Fires will not be allowed. Signage: The Town of Buena Vista will assume responsibility for the placement and maintenance of signage. Ten (10) interpretive signs are proposed for the South Main River Park section. The Town of Buena Vista will assume responsibility for the coordination of signage on the BLM property with the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area Managers. Hours of Operation: Hours of operation will be 7 AM to 10 PM daily. These same hours will apply to the BLM property. Illumination: There is no lighting proposed. Trail Tread: The proposed upper trail on the BLM property would be a natural surface trail, ADA accessible, compacted imported trail base, typical aggregate 3/8". Please refer to the top section of the attached trail section (see Attachment # 4 Typical Gravel Fines Trail Section). The lower trail, proposed to exist where there is an existing step above the high-water line from the irrigation ditch, would also be a natural surface trail, with compacted imported trail base, typical aggregate 3/8". A short 30' of concrete trail is needed to assist with drainage (explained later). Storm Water Drainage: The South Main Development's storm water drainage plan is being finalized. The Colorado State Storm Water Construction Permit will be in place prior to construction, as well as utilizing best management practices required by the Corps of Engineers 404 Permit (see Attachment #5, Swift and Associates Contour Map and Biglow Land Survey, August 24, 2004). Soils Testing: Soils testing, by Mountain Engineering and Testing, Inc., was performed throughout the South Main Development project area. There were two test pits done near the border of the BLM parcel and there was nothing that would be of concern for the proposed improvements. Test results are available upon request. Natural Vegetation Preservation Plan: During the period of proposed improvements, all vegetation will be avoided and preserved whenever possible. Any removed vegetation will be replaced on a 1: 1 ratio with native vegetation and grasses. Due to the existing conditions of property and the nature of the proposed improvements, very limited vegetation damage or removal is anticipated. Construction equipment access will be limited to minimize vegetation and soil impacts. Wildlife Habitats: The Town of Buena Vista will assume responsibility to coordinate and consult with the Division of Wildlife (DOW) regarding fish and other biological/wildlife Issues.
