Snow Plowing Policy

Winter weather is upon us and the Lincoln County Public Works Department would like to remind the public of its policy for snow plowing and pulling out private vehicles.

1. Crews will start plowing as the event subsides. We do not plow roads during a winter storm event except in emergency situations. An emergency situation is defined as only an event where fire, police, emergency medical services are called upon to respond quickly to prevent harm to or loss of human life or property.   Damages to private property as a result of emergency opening of private lanes will be the sole responsibility of the landowner/leasee.
2. Paved roads will not be plowed until there is an accumulation of 2” or more of snow.
3. Aggregate surfaced roads will not be plowed until there is 4” or more of snow.
4. During periods of drifting snow, roads will be patrolled and plowing will take place at the discretion  of the area supervisors.
5. Plow routes are determined based on manpower and efficiency.
6. Canyon roads and steep grades will be sanded at the discretion of the area supervisor.
7. County equipment is not to be used to extract stuck private vehicles except in emergency situations. An emergency situation is described as an individual needing immediate medical attention or an individual being exposed to severe weather without assistance, etc.  The only exception is when a private vehicle is completely blocking the roadway, preventing the snow equipment from proceeding.
8. In accordance with the Laws of the State of Washington, private lanes will not be plowed except for emergency situations.
9. Removal of snow berms left in front of driveways, mailboxes, and etc. are the responsibility of the homeowner.

PLACEMENT AND USE OF SPRAY/NO SPRAY SIGNS

April 19, 2012

Lincoln County Public Works will begin its Annual Roadside Spraying Program in May (weather permitting). SPRAY/NO SPRAY signs are provided at no cost to you in order for you to restrict the application of foliar herbicides within County right-of-ways adjacent to your property.

The placement of these signs should be just off the shoulder of the road with the face of the signs facing oncoming traffic.  The NO SPRAY sign should be placed at the point at which you wish to have the application stopped and the SPRAY sign should be placed at the end of the area that you do not wish to have sprayed.

The use of these signs relieves the County of its obligation to control the noxious weeds within the limits as described by the signs.  The responsibility for control of the weeds shifts to the individual who placed the SPRAY/NO SPRAY signs.

The SPRAY/NO SPRAY signs need to be picked up ANNUALLY in order to keep our records current and to ensure that the signs that are placed in the specific area are clearly legible.  These signs can be picked up at the Lincoln County Department of Public Works Building located at 27234 SR 25 North, Davenport, Washington.
