tribal representatives have been consulted.
