The obligations of a RUP

Once a road is constructed, road maintenance includes any activities (routine, upgrading, structural repair or replacement, etc.) carried out until a forest service road is deactivated (permanent). The road use permit holder selected by the district manager as being required to maintain the road is authorised to carry out all maintenance works. In the case of stream structure replacement; building a bridge, or installing a major culvert or fish stream culvert, the district manager must be notified and may specify conditions. These obligations are outlined in Section 79 of the Forest Planning and Practices Regulation.

Obligations between Primary and Secondary Road Use Permit Holders

All industrial users are required by legislation to notify the user responsible for maintenance (as determined by the district manager) and contribute to the cost of maintenance. Entering into an agreement is not a condition of receiving a road use permit. Any disputes between road users for maintenance can be resolved by a third party or through a more formal process, such as the Commercial Arbitration Act. The district manager is no longer named in legislation as being responsible for resolving road maintenance disputes, though the district manager may still provide that service in individual cases, if all parties agree.
