February 3, 2022 Commercial Road Rules

Fremont -Winema National Forest

Objectives

Objectives of the Road Rules and Regulations for commercial use of roads under the jurisdiction of the Forest Service, located on the Fremont-Winema National Forest, are:

1. To describe the opportunities and limitations for commercial use of the National Forest road system.

2. Provide Forest Officers with a system to display road use requirements and to administer them uniformly with all commercial users.

3. Implement a responsive system for issuing permits or making other arrangements for authorizing road use to meet commercial user needs.

Definitions

1. Road Damage: Haul will be permitted when road or resource damage will not result. Road damage exists when commercial use results in:

A. Damage to the load carrying ability of the road. Examples of road damage include:

1. Subgrade pumping resulting in the contamination of surfacing by subgrade. Isolated soft spots or ruts that can be repaired with incidental loads of rock are not "damage."

2. Drainage deficiencies causing loss of surfacing, saturation of subgrade layers, degradation of surface course, or erosion of fill slopes.

3. Permanent deformation of pavement cross section or degradation of asphalt surface.

B. Leaving tractor marks upon any bridge or structure, including asphalt, concrete, wood, or metal surfaces.

C. Bending or breaking damage to bridge rails, guardrails, culverts, cattleguards, gates, signs or signposts, markers, or other structures.

D. Destruction of road prism including ditches, catch basins, base and surfacing, or other items not correctable by normal maintenance activities and equipment.

2. Road Rule - A statement defining road use limitations and traffic conduct expected of commercial users (or their agents), on Forest Service roads. Rules consist of General Road Rules and Specific Road Rules.

A. General Road Rules - Rules applicable to all commercial users of Forest Service Roads. The rule applies to all roads unless modified by written waivers (letter, permit, contract, easement), or by a Specific Road Rule. Additional requirements for road use and maintenance are listed within specific contracts and permits.

B. Specific Road Rules - Rules which modify or supplement the General Road Rules. These rules apply only to selected roads and bridges.

3. Waiver - A permit, contract, fire order, formal letter, etc., signed by an authorized Forest Officer or Representative, granting approval to modify a General or Specific Road Rule.

4. Commercial Use - The term "Commercial Use" is synonymous with the term "Commercial Hauling". Use of National Forest System roads for commercial purposes, including hauling of Federal or non-Federal products from public or private lands; hauling of livestock, other than stock or feed for stock authorized for use on National Forest System lands, where the hauling itself is the commercial purpose; or the transportation of goods, supplies, or patrons of commercial enterprises within the National Forest System that are authorized by contract, agreement, license, or special-use permit. Those providing public services under contract, that is, contract postal services, school busing, package delivery services, and so forth, are not considered commercial uses.

5. Weekend & Holiday - From April 15th through Labor Day, weekend haul restrictions will begin at 6PM on Friday and for holidays it will begin at 6PM on the day prior to the holiday.

GENERAL ROAD RULES for the Fremont-Winema National Forest

1. The Provisions of the Oregon Revised Statutes, Title 59 (Oregon Vehicle Code), relating to the operation of motor vehicles, are applicable to all Forest Service roads on the Fremont-Winema National Forest and are enforceable by Forest, State or County law officers.

2. Commercial use is not permitted on any Fremont-Winema National Forest road unless the user has permit or written authorization. Refer to special order issued under Regulation 36 CFR 261.54(c).

3. The load, weight, height, length, and width limitations of vehicles on roads shall be in accordance with Chapter 818 of the Oregon Revised Statutes. This rule is enforceable under either Federal Regulation (Reference Regulation 36 CFR 261.12(a)) or upon written notice to a commercial user to suspend use.

4. Waivers to Rules may be allowed when requested. Such permission shall be in writing. Permission may be granted and documented using the proper format established in contracts or road use permits or by a letter issued by a authorized Forest Officer or Representative. Five (5) to fifteen (15) days will be required to process applications for variance permits depending upon the haul route and the complexity of bridges or other sensitive structures involved.

5. Performing snow plowing or road maintenance without permit or other authorization is prohibited.

Snow plowing permits or written authorization may be granted unless otherwise shown on Road Rules (Reference Regulation 36 CFR 261.10(a)).

6. When nonskid materials are used on slippery surfaces, the residual material will be removed from the pavement surface in the spring by the commercial user placing the material, unless otherwise agreed to by the Forest Service. Chemicals will not be allowed without prior approval.

7. Damaging and leaving in a damaged condition any road or segment thereof is prohibited. Damage is exclusive of ordinary maintenance described in the contract or permit. Reference Regulation 36 CFR 261.12(c) and refer to the Definitions for road damage.

8. Commercial use of a National Forest road must be suspended when such use causes road damage or resource damage or when such use will result in unsafe conditions to others. Such suspension shall be effective when the user is notified in writing or by road closures per Regulation 36 CFR 261.54. The commercial user is responsible for repairing road damage and restoration of the road to its original load carrying ability, lines, and grades when damage is caused by commercial users' operations.

9. All Forest roads are subject to short-term traffic restrictions and/or closures by the Forest Service due to seasonal or unusual weather conditions (such as freeze/thaw cycles, heavy precipitation, etc.), user safety, emergency traffic, or when necessary to permit reconstruction and maintenance.

10. A National Forest timber purchaser is only authorized to use those roads identified in the tables attached to Timber Sale Provisions C(T)5.31- Road Maintenance Requirements, and is subject to limitations and specific rules imposed on these roads in Provision C(T)5.12, these Road Rules, and any outstanding orders issued by the Forest Supervisor.

11. No Commercial User shall block, restrict, or otherwise interfere with the use of a road unless authorized in a permit or written authorization. Reference Regulation 36 CFR 261.12(d).

12. All signing requirements on roads open for public use on the Forest will meet the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards.

13. All commercial users will comply with Forest fire precautions and road use restrictions.

14. Operating a vehicle carelessly, recklessly, or without regard for the rights or safety of other persons or in a manner or at a speed that would endanger or be likely to endanger any person or property is prohibited on all forest roads under the jurisdiction of the Fremont-Winema National Forest. Refer to 36 CFR 261.54(f).
