Installation and/or maintenance of signs, kiosks, information boards, access roads, trails, road closures, and parking areas. You should use this WE for trespass signing rather than WE# 26: Investigate Trespass. Also, WE# 61: Maintain Hatchery, should be used for this kind of work pertaining to hatchery operations and WE# 38: Improve Road, should be used for road work associated with habitat improvement by reducing erosion.

• Installation and/or maintenance of the applicable structure(s) listed above.

Rule 1: Any significant ESA, NEPA, permitting, or other environmental compliance work should be split out under WE# 165, Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation.

Example:

WE: Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation
WE Title: Obtain local permits and ESA compliance associated with the construction of parking area at Jones Conservation Area.
