1 Surfacing 1235 m of natural surface track to create a forest road suitable for usage by 4x4 vehicles and forestry machinery. Please see theassociated Maps and Plans which form part of this application. This will be achieved by Reinstating the existing ditch excavated material to be deposited on the far side of the track, scattered thinly in the adjacent woodland. Clearance of overhanging trees and branches as required to achieve a 4m clearance above the footprint of the track surface. Branches tobe cut flush to stems as per best arboricultural practice. Minor work element as the majority of the track is clear. Repairing or installing new culverts at the locations shown on the map. Exact length of culverts to be determined by the contractor. Levelling and grading of the existing natural surface track as required. Covering the entire width of the existing track surface with a nonwoven, permeable geotextile membrane. Laying a minimum depth of 200mm of compacted crusher run on the membrane to form a solid base course. The material used should beof clean quarried origin. No man made or recycled materials will be used. Laying a further minimum depth of 100m of compacted MOT Type 1 40mm to dust to form a wearing course. This wearing course shouldbe a minimum width of 3.4m for the entire length of the surfaced area. The material used should be of clean quarried origin. No man made orrecycled materials will be used. Surfacing of small section at the locations shown to form TJunctions with the main track to allow vehicles to climb uphill away from themain track. These sections will be constructed as above to a length of approximately 10m2 Stacking area Creation of a stacking and turning area by levelling the existing natural surface open area and laying a permeable nonwoven geotextile membrane, laying a course layer of boulder to a depth required to bring the area up to within 300mm of the existing surfacedforest
