Managing Water on Roads, Skid Trails, and Landings
http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/naturalresources/DD6971.html
Water moving over forest roads, skid trails, and landings causes erosion. Sediment that reaches water bodies can hurt aquatic organisms. Soil also makes water appear muddy and can carry in nutrients and chemicals. Water diversion devices can reduce erosion. In fact, by controlling water speed and volume on the top one-third of the road, erosion can be reduced by more than 65 percent.

Road Construction
http://www.state.tn.us/agriculture/forestry/lit/33.pdf
Timber sales require skid roads to bring logs out of the woods, and they often require haul roads for trucks. Roads can vary from a simple dozer trail to a graveled, crossdrained
all-weather road in rough terrain.

Shaping Roads and Trails
http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/naturalresources/DD6977.html
Water running down forest roads and trails can erode surfaces, moving soil and other pollutants into nearby lakes, wetlands, and streams. One way to prevent this is to shape road surfaces so water runs off of them into nearby vegetation, rather than pooling or flowing along the surface. This publication discusses options for road shaping.
