Surface Operating Standards and Guidelines for Oil and Gas Exploration and Development Design Drawings and Templates • Complete plan and profile drawings are required for any BLM collector or FS arterial road (Figure 4). These drawings should identify grade, location, stationing, and all culvert sizes and locations (see Figure 7 for examples). • Standard templates of road cross-sections, drainage design, and culvert location and installation are required (Examples in Figures 3 through 6). • Mass diagrams and materials investigation and classification may be required. Construction Except for the specific items that follow, construction standards are given in the BLM Resource/FS Roads or the BLM Local/FS Collector Roads Sections. Construction shall be performed under the direction of a licensed, professional engineer as required by the BLM, or a qualified engineer for roads on FS lands. Excavation and fill construction will be performed to secure the greatest practicable degree of roadbed compaction and stability. Roadbed materials shall be placed parallel to the axis of the roadway in even, continuous, approximately horizontal layers not more than 8 inches in thickness. The full cross-section of the fill must be maintained as each successive layer is placed. Place successive layers of material on embankment areas to produce the best practical distribution of the material. The materials throughout the roadbed shall be free from lenses, pockets, streaks, or layers of material differing substantially in texture, gradation, or compaction from the surrounding material. Ordinarily, stones coarser than a 3-inch-square mesh opening should be buried at least 4 inches below the finished surface of the roadway. The operator should route construction equipment over the layers of roadbed material already in place and distribute the gravel evenly over the entire width of the embankment to obtain maximum compaction while placing the material and to avoid uneven compaction anywhere along the travel route. Use excess excavation material, where practical, to improve the road grade line or to flatten fill slopes. Other waste areas must be approved prior to placement of waste material.
