Operations and Maintenance Continued E. Maintenance Categories for Turf Adjacent to Trails Categorizing the level of trail maintenance intensity for various routine maintenance tasks aids in the prioritization of what work needs to get completed, where it needs to be completed, and how much time and money can be spent on the completion of the work. The table below establishes guidelines for the level of maintenance for three different categories of trails.The goal in all cases is to achieve an optimal level of turf quality within the given"maintenance variable." The maintenance variable will be assigned to each trail at the beginning of the year based on the age of the trail, the amount of use, the current condition, and available funding. Over time, trails should be upgraded or downgraded depending upon re-evaluation of the trail.
