DIVISION 1 SHORT FORM GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 – GENERAL

ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.1 Background: At the end of Ridge Road, within the park’s Mainland Unit, is an abandoned logging road. The location is approximately 3 miles from the park’s visitor center at Little Sand Bay. Culverts installed to channel streamflow under the road have since failed and are impacting the natural character and flow of these small streams, contributing to streambed scouring, increased erosion, and run-off into Lake Superior. The objective of this project is to restore streambanks at three locations along this old logging road on the Mainland Unit at the end of Ridge Road (T51N R4W, Section 6). This will require removal of the three failed culverts, reshaping the streambanks, removal of the logging roadbed, where needed, and restoration (see attached map and photos).

1.2 Work Covered by the Contract Documents:

A. Project Location:

Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, 415 Washington Ave, Bayfield, WI 54814. From the intersection of County K and Little Sand Bay Road (51 N, 4 W, Section 4) in Bayfield County travel north on Little Sand Bay Road 1 mile. Turn left on Ridge Road approximately 1.5 miles and park. Walk on the logging road to the following coordinates for ravines/culverts:

Ravine 3: 46.93197, -90.91302 Ravine 2: 46.93246, -90.91245 Ravine 1: 46.93291, -90.91214

B. Work consists of:

Removal of three failed culverts, reshaping the streambanks and removal of the logging roadbed, where needed, to restore the streambed and banks, and restoration (biodegradable erosion control matting/staking; and seeding (see attached map and photos).

Culverts are approximately 2 feet in diameter and 30 to 50 feet in length. The old logging road section between Culverts 1 and 2 will need to be cleared of downed trees to allow for access of an excavator. This equipment is needed to dig out culverts and reshape the streambanks. Less clearing will be needed between Culvert 2 and 3 because the work needed at Culvert 3 can be done by much smaller equipment. A temporary work pad along the logging road for the excavator will be needed to access Culvert 2.

Specifics by culvert location:

Culvert 3 - the culvert at this location is fairly exposed at the bottom of a steep ravine and there isn't a need for streambank restoration. This culvert will be removed through hand digging, cutting the pipe into manageable sections, and manual removal using a come-along or lifted with the assistance of small equipment.

Culvert's 1 and 2 - the old logging road/trail will be knocked down and enough soil removed to expose and remove the failed culvert. This will be followed by reshaping to restore the streambank and restoration and removal of logging roadbed, where needed. The final step will be restoration to include seeding with non-invasive annual rye grass and installation of coconut erosion control matting (biodegradable).

Page | 4

Silt fencing will be used during and after the project to minimize erosion and run-off until the streambanks have been stabilized.

Specifics by work stage:

The work will occur in stages that sequence restoration from west to east, or Culvert 3, then 2, then 1 but access is from the east and this sequence should be followed:

1. Placement of a temporary support structure over Ravine #1 to allow dump trucks to follow in behind excavator, beginning removal work on Ravine #2.

2. Complete minimal grubbing along logging road to allow machinery access to Ravine 1.

Complete some clearing of young balsam fir along logging road to allow machinery access to Ravine #2.

3. Remove remnant culvert by hand from Ravine #3.

4. Excavate portion of logging road to create a “pad” from which the excavator could work from to remove fill and culvert in Ravine #2.

5. Remove Ravine #2 material. Complete reshaping of Ravine #2 and replace fill taken to create the pad.

6. Seed with annual ryegrass at a rate of 10 lbs/acre.

7. Place and stake coconut erosion control matting (biodegradable).

8. Move equipment to Ravine 1 and remove temporary support structure.

9. Repeat removal, re-sloping and revegetation process in Ravine 1 that occurred in Ravine

#2.

NOTE: Native material should be used to reshape bank. Old roadbed material should be removed. It can also be used to create temporary pad.

Mitigation measures include:

• Heavy equipment will be required to be cleaned prior to accessing the site to prevent exotic plant invasions and follow-up monitoring will occur.

• Erosion control silt fencing will be temporarily installed to minimize erosion and run-off.

• Equipment staging area will be designated and restored.

• Vegetation restoration will include seeding of a non-invasive annual rye and installation of coconut erosion control matting (biodegradable) for soil stabilization.

C. All work will be performed under a single contract.

Period of performance: Project work shall be completed 90 calendar days after issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP).
