installed to assist in the construction of the Butler Ford Bridge. The improvement will include the placement of a geogrid base to
secure the ABC stone that will be used to improve the access ramp to Swift Creek. This will assist in preventing erosion of surface
material into Swift Creek during the County's usage during our StRAP (Streamflow Rehabilitation Assistance Program) program and
the general public for future years of usage. The type of equipment to be used are as follows: Dump truck for material delivery, Skid
Steer, Smooth Drum Roller as well as necessary hand tools. No removal of sediment, vegetation or root mat disturbance will take
place.
