1. Gold Ray Road Solutions Team November 20, 2008 Physical Conditions Engineering Constraints

2. Engineering constraints on Upper River Road between Gold Ray Dam and the proposed boat ramp include: 1. Potential floodplain impacts. 2. Environmental permitting issues. 3. Steep grades and ADA issues. 4. Narrow width between RR track & River. 5. State law may require County to post speed limit at “Basic Rule”. Transferring shared use road to another entity like State Parks would allow a lower speed limit.

3. Near railroad crossing at dam looking south Issue: 1. Steep grade (ADA compliance)

4. Railroad crossing near dam looking north Issues: 1. Narrow width, steep side slope.

5. 200 feet north of tracks Issues: 1. Narrow, steep side slope, bedrock.

6. A few hundred feet north of tracks Issues: 1. Narrow, steep side slope, bedrock.

7. 1800 feet north of tracks Issue: 1. Steep grade (ADA compliance)

11. Dense trees near boat launch Issue: Floodplain
