	Vegetation around timber piling or timber backwalls can best be eliminated by scalping the area, sloping it to provide drainage, applying soil sterilants and priming and sealing with asphalt. These areas should be checked often during the summer months for effectiveness to prevent fire hazards and care should be exercised not to permit cut brush and weeds to be piled near the bridge.

	'''6. Dirt and Debris''' - It is important that bridge decks, sidewalks, curb outlets, drains, chords, and bent and pier caps be cleaned as often as necessary and thoroughly cleaned in the early spring to remove deposits of winter abrasives and chemicals. Decks should be cleaned whenever dirt or debris accumulates during the year and before the application of ~~linseed oil,~~ seal coats, or bituminous mats. Snow and ice control abrasives and chemicals should be flushed from the decks regularly. Dirt and debris on the decks, caps, etc., will retain moisture allowing it to penetrate the concrete. Dirt or other foreign material, in the drains or curb outlets allows water to remain on the deck where it could freeze causing a hazardous condition for motorists. Care should be exercised when cleaning the decks and outlets not to shovel dirt onto the lower chords, girder ends, or paved slope protection.		'''6.

	Cranes with clam buckets or grappling hooks and motorgraders with cables and hooks are usually used to remove drift. It is often necessary to use a chain saw to cut up the drift before it can be removed. As always, the safety of the personnel is of prime importance, but care must also be exercised to prevent damage to the handrail, curbs, piers, etc.		Cranes with clam buckets or grappling hooks and motorgraders with cables and hooks are usually used to remove drift.

	During periods of high water, the drift may be dislodged from the bridge and allowed to float downstream. Drift remaining after the high water has receded should be removed from the vicinity of the piers, bents, etc., and burned or removed. It should not be piled in the center of the waterway for the next high water to wash away. If it cannot be removed promptly, it should be cut up in approximately 5 ft. lengths in the hope that succeeding high waters will remove it or at least not permit it to catch more drift.

	'''1. Drift''' - Drift or debris that impedes the stream flow shall be completely removed as soon as practical for scour critical structures and with higher urgency than routine maintenance for non-scour critical structures. Collections of drift around or under bridges may alter the course of the stream, may cause scouring and undermining and may constitute a fire hazard. Drift shall not be permitted to become silted in as this alters the channel and provides a footing which will catch drift that would normally float past the bridge.		'''1.
