Or. Admin. R. 629-625-0700 - Wet Weather Road Use
(1) The
purpose of this rule is to reduce delivery of fine sediment to streams caused
by the use of forest roads during wet periods that may adversely affect
downstream water quality in Type F, Type SSBT or Type D streams.
(2) Operators shall use durable surfacing or
other effective measures that resist deep rutting or development of a layer of
mud on top of the road surface on road segments that drain directly to streams
on active roads that will be used for log hauling during wet periods.
(3) Operators shall cease active road use
where the surface is deeply rutted or covered by a layer of mud and where
runoff from that road segment is causing a visible increase in the turbidity of
Type F, Type SSBT or Type D streams as measured above and below the effects of
the road.
