Document Description
The project is limited to placement and furnishing of approximately 3,000 tons of 18-inch minus quarry stone rock along the waterside slope to address erosion created by the 2023 Emergency Storm Event. The project will be located at 11 sites. The total project length when combining the sites is 5,060 feet or 0.96 miles. New rip rap will

Preparation of the waterside slope may require removal of ruderal weeds. There will be no in-water work and there will be no fill being placed on the waterside.
