The U.S. Forest Service, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest servicing Region 6 has a requirement to complete shoreline erosion control treatments at two sites on the north shoreline of Lake Chelan in Chelan County, Washington. Construction consists of furnishing and installing special rock embankment, large woody debris, erosion control products as well as other incidental items in a variety of configurations called treatments at locations staked on the ground by the Government prior to commencing work. This work is being done to fulfill the requirements of an Article (1) Forest Service Erosion Control Plan to the license issued by the United States of America Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to Public Utility District No. 1 of Chelan County (Chelan PUD) for Lake Chelan Hydroelectric Project No. 637-041 located on the Chelan River near the city of Chelan, Washington. The proposed Lake Chelan Shoreline Erosion Control Phase 5 work is located at two sites on the north shoreline of Lake Chelan on the Lake Chelan Ranger District of the Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forest. The primary access to this site is by boat or barge. The Lady of the Lake private commercial ferry does not have scheduled stops at Lucerne Campground or at Lucerne Guard Station. The boat ramp nearest the project sites is located at Twentyfive Mile Creek State Park. Other boat ramps are available at Shrine Beach, Lake Chelan State Park, Chelan Riverwalk Park, Old Mill Park and Lake Shore Marina. Commercial barge service is available on Lake Chelan from Tom Courtney Tug & Barge, 1222 W. Woodin Ave, Chelan, WA 98816 phone
+1 (555) 000-0000. The availability of boat ramps varies depending on the water level of Lake Chelan. This project requires work on Lake Chelan at two time periods. The first is during high-pool lake levels (October to December) to pre-position rock at the project sites and the second is during low-pool lake levels (December to March) to complete the erosion control work. Prospective offers are advised to verify the availability of planned boat launches during low-pool periods. The work sites are Site No. 26 - Lucerne Campground and Site No. 27 - Lucerne Guard Station. Sites are directly adjacent to each other and are located in Sections 9 and 10, Township 31 North, Range 18 East, Willamette Meridian (WM) in Chelan County, Washington. The project site may be reached from Chelan, Washington by traveling up Lake Chelan approximately 37 miles from the Lady of the Lake boat dock. The project site is approximately 22 miles up-lake from the Twentyfive Mile Creek State Park boat ramp.
