982.01 Work. This work consists of removing brush, logs, and down trees from the clearing limits.

Requirements

982.02 Clearing Out. Cut and remove all logs that extend across or into the clearing limits. The portions of cut logs that remain on the upper side of the trail shall be either firmly anchored to prevent sliding or rolling onto the trail way or moved across the trail to the lower side and scattered outside the clearing limits.

Fell all trees over 4 inches in diameter that are leaning into the clearing limits and that are within 10 feet above the trail bed. Stump height of leaning trees that are cut outside the clearing limits shall not exceed one (1) foot as measured on the uphill side of the stump. Disposal for the leaning trees described above will be the same as for down logs and trees.

Remove roots and stumps from trees within the trail way that have been uprooted.

Rerouting the trail around windfalls, uprooted trees, and other obstacles will not be permitted. Ramp or reroute sections of the trail tread that have been damaged by uprooted stumps as necessary to provide safe passage on the trail.

Remove sticks or wood chunks exceeding 2 inches in diameter and 1 foot in length that have fallen on to the trail bed.

Scatter the down trees on the lower side of the trail way outside the clearing limits. Do not place such materials in stream channels, drainage ways, ditches, culvert catch basins, or other locations where they would prevent the free flow of water away from the trail bed.

Measurement and Payment

See Section G- 1 of the contract.

Section 984 – Loose Rock Removal

984.01 Work. This work consists of removal and disposal of loose rock from the trail tread.

Requirements

984.02 General. Remove loose rocks that are larger than two (2) inches at their greatest dimension from the trail bed. Remove any loose rock in drainage dips or ditches that may impede water flow off the trail.

Loose rocks are rocks that are not firmly embedded in the trail and can be removed by hand. Where the trail bed consists predominantly of rock with little or no soil present, remove all loose rock larger than 3 inches.

Fill any holes remaining from rock removal with suitable material and compact. If the rock removed is not needed for other items of maintenance work, scatter the rock by side casting to the lower side of trail way beyond the clearing limits, and distribute rock to ensure that no blockage of drainage or creation of a windrow occurs. Do not dispose of waste materials in watercourses.

Section 991 – Drainage Maintenance

991.01 Work. This work consists of maintaining drainage structures as specified herein.

Requirements

991.02 General. Where trail drainage facilities have been plugged and the water has been diverted from the intended channel, remove the debris causing the diversion and return the drainage to the channel.

Divert water off and away from the trail bed. If washing or ponding of water has been or is occurring, dig a shallow ditch sloped 2 percent to 5 percent to the downstream side of the trail and 3 inches minimum deep and one (1) foot minimum wide across the trail at the point where water enters the trail.

Clean ditches to permit the free flow of water into culverts and away from the trail.

Scatter all unusable or unneeded material that is cleared from the drainage structures 3 feet or more beyond and below the trail or drainage facility and out of watercourses.

991.03 Culverts. Remove debris and soil from catch basins and inlet and outlet ditches and inside culverts to permit the unobstructed flow of water into, through, and away from the culvert. Replace any missing or loose rocks or logs in culvert headwalls.

Fit replacement rocks for rock culverts so that they have a firm bearing on adjacent and underlying rocks.

Place rocks snugly and fill voids with small rocks to prevent material from sifting into the drain. Fill and compact with suitable material all disturbed areas in the trail tread over or adjacent to rock culverts.

991.04 Water bars. Clean the upgrade side of all existing waterbars and maintain them as SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. Remove material accumulated against rubber belting water bars. Use and compact suitable material removed from the upgrade side of all water bars to bring the trail tread flush with the top of those water bars on the downgrade side. Remove all debris from the leadoff area of all water bars that restricts the free flow of water away from the trail.

Firmly embed replacement rocks for rock water bars into the trail bed and fit the rocks together. Make the tops of the rocks even, with no sharp points. Peel native replacement logs before using them. Anchor stakes tightly in the ground without splits and nail tightly to the log.

991.05 Drainage Dips. Clean deposited material and restore drainage dips as SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. Remove all debris from the leadoff area of dips that restricts the free flow of water away from the trail. Use suitable material obtained by cleaning dips for fill on the downgrade side, removing rock more than 3 inches at its greatest dimension. Compact all material placed in the trail tread.
