This set of guidelines is applicable to the Berkeley Tuolumne Camp (the Camp)

Special Use Permit (SUP) on the Stanislaus National Forest, Groveland Ranger

District.

Photo: Tim Messic The Camp had been in continuous operation for 91 years before being substantially

destroyed in August, 2013 by the Rim Fire. Of the 128 structures in the Camp, 18

survived the fire.

With the destruction of the Camp the opportunity is presented to construct a new Camp

with a built image that, while keeping certain elements that are iconic to generations of

campers, can also visually merge the overall Camp with its new setting and respond to

environmental requirements.

These guidelines are applicable to all features defined in the Camp SUP Proposed

Action Statement being reviewed under the National Environmental Policy Act and the

1.0

California Environmental Policy Act. SUP plan figures are included at the end of these

guidelines.

This set of guidelines for the Camp reflects:

• Direction provided in FSM 2300, Recreation, Wilderness, and Related

Resource Management for Privately Provided Recreation Facilities, and by

The Built Environment Image Guide for National Forests.

• Requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.; 40 C.F.R. pts 1500-1508 ) that directs the Forest Service to develop

methods and procedures “which will insure that [scenery and other] un-

quantified environmental amenities and values may be given appropriate

consideration in decision making along with economic and technical

considerations.”

• Requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources

Code Section 21083, Public Resources Code; Reference: §21002, §21002.1,

§21081, and §21100(c) and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of

Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Sections 15000–15387) in that:

− aesthetics is identified and evaluated in relation to key visual resources in

the project area, and a determination be made about the degree of visual

impact that would be attributable to a proposed project. Further, the

analysis would identify key visual resources that warrant consideration in

subsequent plans, so as to ensure, where possible, that the integrity of the

landscape and built environment is maintained.

− any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with

jurisdiction over the project adopted for the purpose of avoiding or

mitigating an environmental effect be considered

It addresses the Camp’s setting and its circulation systems, structures, site furnishings,

and landscape. To the extent practicable the guidelines incorporate the principles of

sustainability and reflect the Camp’s natural and cultural landscape setting along the

South Fork Tuolumne River and as seen from Hardin Flat Road.

The overall goal for reconstruction of the Camp is to enhance the Camp infrastructure,

while retaining its rustic charm as a family-friendly facility that endured for

generations before the Rim Fire. Additional built image goals for the Camp include:


November, 2017 3

• Locate and design all built features with respect for the surrounding natural systems, and in particular the South Fork Tuolumne River corridor.

• Aesthetically integrate the natural, cultural, and experiential context. • Incorporate design elements that reinforce the Camp as a family-friendly, safe

place for creativity, enjoyment, and education. • Emphasize efficiency of energy and materials consumption in construction and

operation. • Serve as a premier example to interpret conservation of natural resources and

sustainable development. • Create environments for people to enjoy and gain increased appreciation for the

natural environment, and in which employees work productively, experiencing the connection to the resources and people they manage.

Location and Setting The Camp is located on Hardin Flat Road just off State Route 120, approximately 8

miles from the northern entrance to Yosemite National Park at approximately 3,800

feet elevation. The Camp is located on both sides of the South Fork Tuolumne River,

its central feature. All Camp facilities and activities orient around the river.

The Camp is located at the upper end of a river transitions from a canyon form to the

wide alluvial Hardin Flat, about 1/2 mile downstream from the Camp. The central

Camp area is located on a gentle to steep north-facing slope. The forest canopy that

once existed over much of the central Camp area was destroyed by the Rim Fire and

will take a generation (20 years or more) to provide the natural shading it once did.

Recreation Opportunity Spectrum The Recreational Opportunity Spectrum classification for the lands surrounding the

Camp is Roaded Natural. Typically facilities are rustic providing some comfort for the

user as well as site protection. Contemporary/rustic design is usually based on use of

native materials. Synthetic materials should not be evident and site modifications

should be moderate. While the Camp represents a relatively high degree of

development, feathered vegetative screening parallel to Hardin Flat Road would be

compatible with the Roaded Natural designation (see also Revegetation section below). Cultural Influences The general Camp setting along the South Fork Tuolumne River has been used by

Native Americans for thousands of years and includes a number of prehistoric sites in

the general area.. The Camp first operated in 1922 and had been in continuous


November, 2017 4

operation for 91 years prior to the Rim Fire. A historic evaluation1 was conducted

noting that the Camp demonstrates a continuum of use that would possibly be eligible

for listing as a historic district in the National Register of Historic Places. However the

Forest Service determined that the Camp was not eligible for inclusion in the National

Register because it lacks integrity to its period of significance. Nonetheless, the

Camp’s use of the River, and its features involve a cultural tradition spanning five

generations.

D E S I G N P R I N C I P L E S Sustainability

GeneralThe Forest Service identifies sustainability as being derived from principles of

conservation and stewardship that are integral to the integrity and mission of the

Forest Service. A sustainable built environment aims to meet the following goals:

• minimize the use of resources. • conserve ecosystems, the source of all resources. • create healthy built environments and landscapes for present and future

generations.

The City of Berkeley has a number of sustainability policies related to

construction, design, and use of facilities that will be applied to the design,

construction, and operations of the Camp. These are directed by “precautionary

principles” to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the community by

minimizing health risks, improving air quality, protecting the quality of ground and

surface water, minimizing consumption of resources, and minimizing the City's

contribution to global climate change. Among these policies are:

• Using the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System Standards for City (Resolution No. 62,693-N.S., 2004 and Resolution No. 62,28-N.S.). All new Camp buildings will be LEED Gold certificated or the equivalent.

• Using only previously used or certified “sustainably" produced lumber (Resolution No. 58,291-N.S.; Resolution No. 62,693-N.S.; and Resolution No. 58,704- N.S.). All wood used in Camp will comply with this policy.

• Prohibiting purchase and use of all Pentachlorophenol, arsenic and creosote treated wood. (Resolution No. 61,724–N.S.).

• Using Integrated Pest Management principles for pest control and pesticide use (Resolution No. 62,693-N.S; Resolution No. 54,319-N.S.). No pesticides will be used in Camp related to the revegetation program.

• Achieving a Zero Waste goal by 2020 such that all discarded material is recycled, composted, or reused (Resolution No. 62,849–N.S.). A recycling system and facilities will be a component of the Camp infrastructure and

operations. • Using environmentally preferable purchasing. (Resolution No. 62,693-

N.S., 2004) This policy requires the purchase of products and services that minimize environmental and health impacts, toxics, pollution, and hazards to worker and community safety and to the larger global community to the greatest extent practicable.

• Eliminating anthropogenic sources of dioxin pollution (Resolution No. 62,693-N.S.; Resolution No. 60,196-N.S.). This policy directs use of PVC-free plastics among other materials.

Energy UseEnergy-efficient design begins with an understanding of the Camp’s climate and

use period. It is a summer-season camp. The Rim Fire eliminated all shade

producing trees in most of the central Camp area. Summer temperatures in the

Camp typically range from the 90s in the daytime to the low 60s at night. Critical

to the ambiance of the Camp and reducing energy demands is providing shade

through plants or architectural elements, and maximizing air circulation within

Camp structures. This would be achieved by:

• Planting relatively fast-growing hardwood trees (alders, maples, dogwoods).

• Using sun control architectural devices such as overhangs, arbors, and fabric shade systems.

• Elongating buildings in a generally east / west direction. • Using the proper thermal storage mass (amount of windows and walls). • Using glazing based on the climate and the window-wall ratio. • Encouraging using natural ventilation for cooling purposes. • Utilizing energy efficient cooling and power systems.

In addition, energy-related life cycle and operational costs of Camp facilities will

be reduced by:

• Employing day lighting to bring natural light into buildings. • Using LED lighting and EnergyStar certified appliances. • Utilizing free energy, such as passive solar. • Considering installation of solar panels over the Camper parking area.


November, 2017 7

Water Use The following concepts will be addressed in the reconstruction of the Camp and its

infrastructure:

• Consider permeable paving or gravel for all vehicular drives and parking areas to recharge groundwater and minimize runoff.

• Use water-conserving appliances including dishwashers and all washing machines.

• In restrooms, use automatic shut-off faucets for sinks and showers, low water-flow toilets, and waterless urinals.

• Consider collecting water runoff from roofs (use of a metal roof or other acceptable materials is required) and storing it for irrigation.

• Consider dual plumbing systems to reuse graywater for irrigation. • Use of native soils, gravel, or porous paving for the Camp’s circulation

system to minimize erosion and to recharge the groundwater table. • Utilize efficient irrigation systems (if applicable) with bubbler heads or

minimal spray areas for establishing plants.

Site Planning and Design The following actions will be applied to Camp in order to: reflect a Recreation

Opportunity Spectrum designation of Roaded Natural; attain a Visual Quality

Objective of Partial Retention as seen from Hardin Flat Road; provide for wildlife

corridors through Camp; and enhance the quality of the Camp experience given its

condition after the Rim Fire.

• Implement a revegetation program that visually, over time, will emphasize the natural riparian character of the South Fork Tuolumne River and the upland meadows and forests surrounding it.

• Eliminate overnight parking along Hardin Flat Road and the central Camp area.

• Retain the general density of the central Camp area as existed prior to the Rim Fire. To accomplish this, relocate staff camp facilities to the opposite side of Hardin Flat Road.

• Plant the zone adjacent to Hardin Flat Road in a feathered-edge pattern to screen parking areas and Camp facilities from the road and vice-versa.

• Site all structures to catch the breezes necessary to mitigate the heat build-up in summer time.

• Concentrate family camp structures on one side of the South Fork Tuolumne River to preserve the north side of the river as a natural habitat corridor.

• Sculpt the central Camp area to create intermittent drainage patterns that


November, 2017 8

connect with Thimbelberry Creek, encourage plant growth, and allow wildlife passage.

• Place family tent cabin structures oriented to but set back from Thimbleberry Creek and intermittent drainages to provide a focal setting for cabins.

• Minimize nighttime site illumination.

November, 2017 9

B U I L T I M A G E D E S I G N G U I D E L I N E S Landscape The visual and environmental effects of the Rim Fire present an atypical design

challenge. The built image of the Camp begins with reconstructing the landscape in

the core Camp area.

Prior to the Rim Fire, the Camp’s image had been a collection of structures set in a

riverine and forest canopy landscape. Reestablishing that scenario will be

dependent on a focused planting program that responds to a topographic aspect that

varies widely.

Consistent with overall Forest Service goals (Rim Fire Reforestation (45612)

Stanislaus National Forest Scoping Package, February, 2015) and the riparian

setting of the central Camp on the north-facing slope of the South Fork Tuolumne

River, the Camp’s landscape image will emphasize dense riparian vegetation and

conifers shading the river, Thimbleberry Creek, and related drainages. High to

moderate stand densities and canopy cover would be targeted for mid-slope areas

of the Camp. Within that framework, along the Hardin Flat Road corridor,

revegetation would accomplish dual goals of a shaded fuel break and screening of

Camp facilities and parking areas. The south-facing leach field area will be

managed as an open hillside meadow.

Figure 1 presents a conceptual area mosaic of revegetation of burned areas within

the central Camp. Table 1 overviews the general objectives for each unit. Table 2

provides a general listing of species keyed to that mosaic.

All plants will be native to the immediate region surrounding the Camp. It is

anticipated that the majority of planting will be conducted in the fall months using

small contract-grown container plants (liners) although in select locations more

mature trees may be transplanted or planted from larger containers to attain a shade

canopy in the short-term.

Overall Development Character and Appearance The design goal is to present a unified Camp presence reflective of a wooded riverine setting. To that end visible infrastructure will emphasize use of natural or naturally appearing materials that will blend with the colors and textures of the Camp’s characteristic landscape. These materials include:

• Granite boulders and stones • River rock • Wood • Non-reflective, earth-toned metals • Non-reflective glass • Earth and vegetative-toned fabric shade canopies


November, 2017 12

Parking and Circulation System Vehicular Circulation The main entry drives will be composed of porous asphalt paving. These include

encroachment areas within the Hardin Flat Road right-of-way, and the drive

leading from Hardin Flat Road to the Dining Hall. Parking areas will be crushed

granite gravel.

Pedestrian Circulation Other than outdoor group use areas such as the entrance to the Dining Hall,

pedestrian circulation will be directed to defined routes to encourage plant growth

and discourage runoff and sediment transport. Within the core Camp area around

the Dining Hall, islands of vegetation will be created by either log or granite

boulder borders.

Accessible pedestrian routes of travel will connect selected family and staff camps

and all common-use facilities. All accessible routes will be a minimum of five feet

wide. The main route connecting the entrance area with the Dining Hall will be six

feet wide. Materials will be either:

• Firm and stable natural surface contained by granite stone edges or retaining walls with raised edges and railings on the downhill side as necessary. In some locations water quality trench drain systems will be included.

• Boardwalks and overlooks with and without railings as necessary. The steepness of slopes in both the family tent cabin areas and most of the staff

camp area, render these areas exceptions in terms of accessibility. These paths in

these areas will be:

• Between four and six feet wide depending on the cross slope and be: • Natural surface trails with granite water bars directing runoff into vegetated

areas • Wood tie or granite steps with boardwalks where necessary

Buildings The major buildings and heart of the Camp experience are the Dining Hall and

Recreation Hall. To an extent their architectural form should mimic these heritage

features in terms of orientation to the river and scale. In particular arcades below

each building or deck that provide shade in a location overlooking the river should

be recreated.

Other hard-sided buildings include, but are not limited to, the Camp store and

snack bar, first aid station, Camp Manger’s residence, Maintenance Manager’s

cabin, staff cabins, storage buildings, restrooms, showers and laundries.

Materials • Celebrate the use where feasible of granite stone, river rock, and wood

reflective of the Camp’s riverine and forest setting. • Match the texture of materials to the scale of the setting. • Where logs may be used for buildings, they should retain their rustic

character - knots, checks and inherent crookedness are assets. Use of logs as structural elements is consistent with the history of the Camp.

• Use metal or “oxidizing” steel roofs in dark non-reflective tones. • Use river rock or granite stone veneer facing for building bases, chimneys,

and retaining walls. Joints should look as if dry-laid. Set mortar back 1” to 2” for a strong shadow line and definition of stonework.

• Emphasize muted earth tones such as beige, brown, tan and ochre. • Employ materials that would weather into natural dark color rather than

using paint.


November, 2017 14

• Avoid dark colors indoors. Make interiors light and reflective to create a light, airy environment.

Massing and Scale

• Diminish apparent mass of larger buildings by creating wings or compounds of connected structures.

• Design roofed structures to look solid and substantial. • Avoid use of large planar surfacing (plywood).

Structure

• Use exposed structure, such as trusses and post-beam, for both interior and exterior.

Structure Base

• Complement the dramatic landscape, while reducing wear and tear on buildings by using, where feasible, stone bases anchored to the ground.

• Use battered stone rock when possible. • “Float” structures and boardwalks on pilings or piers when over the river

floodplain, wet areas, or through rock outcrops. Walls

• Design walls that appear to be growing from the ground. • Use rough wood siding materials that are rough-sawn and have a heavy

thickness to create a shadow line. • Emphasize wall textures through board and batten or tongue and grove

patterns. • Make walls less dominant than roofs. • Use logs, heavy timbers, or multiple members for posts or columns.

Windows and Openings

• Make windows large to take in river breezes and encourage natural ventilation.

• Protect entries with porches. • Utilize operable windows with screens. • Maximize overhang on south sides to minimize indoor daytime heating.

Roofing

• Design the roof to dominate the architectural composition of the Dining Hall, Recreaton Hall, and Nature Center.


November, 2017 15

• Keep roof shapes simple for shedding snow and easy maintenance. • Avoid use of flat roofs and gambrel roofs. • Avoid multiple roof forms that may shed snow onto other roofs. • Utilize clerestory windows, skylights, or dormers as a means of

maximizing daylight in interior spaces. • Consider placing operable skylights near the ridge line of roofs for efficient

ventilation. • Protect rafter tails.

Decks, Tent Cabin Platforms and Overlooks Massing and Scale

• Design decks and tent platforms to look as if floating above the river or forest floor.

Structure Base:

• Use colored and textured concrete piers that blend with the surrounding soil color.

• Design structural support systems that appear to be growing from the ground.

• Keep all areas under deck open for light, air circulation, and vegetative growth.

Railings

• Use wood and cable railings to enhance views to the river. • Use wood railings with vertical balusters and heavy timbers or multiple

members for posts to provide a sense of safety for family tent cabins.

Structural Shade Systems Creating instant shade will be necessary to provide a relaxing Camp atmosphere for

the immediate foreseeable future until a tree canopy develops. To complement

limited planting of large container trees, wooden shade arbors or framed fabric

systems (natural colors and wood or log posts) will be used.


November, 2017 16

Storage Buildings and Fencing Storage buildings will be modular in design to allow flexibility in expansion if

needed. All storage buildings and the majority of fencing will be board and batten.

Fencing will range in height from 42 inches around such use areas as Kiddie Camp

to 6 feet when needed for screening such as the service entrance to the Dining Hall.

Lighting Minimal area lighting will be used around the central court area, store, chair circle.

Entrance lighting will be located on selected common use structures (Dining Hall,

Recreation Hall, Office, First aid / Nurse Station, etc.)

• All outdoor lighting will be dark sky-compliant. • Lighting will be limited to areas required for operations or safety and

shielded from public view as seen from Hardin Flat Road to the extent practical.

• Lighting that is not required during nighttime hours will be controlled with sensors or switches operated such that lighting will be on only when needed.

Furnishings Most of the outdoor furniture at Camp was traditional and replacements will be

built by staff and campers themselves. With the exception of green Adirondack

chairs, Camp furnishings will be primarily wood with other materials either painted

or with integral brown color. These include fire hose storage cabinets, log seats and

benches, log post-beam structures, and bear-proof containments among others.


November, 2017 17

Signs Signs along Hardin Flat Road when entering the BTC SUP permit area should

follow Forest Service standards. Camp entrance signs be primarily wood with

either painted or with integral brown color. Stone functions may be used.

The main Camp entrance sign should repeat that which existed prior to the Rim

Fire. It consisted of a stone foundation and wood sign. Parking area signs would

be composed of wood only.
