Document Description
Remove and replace the existing chain link fence that surrounds and protects the historic Mother Orange Tree and complete facility upgrades to comply with the ADA adjacent to the District Office at Lake Oroville State Recreation Area. Work will install a new 6 ft. high, wrought iron fence square in design with rounded corners; remove the existing concrete slab located west southwest of the tree and the concrete walk that leads to the existing asphalt; construct a new 452 square foot concrete slab attached to an existing connecting walkway leading to the nearby restroom and a new 1,500 square foot parking area, and 55 linear foot concrete curb will be constructed on the south side of the orange tree; install a new historical marker plaque on the new concrete slab; remodel the existing restroom to meet ADA standards by removing and widening stalls and adding fixtures; and install four granite bollards that were from the original Mother Orange site next to the submerged Feather River in the landscaped area. Minor excavation (12 inches or less) will be necessary for the installation of the walkway, bollards, historic marker and curb. In the event that previously undocumented cultural resources are encountered during project construction (including, but not limited to dark soil containing shellfish, bone, flaked stone, groundstone, or deposits of historic trash), work within the immediate vicinity of the find will be temporarily halted or diverted until a DPR-qualified cultural resource specialist has evaluated the find and implemented appropriate treatment and disposition of the artifact(s). Project protects a historic resource, enhances visitor services, and upgrades facilities to comply with ADA.
