Snipes-Pershing Ravine Eagle Scout Project

Snipes-Pershing Ravine Eagle Scout Project

The project will dismantle and remove an abandoned car that rolled into the Snipes-Pershing Ravine many years ago at Folsom Lake State Recreation Area. to remove this potential hazard from the park. Work will: • Complete minor pruning as needed for clearance along approved routes and remove a non-native ornamental shrub growing from the vehicle; • · Raise the vehicle and place a tarp beneath it, or use any additional measures as needed, to contain any potential hazardous fluids and have spill kits and fire suppression equipment available onsite; • Use mechanical cutting tools to cut the car into smaller parts; • Carry spoils out on foot or use a skid to drag them out using existing volunteer trails; • Use carts and/or UTVs to transport larger pieces on system trails to the staging area; • Use a 4WD truck and trailer to transport the material off-site and legally disposed of at a Vehicle Disposal Recycling facility; and • Use local cobble and rocks to restore the banks of the seasonal creek to their natural state and use on-site native vegetation to conceal soil disturbance.
