• Regrade the existing trail to re-establish proper outslope and drainage, and fill ruts and entrenched areas;
• Construct or reconstruct sections of the trail as needed;
• Repair or restore the trail bed to a minimum of 36-inch width and up to 60-inch width, to meet the State Parks standard for multi-use trails;
• Repair construct or install drainage features, including drain lenses and culverts as required to effect proper drainage along the trail segment; and
• Import aggregate fill to harden the tread surface on some sections of trail tread.
