Central Coast Trail Riders Association Ground Operations

The Central Coast Trail Riders Association Ground Operations project, managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division, focuses on the ongoing maintenance of recreation facilities in San Luis Obispo County. The scope of work includes managing trail tread surfaces and drainage controls, trail brushing, and the upkeep of campground sites, restrooms, fencing, barriers, trail signage, and information boards. Additionally, the project encompasses monitoring activities and public outreach. These operations are specifically located on various off-highway vehicle roads and trails within the LPNF Pozo La Panza and Rockfront OHV areas near Santa Margarita. The project is governed by a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Categorical Exemption 15301 for Existing Facilities, as the activities are limited to maintenance and do not involve the expansion of existing operations or facilities. Administrative oversight is provided by Scott Soares, Senior Environmental Scientist. The project is classified under NAICS code 561730 and was posted as a special notice on January 2, 2026, with the official exemption signed on December 29, 2025.
