.2 Working with the Capital Infrastructure Planner who led the IDP / FMP planning process as well as the designated Project Manager, the work to be accomplished under this project includes:
.1 New Campground Development at Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park – Áísínai'pi Management Unit:
.1 Group Camping Area(s): approximately twenty (20) powered campsites, a potable water connection with a few access points (taps), camping registration, a group use firepit, campground amenities (a few vault toilets as well as garbage / recycling receptacles), campground markers and potentially a group picnic shelter.
.2 New Equestrian Staging Area: granular or asphalt road, car/truck parking, horse trailer parking, horse loading / unloading area, amenities (a vault toilet as well as garbage / recycling receptacles) and accessible equestrian mount / dismount ramp. Adherence with best management practices for equine welfare.
.3 New Horse Handling Area: horse corrals with shade and wind protection to support approximately 18 horses, manure management infrastructure, horse hitches and a potable water source for equestrian use. Adherence with best management practices for equine welfare.
.4 Trailhead: amenities (garbage/recycling receptables, etc.) and site furnishings (benches, informational kiosk, etc.).
.5 Equestrian Trail: an equestrian trail from the trailhead near the equestrian staging area in the new campground development to the backcountry equestrian trail network (i.e. backcountry trailhead at valley level). This requires one crossing through the Milk River. The river crossing does not require any infrastructure or site disturbance. Adherence with best management practices for equine welfare.
.6 Pedestrian Trail: a pedestrian trail from the trailhead near the equestrian staging area in the new campground development to the Visitor Centre.
