Document Description
Replace a failed culvert on the Homestead Horse Trail near Hamilton Barn in Humboldt Redwoods State Park to alleviate the safety hazard and to reopen the section of trail for visitor use. Work will:
Place a temporary culvert at the inboard ditch of Mattole Road to move heavy equipment to the culvert site.
Remove four trees less than 4 inches in diameter at breast height.
Use an excavator to remove 65 cy of crossing fill and the failed culvert (excavation dimensions at the stream crossing will be approximately 20 ft across and 4 ft deep).
Use a bulldozer to remove an additional 30 cy of aggraded sediment, tapering to the natural stream grade about 150 ft upstream of the crossing.
Place a new 4-ft diameter by 20-ft length corrugated steel pipe on the original stream grade.
Use an excavator and/or bulldozer to backfill over the new pipe in one-ft lifts and use a gas powered wacker to compact the soil in succession until the culvert is buried and the original trail elevation is reached.
Use dump truck to transport excess spoils material to an established storage site at the Hamilton Bone Yard.
Build a dry-stack rock headwall at the culvert inlet and oulet to protect crossing fill.
Import base rock, spread, and compact on the final trail surface.
Spread native mulch and revegetate disturbed areas the following winter.
