OHV Trail 15 Crossings upgrades

Mendocino National Forest Lake, California Upper Lake Ranger District

The ULRD proposes to install culverts or harden OHV crossings that are currently unimproved on Trail 15. Properly designed drainage structures will reduce hydrologic connectivity between trails to the watershed. https://usfs-public.box.com/s/pu0y8gc19rx3kyznncc55t5dax0kc95a

Location

Near Penny Pines Campground. Trail 15 within Central Valley Waterboard (this excludes the northern most section of trail 15, north of road 17N99). T17N, R10W. Sec 23, 25
