Document Description
Using only state funds, Caltrans will remove slide material that has fallen from existing roads cuts and blocked SIS Route 96 at PM 23.6 and PM 24.9. The loose, rocky material that has been made unstable due to recent heavy rains will be scaled or pushed down the hill from the top at both locations using an excavator. Some controlled blasting may be necessary of safety reasons. At one or both locations. The roadside ditch along the tow of the unstable slope will be cleaned and deepened to provide containment for any falling rock. Access to the tops of the slides will be along existing firebreak trails, with only minor brush trimming required. The material will be properly disposed of at the "Bunker Hill" disposal site on USFS property nearby. This location is listed on the Caltrans approved disposal site database. Temporary storm water BMP's will be used to minimize sediment transport from the operations. This activity will not result in a significant effect upon the environment.
