Will be used to allov/ traffic to safely pass, flaxlnum grade will be 127> 

 favorable and 8/^ adverse, except in special cases. Spj.- roads v/ill be 

 cut of f.fron the permanent road system upon coupletion of logging and 

 erosion control barriers constructed. 



5. Road Clearing 



All merchantable timber (minimuni is 16-foot log to a 6" top diameter) will 

 be sawed from the road right of v;ay and the logs removed from the road 

 prism prior to construction. Slash and debris v/ill be piled in openings or 

 covered at the toe of the slope to keep it av/ay from the standing timber 

 and facilitate disposal. All merchantable trees whose root system will 

 be badly undercut during road construction will be removed. Additional 

 clearing may be necessary on main and secondary roads to provide better 

 visibility on curves and intersections. 



6. Backslopes 



All roads will be constructed to provid? stable backslopes and minimize 

 erosion and soil movement. 



7. Drainage and Erosion Control 



All roads will be constructed with adequate drainage facilities which 

 vn'll be of a permanent nature on main, secondary, and branch roads. Drainage 

 facilities utilized will be such as to not damage fisheries. On fishable 

 streams, bridges are preferred over culverts; however, if a culvert must 

 be used, it will be installed so as to not inpede fish movement. On 

 temporary road crossing fisheries, drainage facilities utilized will be such 

 as to avoid any damage to said fisht?ry. In order to uilow for adequate 

 drainage, gravel and dirt berms will not be permitted on the outside edge 

 of roads. When constructing low standard roads in areas of unstable soils, 

 a system of shallow dips sloping to the outside, will be built at the time 

 of road construction. These dips should be approximately 100 feet in 

 length and should be one to tv/o feet belcj road grade at the lowest point. 

 Because of the resulting drainage problems zero grades roads should be 

 avoided when possible and roads built on flat ground will be turnpiked. 



All permanent roads will be reconditioned upon completion of current 

 logging operations, and all temporary roads will be blocked or destroyed and 

 reforested.
