Staging of equipment will be on the paved parking lot and at existing access point. Staff will remove all vegetation and silt deposits allowing free water movement throughout the channel area utilizing the skid steer with standard bucket and/or scrapper blade. The equipment may need to enter the overflow channel via crane at staging sites. Staff will use non-mechanized hand tools for vegetation removal betwee the end of concrete shute and culverts underneatth local access road (0.06 acre). Vegetation will be taken from this work area by 5-gallon buckets or suspended excavator bucket. Material will be removed by an excavator and placed in a dump truck to be taken to the spoil site. The removed spoils will be disposed of properly at a green waste facility.
