CX-019263: Olympia-Satsop No. 2, 14/1 Access Road Stream Protection

Bonneville Power Administration is proposing to complete work to help protect the west fork of Porter Creek from impacts related to unauthorized off-road vehicle use of the existing Bonneville Power Administration access road. The road is in severe deterioration and is adding sediment to the creek during rain events. Furthermore, off-road vehicle users are entering and exiting the creek at the access road crossing. Tasks include, adding large rock to the road surface to stabilize the road base. Large rock installation should also deter off-road vehicle use of the road as large rock is an undesirable riding surface. Bonneville Power Administration also plans to install several large tree stumps at the off-road vehicle access points to the stream above the ordinary high water mark to block access to the stream. Erosion control materials will be installed to protect the stream from further sedimentation during and after construction.
