A County access permit is needed for every access to a County road.

B. Haul/Travel Routes 1.0 Established Haul Routes from the facility approved access point: 1.1 Exiting or entering the site: haul vehicles shall enter or exit the site at the approved accesses onto County Road 30 for further dispersal.

If County approves such deviation, haul vehicles will utilize paved county roads whenever possible. A deviation from the established Haul route lasting more than thirty (30) days or requests for two or more deviations within a twelve month period shall be subject to the terms of Section B.4.0. In the event that haul route traffic, in excess of 15% of the daily facility haul vehicle trips, utilizes alternate haul routes, the provisions of Section 4.0 of this Section B shall be triggered. 2.0 No Deviation from Approved Haul Routes: Except under the provisions provided in Section B.1.3, no deviation in the use of any roads other than those specifically authorized for use in this Agreement is permitted without the prior written amendment of this Agreement. 3.0 Haul Route Signage(If Applicable): Lessee shall install haul route signs, as per MUTCD standards, at all exit points of the Property which can be clearly seen by drivers leaving the facility and which clearly depict County approved haul routes. 4.0 Effect of Future Changes to Haul Routes: Any future changes to haul routes requiring use of unpaved County road may require dust control or paving of such roads, as defined by an amended agreement. In such circumstance, County will determine the proportionate share of dust control and/or paving costs to be paid by Lessee based upon then current vehicle trip counts that identify traffic loading due to Lessee's facility. The amount and extent of dust control and/or paving measures will be determined by site -specific conditions at the time, as determined exclusively by County personnel. 5.0 Off -Site Dust Control/Abatement: The Lessee is required to provide dust abatement along affected Haul Route Roads approximately two to five times per year, as determined by the County. County will determine the proportionate share of dust control to be paid by Lessee.
