Maintenance |

Grading is usually done by a road patrol or road
grader and should only be done as needed to maintain the surface of the
road, repair ruts, restore drainage of the road surface or to maintain the
ditches for proper drainage and flow of water. Grading creates a newly-disturbed
surface which is prone to erosion so grade only those sections of the road
and ditches that require maintenance. When grading, lift the blade where
no grading is necessary.

Apply gravel to improve the surface, reduce maintenance
needs, and extend the season of use. |

Maintenance needs can be substantially reduced if road travel
during wet conditions can be avoided. Place gates at strategic points to
limit access. |
|
Avoid creating berms that channel all runoff water onto and
down a road surface. Retain the natural drainage of the road surface. |
|

 |
|
| |
Keep dicthes and culverts free of debris and clean catch
basins periodically, particularly after severe storms. |
|
When Grading, avoid cutting the toe of a slope. This causes
slope instability and can lead to mass movement of upslope areas.
