Road Construction and Maintenance. (a) All roads used for log hauling shall be maintained to control erosion during the operating season, including prevention of berms and ruts. Dust abatement measures including application of water to roads and landings may be required by the Officer in Charge. At the completion of operations and for the season ending October 31, 2021, the Purchaser shall smooth and out-slope the road surface and install rolling dips and/or water bars as specified by the Officer in Charge. Approximately 8.6 miles of final road maintenance is anticipated that may include removing berms, filling in ruts/mud holes, and blading the road surface. All road maintenance must be complete prior to moving equipment from the logging unit.
(b) After final road maintenance, approximately 9 miles of secondary haul roads, spur roads, landings, and exposed skid trails shall be seeded with an approved grass and fertilizer mix provided by the purchaser. Roads and skid trails used during 2021 shall be water barred after operations are completed for the season. Roads and portions of roads that will not be used again in the 2022 season shall be grass seeded prior to seasonal move-out in 2021.
(c) Three road segments totaling approximately 1 mile shall be extended or reconstructed to provide equipment access to timber harvest areas that are across streams or other riparian areas. Three 24”X 24’ CMP culverts will be installed in designated stream crossing locations as shown in Exhibit B. Each installation must be approved by the Officer in Charge prior to use. Straw or fiber mulch will be applied in a layer at least 6” deep to exposed soil areas on both sides of the stream within the riparian area in each of these three crossings. Straw mulching will be required within 48 hours at culvert installation sites and on disturbed cut and fill slopes as directed by the Officer in Charge.
(d) Any temporary stream crossings shall be installed as shown in Exhibit B. Each crossing must be approved by the Officer in Charge prior to construction and removed prior to September 30 of each year. If the Purchaser chooses to use a culvert with a minimum diameter of 24” and a minimum length of 20 feet, the Officer in Charge may allow the culvert crossing to remain in place until final road maintenance is completed. Temporary stream crossings must be removed and streamside areas restored to previous condition. Straw will be applied at least 6” deep to exposed soil areas within the riparian area.

Road Construction and Maintenance. Roads on lands owned in fee by Green Diamond are constructed most commonly by felling and yarding timber along a predetermined road alignment that has been designated on the ground. This activity is followed by excavating or filling hillslope areas, using tractors or excavators. Road construction also commonly involves construction of watercourse crossings which use culverts, bridges, and occasionally fords. Roads also include vehicle turnouts and log landings, which are wide spots capable of being used as destinations of yarded logs as well as locations for loading logs onto trucks. Road construction may also involve the surfacing of soil roads with rock, lignin, pavement, or other surface treatments approved by NMFS and USFWS. Road maintenance commonly includes surface grading, clearing bank slumps, repairing slumping or sliding fills, clearing ditches, repairing or replacing culverts and bridges, adding surface material, dust abatement, and installing or replacing of surface drainage structures. Road maintenance for fire prevention, public access, and timber management may include mechanical control of roadside vegetation. Mechanical control may include grading, hand cutting or pulling, use of a "brush buster"-type mechanical device, burning, steaming, other experimental methods, etc.

Road Construction and Maintenance. The County shall provide road reconstruction and maintenance operations (“Road Operations”) through its Public Works Department as follows.
Road Construction and Maintenance. Construction, maintenance and dust suppression of access, haul and other roads, including temporary ramps, all Work areas on the Property and roads as directed by Owner and as reasonably anticipated by the Development Plan and Specifications. In all construction Work involving fill material, Contractor shall maintain existing drainage, or provide alternate drainage paths or runoff control for surface water from precipitation. Contractor shall be responsible for grading and maintaining berms on roads and waste dumps. Salts, such as magnesium chloride, or other surface treatments shall be provided by Owner (or Contractor at Owner's expense) and shall be used on the roads to minimize water consumption in dust control.
Road Construction and Maintenance. Under the agreement road construction and maintenance activities will be conducted to comply with WAC 222-24. The current Forest Practices Rules includes a requirement to develop Road Maintenance and Abandonment Plans (RMAPs), which were incorporated into the Forest Practices HCP (Washington Department of Natural Resources 2005). RMAPs are designed to improve the forest road systems on private ownerships to avoid and minimize effects to aquatic resources. Road construction and maintenance covered by the Forest Practices Rules are expected to minimize sediment to streams and minimize removal of shade trees near streams. New forest road construction requires removal of trees from the uplands but on small scale in comparison with other timber harvest activity.

Road Construction and Maintenance. Road construction and maintenance may adversely affect BCT in more than one way. Roads located in close proximity to streams can cause increased sedimentation and hasten erosion processes, especially during runoff periods. Another influence is the blockage of BCT migration in streams by poorly designed and placed road culverts. Road culverts can hinder upstream passage of trout, effectively isolating small populations (Xxxxxxx et al. 1991, Xxxxxx et al. 2003, Xxxxxxxx et al. 2001). Roads adjacent to and crossing stream channels currently exist along Big Wash, Hampton Creek, Xxxxxx’x Creek, Snake Creek, Pine/Ridge Creek, and Strawberry Creek. Stream crossing culverts currently exist on Strawberry Creek. Mining Activities. Potential threats from mining include sediment from mining operations, road building with associated sedimentation and migration corridor blockage, water depletions for dust control and maintenance activities, and hazardous material spills (Xxxxxx et al. 1991). Historically, mining severely affected many streams in the West. Potential mining effects currently pose threats on Xxxxxx’x Creek and Hampton Creek.
Road Construction and Maintenance. The Manager shall be responsible for oversight of road construction and maintenance reasonably required in connection with the Tree Farms (including activities required under Washington State’s Road Maintenance and Abandonment Planning rules).
Road Construction and Maintenance. School shall have the ability to construct and maintain an access road along the Southern border of Guard property at its sole expense. The road, ditches and drainage shall not exceed sixty-six feet (66’) in width and shall span across the entire length of Guard property. The road shall connect School Parcel 1 to School Parcel 2. <we should probably add an exhibit of the plat when done with a demarcation of where the road will lay and denote it here as an Exhibit>
