Trail Width: All trails will be machine-built with a 48” maximum width except for pullouts for handcycles, which can have a maximum width of 72” on level ground and will be designated on a map. Excavation and Earth: Use machinery to excavate and shape the trail, ensuring proper drainage and sustainable grades per the provided trail design. Excess soil that is not used to shape, build up, or support the tread surface needs to be removed from the project area or used on another part of the trail where additional soil is needed. Tread Construction: Construct a durable and sustainable trail surface using native materials. Grade Reversals and Drainage: Construct grade reversals and any necessary drainage features to promote water drainage according to the provided trail design. Trail Features: Build trail features (berms, bumps, jumps, and switchbacks) in correspondence with the trail difficulty and adhering to provided trail design and to conform to modern “bikeoptimized” trail construction practices. Within the trail (48”) and pullouts (72”), there will be no physical barriers taller than 12” to accommodate adaptive cycles. Final Grading and Finish Work: Conduct final grading and finish work to ensure a smooth and visually appealing trail surface and minimally disturbed surrounding slopes. Impact Mitigation: Tree removal and tree limb cutting will be avoided as much as possible. This has been considered in the trail design. Removal of a tree over 10” in diameter at root crown/base of trunk must be requested and granted approval by the BLM botanist. Disturbed areas over 50" will be naturalized, with the exception of planned 72" pullouts
