Maintenance Narrative

Road will be maintained to facilitate travel by pickup truck at 10 mph. All culverts, ditches and drainage structures will be 

serviced, and road brushed. 

Operation Criteria

Highway Safety Act: No Jurisdiction: National Forest ownership 

 Traffic Encourage: Hikers, bicycles 

 Management 

 Strategies Accept: High clearance vehicles 

 Discourage: N/A 

 Prohibit: N/A 

 Eliminate: Motorized vehicles on closed section 

Travel Management Narrative

Maintain as maintenance level 2 during project activities. Close road after timber harvest (maintenance level 1). Road 

closure may include any combination of tanktraps at the beginning of the road, pulling some or all drainage structures such as 

culverts, and/or gating. This road will be further evaluated for the most effective and efficient closure method prior to 

implementation. Additional stream structures and road cross drain structures may be removed if necessary to address 

resource concerns.

Site Specific Design Criteria 

Road 46030 

ROAD LOCATION: The road steadily gains elevation between the beginning point at the 

existing Road 6415. The 6,100 feet follows the existing roadbed of a decommissioned 

temporary road. At about 6,100 feet the road leaves the existing decommissioned roadbed 

and heads west across a muskeg forest mix saddle area toward the next hillside that contains 

the timber units. At about 6,900 feet a stream crossing is needed using a 50 foot log stringer 

bridge. At about 7,400 feet until the end of the road, the road is slowly gaining elevation on 

timbered hillsided to access the timber units. 

 

WETLANDS: The road location crosses no mapped wetlands (BMP 12.5). Most of this road 

segment would be constructed as timber access road. 

EROSION CONTROL: An erosion control plan for construction and maintenance will be 

developed by the contractor and approved by the Contracting Officer (BMP 14.5). All areas of 

organic or mineral soil exposed during construction shall be grass seeded and fertilized (BMP 

12.17, 14.8) 

ROCK PITS: During periods of high rainfall (as defined in current Regional specifications), 

blasting operations will be suspended at quarries near potentially unstable sites where ground 

vibration may induce mass movement (BMP 14.6). 

STREAM CROSSINGS: 

MP 1.35 AHMU II Channel Type MM1 BF Width 17 ft Incision 13 ft Substrate bedrock, 

cobble Gradient 3% Structure 50’ Log Stringer Bridge Narrative: Mostly bedrock. No timing 

required.

Site Specific Design Criteria 

Road 46031 

ROAD LOCATION: The road steadily gains elevation between the beginning point at the 

existing Road 6415. The first 2,000 feet follows the existing roadbed of a decommissioned 

temporary road. At the end of the existing decommissioned roadbed the new road heads to 

the northeast across timbered land on a sideslope gaining elevation till it accesses unit 414. 

 

WETLANDS: The road location crosses no mapped wetlands (BMP 12.5). Most of this road 

segment would be constructed as timber access road. 

EROSION CONTROL: An erosion control plan for construction and maintenance will be 

developed by the contractor and approved by the Contracting Officer (BMP 14.5). All areas of 

organic or mineral soil exposed during construction shall be grass seeded and fertilized (BMP 

12.17, 14.8) 

ROCK PITS: During periods of high rainfall (as defined in current Regional specifications), 

blasting operations will be suspended at quarries near potentially unstable sites where ground 

vibration may induce mass movement (BMP 14.6). 

STREAM CROSSINGS: There are no stream crossings that require site-specific design 

consideration for volume of flow, fish habitat, or other design complexity.
