Document Description
The project of roof replacements and structure improvements to Calfire facilities. Structure improvements include installation of a carport with walls and a door for protected parking of one Cal Fire apparatus and modification of the existing apparatus bay to a wider, single door rather than two narrower ones. Limited excavation (less than 100 cubic feet) will occur in an existing parking lot. Modification of the existing apparatus bay involves the removal of the building façade and doors, installation of new structural members of steel or wood, installation of a new door, and replacement of log siding material with same or similar siding material to match the style and décor of the existing structures. Roof replacements include the removal of existing metal roof, repair of roof deck and underlayment as necessary, and installation of new metal roofing to match the décor of the existing buildings. Hard surfaces will be saw cut and material removed to allow footing excavation. Disturbed sites will be reestablished to original visual appeal. The entire facility will be re-sealed and repainted including the parking areas for vehicles and apparatus. All sidewalks, drainage ways and driveways will be repaired to match the original material. All work will occur during regular business hours. Site maintenance and repairs may require additional cutting, trenching, repair and replacement within the confines of this analysis for a period of five years from the filing of this notice.
