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 46021 

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

of existing Road 46021. The first 400 feet is through a 15 year old clearcut. At the end of the 

clearcut the new road heads to the south along timbered sideslope steadly gains elevation at 

an average of 10% to 15%. The majority of the road is located on sideslope averaging about 

30 to 40%. 

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

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

averaging about 30 to 40%.
