Sec. 228.12  Access.

    An operator is entitled to access in connection with operations, but 
no road, trail, bridge, landing area for aircraft, or the like, shall be 
constructed or improved, nor shall any other means of access, including 
but not limited to off-road vehicles, be used until the operator has 
received approval of an operating plan in writing from the authorized 
officer when required by Sec. 228.4(a). Proposals for construction, 
improvement or use of such access as part of a plan of operations shall 
include a description of the type and standard of the proposed means of 
access, a map showing the proposed route of access, and a description of 
the means of transportation to be used. Approval of the means of such 
access as part of a plan of operations shall specify the location of the 
access route, design standards, means of transportation, and other 
conditions reasonably necessary to protect the environment and forest 
surface resources, including measures to protect scenic values and to 
insure against erosion and water or air pollution.
