4 Continuing Education Hours The proper maintenance of gravel roads in Maine is important for providing residents safe access to their properties and minimizing costly capital repairs to these roads over time; it is also a critically important part of protecting natural resources from degradation. In this training, participants will learn how proper maintenance protects water quality; about gravel road materials; how to evaluate a gravel road for maintenance needs; creating a road maintenance plan; and how to implement gravel road Best Management Practices. The class may include a site-walk on a local gravel road, which provides a real-life scenario for discussion of potential improvements and practices.
This training is intended to provide a resource for gravel road owners, town officials, contractors, and watershed organizations to better understand methods and practices for evaluating and maintaining gravel roads; the Maine DEP Camp Road Maintenance Manual
