Retirement or Abandonment. The surface of the road shall be graded to remove all wheel ruts. Fenders and high shoulders shall be graded to allow run-off to drain into ditches and other structures. All bridges, drain pipes and culverts installed by buyer shall be removed unless otherwise specified in the contract or the buyer is noticed in writing to leave certain installations in place. Cross drains and culverts shall be replaced by earthen or log water bars as directed. All drainage ways shall be opened and deepened so as to handle major storm water events. The buyer may be required to install additional earth or log water bars or scatter brush between water bars. The above provisions shall be carried out as each haul road or portion is abandoned prior to completion of logging operations. All haul roads must be retired with an approved seed mixture upon retirement unless otherwise directed.
Retirement or Abandonment. If, at some future time, Buyer determines it necessary to retire or abandon any facilities to which the Plant is directly connected or indirectly connected through the Intervening Utility, Buyer shall advise Seller, at least one year in advance, in writing, indicating Buyer's annual cost of facilities required exclusively to accommodate the output of the Plant. Seller shall then have the option of paying Buyer for these annual costs or of providing alternate interconnection of Buyer's system acceptable to Buyer. Such alternate may be the purchase by Seller of Buyer's existing facilities, which have been retired in place, at the price set for such purchase in accordance with the PSC's final determination in Case 29318 or, if not so set, at a price to be negotiated by the Parties. In the event Seller elects to pay Buyer the annual charges associated with such facilities, said charges shall be recomputed as of January 1 of every year.
