| Please describe your proposed project: | The location of this project is south of the Big Sandy Lake Dam between 52844 223rd Pl and 52819 223rd Pl on the Right. This is the north property line for Parcel ID # 18-1-0683501 and is used for a utility Easement and my boat ramp that is adjoined on the West shoreline of Big Sandy Lake that is 33ft wide and runs 42ft west to meet 223rd PL, which runs South and North. From the West side of 223rd PL continues 44ft west and 25ft wide used for parking; at that point, the Easement continues to go up a steep incline and continues West along the north property line. When coming into the 44 x 25ft parking area off 223rd PL with my pontoon, there is not enough distance to be straight in line with my boat ramp going to the lake. I figured I needed a total of 69ft from the west side of 223rd PL to line up straight with the boat ramp. I talked to 2 council members from Libby Township, explained what I wanted to do, and asked each of them if I needed a permit to do what I wanted to do. One said no, the other said I should not need a permit, and nobody else got one. So I marked off an additional 23ft from the 44ft going West into the hillside. With only 25ft for the width, I decided to use a 25,000lbs load-rated steel upright instead of a retaining block which I would lose a little over 2ft from the 25ft width; using the steel uprights, I only lost 11" from the 25 ft width. The steel uprights will be placed along the North, West, and South walls. Each upright post will be below grade 3ft, and a 3/8 rebar 6ft long will be placed inside each upright post and driven down three more feet past the upright base. Rock and fill are added along the base of the walls. Steel sheeting is placed inside the steel uprights from top to bottom and bolted to the posts. As promised, Mickman Bros. suggested adding 3/8 rebar (Anchors) that are ten feet long with hooks welded at the ends and driven into the side wall every 4 feet apart and connected to the steel uprights, and then rock and fill that was removed from the hillside will be used for backfilling the side walls. I have attached a copy of the area of the hill that needs to be removed with the measurements. |

I, Tim Richter intend to plant as many trees, shrubs, and Grass as possible without affecting the purpose of this project. I will be using this area on a weekly schedule and will do whatever is needed to keep it looking nice and erosion and drainage under control for as long as I need lake access. |
