Tips

  • Road cuts must be paved within one (1) day of backfill (cold mix permitted temporarily if hot mix is unavailable, with hot mix applied later); a wintertime backfill option using compacted rock, geotextile fabric, and road base is available per the permit's Items to Review section.
  • Material and workmanship are warranted for three (3) years (1,095 days) from the date of final inspection and acceptance — the bond is not released until then.
