“Small to mid-size equipment such as mini-excavators and track haulers may be used to pioneer trail up to STA 17+63 (base of first metal stair) but will be prohibited above and below this point in any areas where operation would result in undue impacts to soils, vegetation, and drainage. Operation on wet or otherwise unsuitable areas may require rerouting around these areas, or require additional aggregate depth for Type AS trail over which equipment is run, at no additional cost to the government. Rehabilitate all erosion, vegetative damage or other damage resulting from equipment operation as approved. Equipment use over the recently constructed aggregate surface Raven Trail (Phases 1 and 1b) is limited to mobilization of equipment in and out of project area. No haul of material is permited.

If equipment is being proposed for use, submit for approval a motorized equipment plan outlining types of equipment, locations for their use, and proposed mitigations for wet or unsuitable areas if necessary. This plan will be submitted and approved in 1000-foot segments in conjunction with Trail Segment Construction meetings as work progresses (see Section 912.05). Do not commence operations until the plan is approved. Use of helicopters in the project area is allowed.”
