Forest Road Engineering Guidebook Control of noxious weeds Knapweed and other noxious weeds are found along many old logging roads and should be considered during deactivation assessment. Consulting a range agrologist may be warranted to minimize the likelihood of spreading these problem weeds through machine travel or seed disturbance, if scheduling deactivation work outside the seed maturity time is not possible. Deactivation hazard warning signs Before deactivation activities begin, install hazard warning signs at appropriate locations to warn potential users of the road (either open or closed to traffic) of the hazards that can be expected on the road on a continuous basis or at a particular road location. Where an entire drainage or system of roads has been deactivated, the signs can be posted at the earliest location to forewarn of the upcoming hazards. Sign maintenance can be a serious problem, especially during the hunting season. These signs may be destroyed as fast as they are erected. If this is an ongoing risk to road users, the person conducting an inspection should be prepared to replace them. Post-deactivation inspections and maintenance Refer to Chapter 5, “Road and Structure Inspection and Maintenance,” for information on the inspection and repair requirements for temporary and semi-permanent deactivation. Acceptance of permanent deactivation The ministry should inspect the road before accepting it as being permanently deactivated. The district manager may provide for a time period to elapse to test the ability of the deactivation work to withstand a normal cycle of weathering. Upon final inspection, the district manager may notify the person responsible for deactivating the road in writing that the road has been permanently deactivated.
