    The BCLH IRSC project area requires contractors to obtain a road use permit for accessing treatment units within a Forest Closure area. The process initiates with a minimum two-day notice to designated Forest Service contacts via email. Following approval, a road use permit and risk assessment will be provided, which must be completed and signed by all personnel entering the area. The completed documents are submitted back to the Forest Service for final approval. The Ranger or their designated representative will then sign the documents, enabling access during the solicitation period and providing gate codes. Contractors must carry these documents at all times to avoid citation by patrolling law enforcement. This procedure is essential for ensuring regulated access and safety compliance within the designated project area, reflecting the structured nature of government oversight in facilitating contractor operations.
