Facilities.

The rehabilitation work is anticipated to start in early July through November of 2021, and the facility will be closed off to the public during the rehabilitation work. Both the Section 401 and

Note: The water level in Silver Lake will not be lowered during the demolition of the existing boat ramp and the installation/construction of the new boat ramp. Silver Lake’s water levels are constant throughout the year, however the lakes water level decreases slightly during the fall.

2. Boarding Float: The Contractor shall relocate the existing boarding float from its current location to the west side of the newly constructed boat launch ramp.

The offshore concrete anchor blocks are approximately 2000 pounds each (approx. 3.4 feet wide by 3.4 feet long by 2.3 feet high) and are located approximately 250 feet from the shoreline at a depth of approximately 20 feet. The Contractor shall reuse the existing anchoring system, including the offshore concrete anchor blocks.
