Gallup_Municipal_ROW-Public_Easement_Work_Permit.pdf

The documents are a Municipal Right-of-Way/Public Easement Work Permit from the City of Gallup, New Mexico, along with associated municipal codes and a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Permit informational sheet. The permit application requires detailed information about excavation, construction, and utility work within the city's public rights-of-way, including a mandatory area sketch or drawing showing the work site and traffic control layout. The permit outlines specific requirements for contractors, including traffic control, compaction testing, pavement repairs, and concrete work, with a standard 30-day completion timeframe.

The municipal code details permit fees structured by project type: $500 for commercial construction, $250 for residential construction, and $50 for noninvasive excavations. The city reserves the right to inspect and potentially restore street surfaces at the applicant's expense. Financial penalties are established for violations, ranging from $100 to $500 per offense, with potential additional legal consequences for repeated infractions. The accompanying U.S. Army Corps of Engineers document provides supplementary guidance for projects involving excavation, dredging, or fill materials in rivers, streams, arroyos, lakes, or wetlands, emphasizing the need for proper permitting to comply with the Clean Water Act.
