Project Description: Steep, erosion prone, motorized use trails intersect Forest Road 697 in over 31 different locations. These trails shall be vegetated to reestablish the area in a manner that will protect the soils from erosion. The Government estimates that scarification and seeding trails from Road 697 to line of sight will accomplish this intent. Unauthorized trails are to be scarified and seeded from intersections on Road 697 to the lesser of 400 LF or line of sight.

All trails seeded shall have a treated 4X4 sign post installed at the beginning of the unauthorized trail and its junction with Road 697.

Government-furnished Supplies/Equipment: Onsite trees/vegetation are available for transplanting.

Grass seed will be furnished by the Government.

Work to be Completed:

Scarify trails 2 inches deep, seed, and mulch approximately 5000 SF Install 25 treated 4x4 sign posts mailto:sberon@fs.fed.us mailto:jblackburn@fs.fed.us
