12. The Operator will be responsible for controlling noxious weed infestations on all NFS project <br />disturbance areas from the date of discovery up to the point of release of the CDRMS <br />reclamation bond and associated reclamation liability. Any herbicides used must be FS approved <br />and will be applied at the recommended rates by a certified applicator in compliance with State <br />laws. <br />13. In addition to, or in replacement of traditional sediment control measures, use of natural <br />sediment control measures such as, vegetative slash, surface roughening, straw mulch, site <br />containment and sediment control ponds will be utilized on NFS lands. <br />14. Any hay or straw used shall be certified as weed free. <br />Operations in Inventoried Roadless Area <br />15. The surface width of temporary roads will not exceed 14 feet, except in locations which require <br />curve widening. These locations must be identified on the ground and accepted by the District <br />Ranger. <br />16. Temporary road construction will use the end -haul or layered - placement construction <br />techniques. No uncontrolled sidecasting of material will be permitted. <br />17. All new temporary roads will be gated and locked, and closed year -round to the public. <br />18. All new access roads constructed for the sole use of this project will be decommissioned by full <br />obliteration when no longer needed for the project and reclaimed. <br />Roads <br />19. All road use and maintenance on the Forest Service system roads must be performed according <br />to Oxbow's existing Forest Service Road Use Permit. <br />20. Road Packages for existing and new roads will be prepared by an engineer licensed within the <br />state. The roads will be designed and constructed to provide maximum stability, ensure the <br />safety of the various users and protect the surface resource. The packages will be submitted to <br />the FS for acceptance prior to any construction activity. Best Management Practices will be used <br />in designing the roads and during construction. All roads will be upgraded or constructed to <br />USFS specified standards for either temporary or classified roads, as appropriate and accepted <br />by the USFS, with a design speed of 15 miles per hour. <br />21. Sections of temporary roads with roadway gradient in excess of 12 percent or soft areas, which <br />exhibit rutting in excess of 3 inches, shall be stabilized by placing an adequate depth of 3 -inch <br />minus clean crushed rock. The surface of the road shall be maintained to minimize ruts and <br />provide for sheet drainage across the roadway. <br />22. The FS officer may require surfacing of temporary roads where justified by conditions or traffic <br />volumes. <br />23. The Operator is responsible for using appropriate MUTCD traffic control devices when any heavy <br />equipment is moved on publicly accessible Forest System Roads, and will post warning signs, at <br />locations designated by the FS, to warn the public of increased traffic on roads resulting from <br />
