Remove slides from <br />ditches and the roadway. Repair fill-failures, in accordance with Clause 4-6 EMBANKMENT SLOPE <br />RATIO, with selected material or material approved by the Contract Administrator. Remove overhanging <br />material from the top of cut slopes. <br />● Waste material from slides or other sources shall be placed and compacted in stable locations identified in <br />the road plan or approved by the Contract Administrator, so that sediment will not deliver to any streams or <br />wetlands. <br />● Slide material and debris shall not be mixed into the road surface materials, unless approved by the <br />Contract Administrator. <br />SURFACE: <br />● Grade and shape the road surface, turnouts, and shoulders to the original shape on the TYPICAL SECTION <br />SHEET. Inslope or outslope as directed to provide a smooth, rut-free traveled surface and maintain surface <br />water runoff in an even, unconcentrated manner. <br />● Blading shall not undercut the backslope or cut into geotextile fabric on the road. <br />● If required by the Contract Administrator, water shall be applied as necessary to control dust and retain fine <br />surface rock. <br />● Surface material shall not be bladed off the roadway. Replace surface material when lost or worn away, or <br />as directed by the Contract Administrator. <br />● Remove shoulder berms, created by grading, to facilitate drainage, except as marked or directed by the <br />Contract Administrator. <br />● For roads with geotextile fabric: spread surface aggregate to fill in soft spots and wheel ruts (barrel spread) <br />to prevent damage to the geotextile fabric. <br />DRAINAGE: <br />● Prevent silt bearing road surface and ditch runoff from delivering sediment to any streams or wetlands. <br />● Maintain rolling dips and drivable waterbars as needed to keep them functioning as intended. <br />● Maintain headwalls to the road shoulder level with material that will resist erosion. <br />● Maintain energy dissipators at culvert outlets with non-erodible material or rock. <br />● Keep ditches, culverts, and other drainage structures clear of obstructions and functioning as intended. <br />● Inspect and clean culverts at least monthly, with additional inspections during storms and periods of high <br />runoff. This shall be done even during periods of inactivity. <br />PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE: <br />● Perform preventative maintenance work to safeguard against storm damage, such as blading to ensure <br />correct runoff, ditch and culvert cleaning, and waterbar maintenance. <br />TERMINATION OF USE OR END OF SEASON: <br />● At the conclusion of logging operations, ensure all conditions of these specifications have been met. <br /> <br />DEBRIS:
