This Reconnaissance and Scoping Report for California Forest Highway (FH) 129 Arroyo Seco Road, has been prepared as a guide for the Public Lands Highway (PLH) agencies, including the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). These three agencies are responsible for administering the PLH program in California, a highway planning, design, and construction program authorized by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). Reconnaissance is accomplished to determine the: General condition of the existing highway. Purpose and need for improvements. Recommended level of improvements. Viability of the proposed project. FH 129 begins at the intersection with CR-G16 and proceeds westerly 5.35 miles over CR- 3050 to the entrance to the Arroyo Seco Campground. The roadway is owned and maintained by Monterey County. The route is functionally classified as a minor collector serving the Los Padres National Forest (LPNF). According to the Forest Service data, 75% of the traffic is Forest related. The principle Forest resource served is recreation. This report documents only what was observed during a single-day field review of the FH 129 roadway. The intent was to use this information as a starting point for a scoping document and further discussions with the other agencies involved with the planning and maintenance of these facilities. No detailed field investigations, such as surveys, field inventories, or traffic modeling, have been performed, but rather a cursory review of this 3R project. This reconnaissance effort and report should help the PLH agencies to determine whether or not the project continues in the program and, if so, when it should be scheduled. The report also serves as a starting point for project development activities.
