Chapter V \u2013 Roads, sandpits and forest infrastructures
Division II – Roads
\u00a74. Stabilization of excavated soils and road embankments and diversion of runoff<\/p>\n
During the construction, improvement, repair or maintenance of a road, the water flowing at the foot of the embankments of a road, other than a felling or hauling trail, other than a trail not intended for motorized all-terrain vehicles or other than a winter road, must be regularly diverted outside the right-of-way of the road towards vegetation areas located more than 20 m from an open peat bog with a pond, a marsh, a riparian swamp, a lake or a watercourse.<\/p>\n
The maximum distance in meters to be respected between the diversions is calculated by dividing the number 500 by the percentage, in whole number rounded to the closest unit, of the road slope, or is calculated by any other technique ensuring that the diversions are in a sufficient number and laid out so as to prevent the erosion of the road. <\/p>\n
The maximum distance in metres to be respected between the diversions is calculated by dividing the number 500 by the percentage of the road slope as a whole number rounded to the closest unit.<\/p>\n
![\"Maximum](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/Art076Formule-2.jpg\" "\\"Maximum")
<\/p>\n
For example, if the road slope is 9.6%, the slope percentage as a whole number rounded to the nearest unit is 10. The maximum distance to be respected between the diversions is therefore 50 m, or 500 \u00f7 10.<\/p>\n
The distance between the diversions may also be calculated using a different technique, to make sure they are sufficient in number and laid out so as to prevent the erosion of the road. While this is not mandatory, we recommend that appropriate techniques be agreed upon with representatives from the regional office of the Minist\u00e8re des Ressources naturelles et des For\u00eats In the event that an alternative method is chosen, it must meet the following objectives:<\/p>\n Figure 76A<\/span> Diversion of water flowing at the foot of the embankment of a road<\/p>\n Figure 76B<\/span> Distance between diversions of water flowing at the foot of the embankment of a road<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Where the slope of the road to be built or improved is greater than 9% and the foot of the slope is less than 60 m from an open peat bog with a pond, a marsh, a riparian shrub swamp, a lake or a watercourse, the slope of the embankment and the clearing of the road must be reduced to a ratio of at least 1 (V): 1.5 (H) and the embankment must be stabilized using the techniques mentioned in section 73<\/a>. \u00a0 Figure 76C<\/span> Stabilization of the embankment of a road with a slope greater than 9%<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A person authorized by the Minister in accordance with section 41 of the Sustainable Forest Development Act<\/a> A person wishing to obtain authorization must complete the following steps:<\/p>\n The application must describe the situation that justifies completion of the work in accordance with standards different from those enacted in the Regulation. It must also propose replacement measures that will be implemented to achieve the objectives of the regulatory standards from which a departure is requested. Where the proposed replacement standards fall within the approval framework, authorization may be granted along with conditions that must be met when carrying out the work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In the case of the repair of a road whose slope is greater than 9% and whose foot of the slope is less than 60 m from an open peat bog with a pond, a marsh, a riparian shrub swamp, a lake or a watercourse, the slope of the embankment and the clearing of the road must be stable and not allow the carrying of sediments into the environment to be protected. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":95265,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":""},"class_list":["post-95454","cpt_radf","type-cpt_radf","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"This](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/lien_externe.png\")
