Project Description

Please describe your proposed project:
clear out area at base of previously excavated path and landing by lakeside away from cabin so that it is safe and accessible for my father (87 years old) who cannot walk well and needs a gold cart to get down to the lake. widen path so it is safe, clear out old debris (metal, tires, pipes, old boat lift, etc.) on shoreline and in water. We will put down erosion control blankets along the embankment and establish plant growth to contain run off. back embankment of landing (not overlooking the shoreline may need further support but was at the same height of excavation as it is now for probably 20-30 years without erosion issues - it is just widened now for safety. Overgrown bushes and weeds were removed but most trees were kept for stability of embankment and were removed to get metal and boat lift out of trees (grown into trees).
Will you be removing vegetation during this project? Yes
