NPS Announcements for Cabin Maintenance

June 2011 - Gravel for Drives

From time to time some of our drives need an application of gravel (or DG or aggregate base) to prevent erosion. There is, however, a need to be sure that we don't import any non-native plant seeds along with it. Neither the NPS nor we want to introduce any problem plants (weeds, etc.) into the park.

Accordingly, if you need to bring up a load of gravel, once you have located a source – but before you purchase the material – please advise the vendor that the NPS will be by to inspect the material and certify that it is seed free.

Then please give Christine Smith a call at 559-565-3105. If the Park Service is not already familiar with the vendor, it will dispatch someone to inspect the material. Christine has promised that the process will be completed within ten days.

For more information about cabin maintenance, please visit the Mineral King District Association website.
