AI Contract Overview

The contract involves the ecological restoration of approximately 56,000 square feet or 1.28 acres of a degraded former gravel quarry site within Washoe Meadows State Park, aiming to return the area to natural wetland function. Activities include the removal of about 200 Jeffrey and lodgepole pine trees growing on imported fill, excavation of roughly 8,000 cubic yards of fill material to depths not exceeding seven feet, and reshaping the terrain to create low-lying areas for seasonal water retention and elevated islands for wildlife habitat. Two additional intermittent islands will be constructed while preserving existing islands with native Jeffrey pines and sagebrush. Three to four Beaver Dam Analogs will be installed to support hydrologic function, and a low water crossing adjacent to the service road will be upgraded. Native seeds will be hand-spread across all graded zones to promote the reestablishment of wetland vegetation, guided by a DPR-approved specialist. All work will be conducted during the fall season to avoid disturbance to adjacent wetlands and fens, which will remain undisturbed throughout the project. Equipment such as 10-yard dump trucks, bulldozers, excavators, skid steers, and loaders will be used for excavation and grading, with staging limited to a pre-existing 9,600 square foot area. Access to the site will be via the Chilocothe Street gate using existing service roads, and all excavated material will be transported offsite for use by the Washoe Tribal Nation. No jurisdictional waters will be impacted, as all earthwork will remain strictly within the boundaries of the previously delineated former wetland area, ensuring no intrusion into active wetland or fen ecosystems.

Full Description

Convert approx. 56,000 sq. ft. or 1.28 acres of a former gravel quarry site within Washoe Meadows State Park to wetland habitat to restore the physical and biological functions of this degraded former wetland to its natural state. Work will: Use heavy equipment to remove approx. 200 Jeffrey and lodgepole pine trees (6-8-in. DBH) that are growing on imported fill material; Remove approx. 8,000 cu. yds. of imported fill with varied excavation depths of no more than 7-ft deep to leave low areas for standing water and high areas to provide islands for wildlife habitat; Construct an additional two (2) intermittent islands for wildlife habitat and preserve islands with existing Jeffrey pines and sagebrush; Construct three (3) to four (4) Beaver Dam Analogs (BDAs); Improve the existing low water crossing over the adjacent service road that runs south and east of the site; and Hand spread/apply a native seed mix to all graded/excavated areas as directed by the DPR-approved specialist to facilitate re-vegetation of wetland vegetation on the graded areas. Project work will use 10-yard dump trucks, bulldozer, excavator, skid steer, and loader to excavate, grade, and off-haul the excavated fill material. Equipment staging will occur on approx. 9,600 sq. ft. of existing area routinely used for such purposes. Access to the site will be from the Chilocothe St. gate using existing service roads. All excavated materials will be hauled off and delivered to a specified offsite location for Washoe Tribal use. All project activities will occur during fall when the adjacent wetland and fen are dry. No jurisdictional waters will be impacted as all excavation and grading will occur to the limits of the existing delineated wetland and not within the wetland area; and no equipment access or project activities will occur in the existing wetland.
