The sub grade aggregate (3” minus) is to be placed as backfill behind the riprap and is incidental to item 201501A. Backfill quantities will vary but the end product is to have ~2-4 ft of 3” minus behind the placed riprap. The D-1 aggregate is to be placed on the trail running surface to harden the trail for ATV use.

The majority of trail 229 is 6 to 8 feet in width and will require additional clearing and minor excavation depending on type of equipment used.
