Glossary

 


• Close or restrict traffic on roads whenever possible - this will allow roads to stabilize and revegetate.
• Seeding and fertilizing, mulching or otherwise stabilizing critical segments of temporary and permanent roads will accelerate revegetation, ensure road utility in the future and protect nearby watercourses. Seeding rates and types are listed in Appendix 6.

Note: Spacing recommendations for cross-drain culverts, cross-drain ditches, water turnouts, broad base dips and water bars have been computed for a wide range of road slopes and are provided in Appendix 7. Appendix 8 provides illustrations of the design and installation for each of these drainage practices.
