Additional information
It should be noted that even though repairs to and maintenance of a road do not form part of the work (construction, improvement or closure of a multiple use road) that must be authorized pursuant to the Sustainable Forest Development Act 
, prior authorization under the Act is nevertheless required to harvest merchantable trees from the right-of-way during repairs or maintenance.
