Document Description
The purpose of the Project is to demolish and replace two existing piers that are dilapidated and structurally failing. The two piers are located on the North side of Donner Lake and are owned and maintained by the Truckee Donner Recreation and Park District (TDRPD) for public use. Piers 1 and 16 will be constructed of steel piles, girders, and joists with the pier platform constructed of a composite material made from recycled wood and plastic (Trex). The piles will be driven into the lakebed using equipment entering the project area from an amphibious barge situated on the lake. Construction will take place during low-water and dry conditions surrounding the piers. The existing piers will be demolished and all material removed for disposal. The existing pilings will be pulled from the lake bed, however if they cannot be pulled, they will be cut at the lake bed surface. All material will be removed and placed on the amphibious barge to be offloaded at the boat ramp and disposed of at a landfill. All temporary impacts to Donner Lake will be restored to pre project conditions.
