NRS 528.055

Control of erosion: Location and construction of skid trails, landings, roads and firebreaks

Known as the Nevada Forest Practice Act

The act spans §§ 528–528 (64 sections).

(Added to NRS by 1973, 1153; A 2019, 738)

1. Skid trails, landings, logging roads and firebreaks shall be so located, constructed, used and left after timber harvesting that erosion caused by water flow therefrom and water flow in natural watercourses shall be limited to a reasonable minimum that will not impair the productivity of the soil or appreciably diminish the quality of the water.

2. Roadside berms shall be constructed where necessary to guide surface water flow to the point of planned diversion required by NRS 528.0551 and 528.0552, and to prevent unnecessary erosion of fills and side cast material.
