Summary: Second edition 2005, NRCS / Forest Service contributions—mountain access road planning, stream sedimentation risk, and “cheaper to build right once” framing. Includes tables on maximum sustained grades (e.g. under 10% for gravel, under 6% for natural soil/grass surface per extract), avoid steep grades at curves, waterbars / dips spacing vs grade, and erosion control integrated through construction.
