NON-MUNICIPAL ROADS MAINTENANCE
AND CONSTRUCTION POLICY
312
312.NO
To identify the level of road maintenance that the Township of Ear Falls will provide to roads that are
not owned by the municipality.
ROADS COVERED UNDER THIS POLICY
The roads covered by this Policy are identified in Schedule "A" and shall not be deemed to have been
assumed by the municipality.
SUMMER MAINTENANCE
Typical Summer Maintenance will be confined to grading. Grading will be done monthly from May
to September, or as determined by the Manager of Public Service & Operations subject to weather
and operational considerations.
WINTER MAINTENANCE
Typical Winter Maintenance will include snow plowing and sanding. Snow plowing will be last
priority, following the completion of plowing municipally owned roads. Snow plowing will not
normally be done where the accumulation is less than 5 centimeters/ 2 inches. Sanding will be
completed as deemed necessary by the Manager of Public Service & Operations. Generally this will
be at intersections only.
If roads are added to the Winter Maintenance Listing a turnaround must be provided at the expense of
the property owners situated on the road.
Roads which are not maintained during winter will not be opened in spring.
EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE
Emergency maintenance may be carried out where a non-municipal road has deteriorated to an unsafe
condition at the discretion of the Manager of Public Service & Operations or Administrator.

GRAVEL APPLICATION
312
312.NO
The Township may apply gravel to non-municipal roads subject to Council approved budget
allocations. If a budget allocation is approved, material will be applied to non-municipal roads based
on a prioritization process as follows:
-
1st based on Road Conditions (A municipal analysis will be completed using the Pavement
Surface Evaluation and Rating (P ASER) System)
-
2nd based on Number of Properties serviced by the Road (As defined in the Township's
Assessment Roll Book)
-
3rd based on Total Tax Value of Properties serviced by the Road (As defined in the
Township's Assessment Roll Book)
These three criteria would be used to develop a priority road listing. The listing would then be used to
determine which roads would be subject to the application of gravel. The quantity of gravel and
specific application locations will be determined by the Manager of Public Service & Operations in a
manner that improves the condition of the greatest number of non-municipal roads.
The Municipality's intention in applying gravel to non-municipal road surfaces is to improve the
condition of non-municipal roads, but is not intended to bring all roads up to a municipal standard.
The Township of Ear Falls recognizes that non-municipal roads service municipal taxpayers and local
businesses and that some level of service is reasonable within municipal responsibilities, however,
municipally owned assets will retain their priority over non-municipal roads.
CONSTRUCTION I ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Any construction or road improvements will be at the cost of the property owner(s) whose property is
accessed from the road being improved.
LAND TENURE
This Policy was initially intended to address portions of non-municipal roads that overlie crown land,
however in some instances non-municipal roads are privately owned, leased, licenced or have a
combination of different land tenures over the length of the road. The ownership of these roads
should be considered in all decisions related to the treatment of non-municipal roads as different
processes may need to be applied to reflect different liability associated with municipal work. A
written agreement is required for the municipality to complete work on private property and must be
authorized by Council prior to any work or municipal equipment being used on private property.
