Grade the entrance road to 12 ft wide (1,830 linear feet) and add additional gravel. Re-align the existing road in two locations further from the Similkameen River (240 linear feet).

Grade and gravel the parking area (2400 SF existing, 2600 SF new, 5000 SF total). Mulch roadside shoulder, 6 ft on each side. Vegetation will be cut back using a tractor and mulching attachment, which will chip the vegetation. This will not cause ground disturbance.

A kiosk will be installed near the parking area.
Cutchie #3 is located off of Loomis-Oroville Road. The existing site includes a single, gravel access road and parking area. See Sheet 3 of the drawings.

Add 4” of compacted CSBC gravel to the access road. Asphalt pave the road entrance apron at Loomis-Oroville Rd (500 SF).
