General. The Road Management Plan (RMP) may be submitted
						as part of a Plan at the option of one or more Timberland owners and is
						intended to supplement the harvesting Plan process through the provision of
						additional information specific to the long-term management of road systems.
						The RMP provides a means for addressing long-term issues related to the
						construction and maintenance of road systems, and analysis of the potential for
						cumulative adverse impacts to fish, wildlife and the Beneficial Uses of water
						on a broader landscape basis. The extent to which the RMP may be used as part
						of a cumulative impacts assessment for Timber Operations proposed in a Plan
						shall be based upon the extent and quality of information provided in the RMP.
						In evaluating cumulative Effects during the preparation of the RMP, if the RPF
						has adequately considered the factors set forth in the applicable sections of
						Board Technical Rule Addendum No. 2, no additional evaluation will be necessary
						to address these factors in the Plan.

					 fugitive dust that could be affected by road management activities.
(d) Identification, prioritization and
					 implementation of road-related activities that will:
(1) avoid or mitigate significant adverse
					 impacts to resources identified in subsections (b) and (c) above.
(2) reduce long-term management
