SITE SPECIFICS:

The area known as the Sarah’s Creek Campground covers over 100 acres. It is located in the Northeastern corner of Rabun County. From Clayton, go east on Warwoman Road (Ga. Hwy. 28) for 11.6 miles. Turn left (North) on paved Forest Service Road 157. This road turns to gravel and the camping area is about 2 miles on the left. There are two sites within this campground that will be covered within the Scope of Work.

On your right a road will bear off and cross a small low-water ford and dead end in a loop. The existing toilet building is located on your left before the loop is reached and can be seen from the ford.

Organic material from clearing of mid-story and understory vegetation should remain stockpiled on site per the COR’s direction and be chipped and applied as mulch if possible in those areas marked Ds1. Wood waste should be applied at a depth of 2” to 3” or 6 to 9 ton/acre.

14. All disturbed areas shall be left with a neat appropriate temporary protective cover.
