Document Description
Brown's Mountain Road is predominantly a single lane, native/rock surface road that runs approximately 11 miles from Highway 299 to Old Lewiston Road. The road bisects three tributary watersheds to the Trinity River, Little Browns Creek, Trinity House Gulch and Lime Kiln Gulch. Approximately 90% of the road system crosses Sierra Pacific Industries and Bureau of Land Management lands.
The project consists of: (1) upgrading a Class II stream crossing at post mile 4.22 and (2) removing approximately 100 cubic yards of sediment fan currently positioned just above the inlet of a Class I crossing at Trinity House Gulch, post mile 4.66. This work will be performed within the county road right-of-way or jurisdiction.
