Subject: RE: Haul route and county road permits - Tamsin Ridge
Attachments: County_Engineer_Haul_Route_Comments.pdf
Team,
Anika and I met the County Engineer's office yesterday about the haul route. The written comments are attached. Main points:
1. Special hauling permit from the County Engineer before any heavy hauling on county roads. No fee, but a bond of at least $25,000 per mile of county road used, Board of County Commissioners as obligee. They want the Roadway Use and Maintenance Agreement for Power Facilities signed before the first permit.
2. The Linnet Road bridge over Sallow Creek stays posted at 10 tons. No construction trucks over it, full stop. East Block traffic goes Fescue Road to Dunmore Road as Tessmer Coyle proposed. The engineer wants the Dunmore Road culvert at S-2 load-rated by us before we use it.
3. Frost season: legal limits drop 25% from December 1 to May 15. Heavy hauling then only on frozen ground with the engineer's approval. Quote starts. Our schedule has the battery enclosures and the transformer arriving in March 2025, so that has to move. Quote ends.
4. Driveway permits for the four construction entrances through the Engineer's office; the temporary-access option is fine for the two Fescue Road entrances. The township trustees issue nothing for Fescue Road, but they want a road use agreement and a pre-construction video survey.
5. Pavement: they expect Fescue Road to need a full rebuild after construction and will price it against the bond. Budget about $1.1M.
I have asked counsel to check whether any of this changes once the OPSB certificate is issued; the county says it expects the agreement either way.

The County Engineer wants the Dunmore Road culvert at S-2 load-rated by the developer before use; East Block traffic routes via Fescue Road to Dunmore Road.
Driveway permits are needed for the four construction entrances through the Engineer's office; temporary access option is acceptable for the two Fescue Road entrances.
