when removing slide debris. Know potential problem 

 situations and monitor these during periods of 

 precipitation. 



2. Grade the road surface as often as necessary to retain the original 

 surface drainage (either insloped or outsloped). Take care to 

 avoid side-casting graded material over the fill slope. Carefully 

 monitor surface drainage during wet periods and close the road 



if necessary to avoid undue damage. Restore surfacing on the road 

 tread and in the road ditch if necessary following damage caused 

 by operation in wet periods. 



3. Haul all excess material removed by maintenance operations to 



safe disposal areas. Apply stabilization measures on disposal sites 

 if necessary to assure that erosion and sedimentation do not occur. 



4. Prior to and during large storms or excessive snowmelt it is 

 beneficial to patrol roads to assure that road drainage facilities 

 are functioning. 



5. Control roadside brush only to the extent required for good road 

 maintenance. 



6. Close unused roads.

1. Properly prepare and be prepared to implement a spill prevention 

 and counter measure plan where necessary to prevent chemicals from 

 entering streams. 



2. Choose a safe site for pumping oil from supply trailers to distribution 

 tankers to prevent oil spills that might occur from entering any 

 stream or watercourse.
