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 each season, 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.
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. Direct mortality from surface disturbance Invasive species invasion, spread, and competition See conservation actions 1–3. See conservation actions 20–24. Increased dust emissions See conservation actions 1–3. Restricted pollinator movement from roads See conservation actions 1–3. Habitat loss/fragmentation See conservation actions 1–3.
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>
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. 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. 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 and Forestry Rock Pits Under the SHA, road construction and maintenance, and forestry rock pit activities will be conducted to comply with current Forest Practices Rules (WAC 222-24). The current Forest Practices Rules include a requirement to develop Road Maintenance and Abandonment Plans (RMAPs), which were incorporated into the Forest Practices HCP (WDNR 2005). The 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. Construction of new forest roads and forest rock pits will result in removal of trees from the uplands but this activity will be conducted on a small scale, similar to regeneration harvest activities.
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). (t)
Road Construction and Maintenance. The County shall provide road reconstruction and maintenance operations (“Road Operations”) through its Public Works Department as follows.
