Document Description
Note: EA / FONSI
The Proposed Action comprises improvement of an existing border road and construction of a new access road to the top of BP Hill RVSS tower. The border road improvements would occur from near Border Monument 224 to near Border Monument 225. The border road would be improved to an all-weather surface road (1.4 miles long) approximately 20 feet wide with 2-foot shoulders and would include any necessary drainage structures (i.e., culverts, low-water crossing, or bridge). A drag road would also be constructed along the north side of the all-weather surface. Staging areas would be located approximately every 0.3 mile within the construction corridor. In addition to the 1.4 miles of road improvement, a new access road (approximately 0.2 mile) leading to the BP Hill RVSS tower from the improved border road would be constructed.
