SITE SPECIFICS: Location and Description: The four worksites are on the top of Ferron Mountain about 15 miles west of Ferron, Utah. The furthest west site is at the head of Mill Stream with the other three sites all being to the east. The sites have some rock outcroppings, and moderate slopes. There are trees along some portions of the fence with brush cover along other parts of the fence. The fence routes have been cleared but some trees may need to be removed from the planned fence route. The Manti-La Sal N.F. will stake/flag the routes and corners. Forest Service staff will take the contractor to the locations if requested. Access to the site: There is no road or motorized trail to any of the four sites. There are two foot or horse trails to the top of the plateau. Reaching the worksites will be done on foot or horseback traveling from 2-3.5 miles into the different sites. All tools and equipment will need to be hauled in by horse or by manpower. It will be the contractor's responsibility to get the equipment to the work site.The bottom pole should be a minimum of 12 inches off the ground and the top should be 48 inches maximum, and the middle pole equally spaced between the top and bottom poles. (see diagram). o Avoid large overlap at the ends of the poles (prefer 6"-8" overlap).
