County approves an alternate haul route, and all or a significant portion of Property Owner's sourced
traffic no longer utilizes the above -described haul route and instead utilizes other portions of County
roads, Property Owner shall cooperate with County in maintenance of said roads which are included
within the new haul route. The type and method of repair will be determined by the County Engineer
or his representative. Repairs shall commence within 48 hours of notification by the County for any
