The pre-inspection report may include photographs, video logs or other recording devices showing the condition of the existing road prism.

(a) The proposed hauling operations would endanger public health, safety or welfare;
(b) Any portion of the haul route would experience extraordinary damage and/or accelerated deterioration to such a degree that full restoration would be required and the applicant does not agree to perform said restoration; or

(7) At any time during the life of a Type B4 permit, the department may require the permittee to modify the haul route from that indicated in the application or originally approved in the permit where modification of the haul route would facilitate maintenance and repair, prevent damage, or reduce impacts on health, safety and welfare.
(8) Upon expiration, suspension or revocation of a Type B4 permit, the permittee shall immediately discontinue all hauling operations authorized by the permit.
(9) At any time while a Type B4 permit is in effect, and for a period of 90 days after the permit expires, the department may perform periodic inspections of the haul route.

Reimbursement for such additional maintenance and/or damage repairs shall be limited to the actual cost to the department of all labor (including fringe benefits), equipment, and materials, plus fifteen (15) percent for administration and engineering.
