The document provides an Earthwork Summary detailing excavation and embankment volumes for a construction project. It specifies 5,173 cubic yards of total roadway prism excavation. Material available for fill from structure excavation, roadway obliteration, and subexcavation totals 0 cubic yards. Material unavailable for fill, including pavement removal and topsoil stripping, amounts to 2,103 cubic yards. After adjustments for shrink/swell, 3,070 cubic yards of excavation are available for fills. The total required fill material (embankment and backfill) is 0 cubic yards. This results in a surplus of 3,070 cubic yards, which is categorized as estimated total waste. The document indicates

The North Point Boat Ramp Parking Lot project, part of the SD FLAP SDGFP North Point – RTE 900, involves replacing existing pavement within a FEMA-regulated Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), Zone A, in Charles Mix County, South Dakota. HDR's Amy Finseth contacted Michael Kotab, the Charles Mix County Floodplain Administrator, who confirmed that no Floodplain Development Permit is required. This determination is based on the project primarily being a replacement of existing pavement with no significant fill added, ensuring no impact on base flood elevations. The project includes replacing asphalt and aggregate, adding one ADA parking space, extending pavement through existing grass median areas, and installing new signs and pavement markings. The reconstruction is designed to maintain existing ground elevations and complies with Federal Lands Highway PDDM and 44 CFR 60.3 criteria for approximate FEMA Zone A – Special Flood Hazard Areas.

Shannon & Wilson conducted a pavement design report for the reconstruction of the boat ramp parking lot at North Point Recreation Area in Charles Mix County, South Dakota. The project, under the Federal Highway Administration, Central Federal Lands Highway Division, on behalf of South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks, addresses distressed asphalt concrete pavement and chip seal. Subsurface explorations, laboratory testing, and visual assessments revealed medium stiff to stiff lean to fat clay subgrade soils. The report recommends pavement section alternatives, including full-depth ACP, composite ACP over crushed aggregate base (CAB), full depth reclamation (FDR), and ACP over lime-treated subgrade (LTS). The preferred alternative is 3.5 inches of ACP over 6 inches of CAB with a geotextile separator. Additional considerations include mitigation for expansive soils, frost damage, and corrosive soil. Construction considerations emphasize proper subgrade preparation, compaction, and managing soft subgrade conditions. The report details material specifications and limitations.

The document provides comprehensive plans for the North Point Parking Lot project (SD FLAP SDGFP PARKING(1)), focusing on roadway construction, pavement replacement, and site improvements. It includes detailed abbreviations, conventional plan symbols, survey control information, and a site map. Key sections outline typical pavement sections, including asphalt concrete pavement and roadway aggregate. The project covers a length of 840.9 feet (0.16 miles) and specifies quantities for various pay items, such as roadway excavation, asphalt concrete, and pavement markings. The plan incorporates specific details for drainage, fencing, landscaping, mapping, right-of-way, guardrail, signs, and utilities. Special provisions include stabilization geotextile (Option X), concrete pads, sign structures, and pavement marking symbols. Traffic control plans are also outlined to ensure safety during construction.
