3 B. After significant storm events, State Lands Personnel should patrol their assigned road systems and perform the following tasks: 1. Manual maintenance that can safely be accomplished with hand tools, such as using a shovel to dig out a plugged culvert inlet or using a pulaski to scratch in a waterbar. 2. Record the location and scope of work for storm damage repair projects that will require heavy equipment to fix. 3. Report to the Region Engineer any storm damage repair projects that warrant immediate heavy equipment attention due to potential loss of life or property. C. After significant storm events, the Region Engineer will compile the storm damage records generated by State Lands Personnel. Projects will be prioritized for repair and necessary permits will be obtained. The most appropriate mechanism for repair will be selected from among the following: 1. Northwest Region Heavy Equipment Crew 2. Timber Sales Contractor 3. Ordinary Maintenance Agreement Contractor 4. Public Works Contractor D. During storm damage repair, the affected road system will be inventoried for post storm latent damage. Any necessary maintenance will be performed while the heavy equipment is in the vicinity. FOREST ROAD ABANDONMENT Roads to be abandoned are shown on Exhibit A and shall be abandoned prior to the termination date of this permit. Definition: An abandoned forest road is one that has been physically altered in accordance with the guidelines below because access is no longer beneficial. Abandonment includes all treatment necessary to secure maintenance-free drainage and promote long term stability of the remnant road prism. Upon completion of abandonment, responsibility and need for maintenance no longer exists. Although road abandonment is not irreversible, such a decision needs to be thoroughly analyzed before being implemented. Private to State RUP Page 11 of 13 Road Use Permit No.55-091210 57 •
