Document Description
Work will consist of removing legacy tires installed many years ago to control erosion in two seasonal gullies and stabilizing the areas. A 1,300-foot stretch of the southern most, 1,800 foot long gully will be regraded to a 1% sloped grassed waterway, intermittently interrupted by a 15% drop, 50' long with a 7.66' drop in elevation. Rock riprap will be underlain with woven filter fabric 6-8 z. per square yard or 6" of gravel placed subgrade.
Tires will be removed from the northern most, 300" gully with minimum disturbance. Existing trees will be left intact, if possible. Where possible, disturbed or eroded banks will be laid back to 2:1, mulched, and seeded with an erosion control seed blend. Disturbed areas on steeper slopes, erosive areas, and the bottom of the channel will be treated with geotextile fabric. A 200-foot long, five strand barbed wire livestock exclusion fence will be installed surrounding the treatment area.
