Document Description
Repair and replace failing, dilapidated trail structures. New structures will be installed in the same size and style as original structures.
Coastal Trail: At the trailhead, replace interlocking wooden steps and replace an 8-foot footbridge approximately ½ mile along the trail from the trailhead;
Trestle Loop: Replace a 22-foot footbridge on Trestle Loop Trail near the Mill Creek Campground;
Saddler Skyline Trail: Replace a 17-foot footbridge approximately 500 feet from the junction with Trestle Loop Trail.
Contain ground disturbance to footprint and soil depth of existing structures when new structures are installed; ground disturbance will not be greater than 6 inches deep. A ramp made from quarry rock will be constructed on the soil surface leading up to each bridge where the bridge deck cannot be installed flush with the ground. Employ Best Management Practices (BMPs) during all work, to prevent erosion and discharge of sediment. All ground disturbing work will be monitored at the discretion of a DPR-qualified Archaeologist. If work uncovers evidence of previous Native American or Euro American activity all work within 30' (10 meters) of the find shall be temporarily suspended until a DPR-qualified Archaeologist has evaluated the find.
