There may be occasional, unforeseen, incidental area maintenance required by the Contractor's equipment on an hourly basis such as fill or smooth ruts in the road while performing the area maintenance, or smoothing areas around restrooms. Also required is an end of the year clean out of the Fine Settling Pond to be accomplished with an Excavator as described in the attached Description and Specifications. PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: The maintenance work to be performed is located at the Emerald Creek Garnet Area. The proposed project is located in 281 Gulch in the Emerald Creek drainage south of Fernwood, Idaho, in Latah County, T42N, R1E, Section 8.
