Specifications include, but are not limited to: This Project, as designed, does not require dewatering to complete construction. The proposed activities involve felling trees, moving them into appropriate position, and anchoring them. Felling and movement of trees/logs is done with equipment that is kept out of the wetted channel so the only impact of construction is the temporary movement of the logs themselves. Anchoring is generally done out of the channel (via soil anchors out of the water) but some anchoring is done within the channel (pinning logs together or to boulders). This is done with hand tools by crews on foot. There may be some trenching into the creek banks at sites 1 and 6, but this will occur well above ordinary high water or bankfull. Because the proposed activities do not involve equipment directly working in the channel, nor any earthmoving activities, diversion or dewatering is not needed. A creek crossing is required for project implementation. Equipment needs to mobilize from the left bank to the right bank: equipment will access the project site from a driveway pull out on Highway 84 and travel to the creek on an existing dirt access road. The location of the creek crossing is the approximate location of an old ford crossing; equipment will then traverse old road and access alignments and a 2016 wood project at site, as well as new access points to the creek...
