Lake Cavanaugh resident outlines Redi Rock wall plan to repair failing roadway; details on construction and erosion control

During the public comment period on Feb. 3, a Lake Cavanaugh resident described details of a proposed North Shore restoration project to repair a failing roadway at Lake Cavanaugh and construct a Redi Rock retaining wall.

Bridal Humble (also identified as Tweety), of Lake Cavanaugh, read portions of the project description and said the proposal is based on work by a civil-site contractor and includes manpower, supervision and equipment necessary to perform tasks. "Description: repair of failing roadway at Lake Cavanaugh and construction of Redi Rock Wall," Humble said. The proposal includes erosion control measures and is based on dry-weather conditions.

Humble described construction steps: removal of brush and visible vegetation within clearing limits, excavation to bedrock or to the bottom of wall construction as required, stockpiling materials on-site for backfill, and using asphalt concrete ground in place for roadway access gravel as needed. "The site will be excavated to the bedrock or to the bottom of the wall construction as required. Materials will be stockpiled in the roadway to be used as backfill of the wall," she said.

Humble's presentation was interrupted by connection problems and the meeting host paused and resumed other commentors; no formal county action was taken during the Feb. 3 public comment period on this project.

The resident said the contractor would provide archaeological monitoring where work occurs, and that the proposal assumes dry-weather construction; commissioners and staff did not take action at the meeting beyond offering to let the record show the comments and to follow up as needed.
