The document is a Municipal Right-of-Way/Public Easement Work Permit from the City of Gallup, New Mexico, along with accompanying municipal codes related to excavation and public ways. The permit is a standard form for contractors, utilities, government agencies, and property owners seeking to perform work within city right-of-ways, requiring detailed documentation including a work site traffic control plan, area sketches, and traffic control layout. The permit outlines specific requirements for excavation, including compaction testing, pavement restoration, concrete repairs, and work completion within thirty (30) days.

The municipal code section details permit fees and penalties, with fees ranging from $50 for noninvasive excavations to $500 for commercial construction. The city reserves the right to repair and restore street surfaces if the applicant fails to do so, with potential charges billed to the applicant. Liquidated damages of $100 per day can be imposed if streets or alleys are closed longer than thirty days. Violations of excavation provisions can result in fines escalating from $100 to $500 for successive offenses, with potential additional legal penalties. The document also includes an informational page from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about Section 404 permits for excavation, dredging, or placing fill in rivers, streams, arroyos, lakes, or wetlands.
