The USDA Forest Service, Eastern Region, Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, is undertaking the "Park Falls Office Parking Lot Paving and Site Improvements" project in Price County, Wisconsin. The project, located at 1170 4th Avenue S., Park Falls, Wisconsin, involves paving the existing office parking lot and implementing various site improvements. Key elements include full-depth reclamation for paving, installation of a 3-inch asphaltic surface (Wisconsin DOT standards), and the creation of a paved surface swale for drainage. Significant attention is given to accessibility, with proposed ADA ramps constructed from treated timber, adhering to 2015 International Building Code standards. Utility considerations include the installation of new electrical feeders to the garage and provisions for future conduits. Drainage improvements involve ditch reconditioning with geotextile-lined riprap and underpavement rock drains. The project emphasizes maintaining positive drainage, managing existing utilities (gas, fiber optic, electric), and stabilizing disturbed areas with seeding and mulching. The overall aim is to modernize the parking facility while ensuring ADA compliance and effective site drainage.
