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 an important part of protecting our natural resources from degradation.  In this presentation, participants will learn how proper maintenance protects water quality, about gravel road materials, how to evaluate a gravel road for maintenance needs, and how to implement gravel road Best Management Practices. We will refer to the Maine DEP Camp Road Maintenance Manual (click here to access the manual).
