Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Guerin Creek Mitigation Project will restore an existing pine forest and freshwater wetlands to the ground surface elevations needed to reestablish a tidal saltmarsh, but will not include any marsh plantings. The project will include the harvesting of all industrially planted timber, and removal of stumps. Existing pine tree planting beds and furrows within the project limits will be leveled and the area graded to an elevation below mean high water. The total disturbed area of the site is 8.5 acres, including 7.9 acres of restored salt marsh, and 0.6 acres for the construction entrance. There will be approximately 1728 cubic yards of on-site borrow for the temporary tidal control berms. The berm areas will be leveled and any excess soil will be spread throughout the project site without blocking tidal flows upon completion of construction. Temporary berms with stone outfall structures will be used to control tidal flow on to the site during land disturbing activities. The stone outfall structures are needed to provide adequate drainage of the site after each rain event. They will function similar to a rock check dam by trapping sediments within the interior of the site. The temporary berms will be removed at the completion of construction to allow natural tidal flow in to the site. These measures are needed to reduce the amount of sediment discharged from the site during construction. During land disturbing activities, and until completion of construction, all sediment and erosion control measures will be installed and maintained by the contractor.
