In addition to this, accessible trails shall be constructed from parking areas at each location to the gangway for each pier. A total of approximately 500 feet of trails will be constructed. Trail construction shall consist of excavating 6 inches of topsoil for a 48 inch wide trail, compacting the trail bed, placing 3/8 inch minus gravel and compacting the material. Brush clearing on all trails will be incidental. All trails must closely adhere to both American Disability Act (ADA) and Forest Service Trail Accessibility Guideline (FSTAG) regulations. All trail centerlines will be staked by Forest Service officials prior to construction. Five (5) precast concrete wheel stops shall be installed at various locations along with accessible parking signs. One (1) loading zone sign will be installed in addition to the other signs.
