Designated on Sale Area Map Purchaser shall keep roads and trails needed for fire protection or other purposes and designated on Sale Area Map reasonably free of equipment and products, slash, and debris resulting from Purchaser’s Operations. Purchaser shall make timely restoration of any such im- provements damaged by Purchaser’s Operations and, when necessary because of such operations, shall move such improvements, as specified in C6.22. B6.221 Protection of Improvements Not Owned by Forest Service. Forest Service will notify all utility companies, or other parties affected, and make ar- rangements for all necessary adjustments of the public utility fixtures, pipelines, and other appurtenances likely to be affected by Purchaser’s Operations. When Purchaser’s Operations are adjacent to proper- ties of railway, telephone, or power companies, or other property, work shall not begin until Purchaser has identi- fied actions necessary to prevent damage. Purchaser shall cooperate with the owners of any un- derground or overhead utility lines in their removal and/or rearrangement operations in order that these operations may progress in a reasonable manner, utility duplication or rearrangement work may be reduced to a minimum, and services shall not be unnecessarily interrupted. In the event of interruption to utility services because of accidental breakage or as a result of lines being ex- posed or unsupported, Purchaser shall promptly notify the proper authority and shall cooperate with that authority in the restoration of service until the service is restored. When materials are to be hauled across the tracks of any railway, Forest Service will make arrangements with the railroad for the use of any existing crossing or for any new crossing required. Purchaser shall make arrange- ments for use of alternate crossings. All construction work to be performed by Purchaser on the railroad right-of-way shall not damage railroad company’s property. B6.222 Protection of Property. In construc- tion and reconstruction of Specified Roads, Purchaser shall not unnecessarily remove, deface, injure, or destroy trees, shrubs, or other natural features, unless specifically authorized. To the extent practicable, Purchaser shall confine operations to within the clearing limit or other ar- eas designated in the contract and prevent the depositing of rocks, excavated materials, stumps, or other debris outside these limits. Material that falls outside these limits shall be re- trieved, disposed of, or incorporated in the work to the ex- tent practicable and necessary to protect adjacent re- source values, unless otherwise agreed. B6.23 Protection of Land Survey Monuments. Forest Service shall appropriately designate on the ground all known survey monuments, section corners, and other corner accessories. Forest Service shall post identifying signs on two sides of each known bearing tree. Forest Service shall arrange protective or per- petuative action that does not cause unnecessary delay to Purchaser in authorized clearings, such as Clearcutting Units and road construction, and in other instances where damage to monuments, section corners, and other corner accessories is unavoidable. Purchaser shall protect all known survey monuments, witness corners, reference monuments, and bearing trees against avoidable destruction, obliteration, or damage during Purchaser’s Operations. If any known monuments, corners, or accessories are destroyed, obliterated, or damaged by Purchaser’s Operations, Purchaser shall hire the appropriate county surveyor or a registered land sur- veyor to reestablish or restore at the same location the monuments, corners, or accessories. Such surveyors shall use procedures in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management “Manual of Instructions for the Survey of the Public Lands of the United States” for General Land Office surveys and in accordance with State law for others. Purchaser shall record such survey in appropriate county records.
