Project Lumsden Road Repair

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

This project will repair two road failures on Lumsden Road (1N10) near Buck Meadows, CA. Work consists of construction of reinforced soil slope structures, re-establishment of the road prism, and resurfacing of the road to match existing surface type, and repairs to adjacent. It also includes ancillary work such as vegetation clearing, construction of drainage systems and erosion control within the repair areas.

2.0 Background

During the Winter and Spring of 2023, the Groveland Ranger District on the Stanislaus National Forest sustained significant damage to multiple roads. Road failures occurred at two sites on 1N10 (Lumsden Road) and were determined to be eligible for Emergency Relief for Federally Owned Roads (ERFO) funding from the Federal Highway Administration

(FHWA).

3.0 Location

This project is located within the Groveland Ranger District of the Stanislaus National Forest, within Tuolumne County, California. From Buck Meadows, CA, travel on Ferretti Road to the junction of Lumsden Road. The damage sites are located at MP 9.17 (37.834570, -120.081418) and MP 10.21 (37.831927, -120.096630) on 1N10 (Lumsden Road). Access is available to the MP 10.21 site via vehicle from the Ferretti Road junction. Access is available to the MP 9.17 site by foot from the MP 10.21 site or by vehicle from Forest Route 1S01, which meets State Highway 120 near Lost Claim Campground. Both routes are currently closed to public vehicles and will require a key for access that can be obtained from the Groveland District Ranger Station in Groveland, CA or the Stanislaus National Forest Supervisor’s Office in Sonora, CA. The 1S01 route is not currently maintained for vehicle travel and may have rockfall and/or downed trees in the roadway.
