All asphalt will be recycled. All existing campsites will be upgraded with new concrete parking pads capable of withstanding both the size and weight of modern RVs. All amenities (electrical pedestals, fire rings, lantern holders, picnic tables, bumper blocks and plumbing fixtures) will be installed. All roads in each area will be re-paved with hot mix asphalt.

Option areas will be renovated as funding permits. Expanding seepage collector system at the base of Ferrells Bridge Dam at Lake O the Pines will entail demolition and removal of approximately 200 linear feet of existing concrete liner (approx 4,650 square feet). The ditch will be graded, compacted, and a new 6-inch concrete liner will be constructed. Repair of ditches at Cooper Dam will entail approx 1,170 feet of raw earth ditch that will be graded and compacted, after which a 6-inch concrete liner will be constructed inside the ditch.
