Special Haul Permits can be issued for either a short-term time period or for the entire year. The permit holder is held to many conditions, which are listed on the permit and include requirements such as dust control and grading the route.  

Special Haul Permits become VOID during a County issued Road Ban or if the County determines roads are currently not optimal for hauling. When this happens, the HAUL INDICATOR Light on the County website is changed from Green to RED.  The Special Haul Permit holder cannot resume hauling until the Road Ban is lifted or the Haul Indicator Light is again Green.  

If a Special Haul Permit is issued, both the permit holder and Public Works Manager must sign the permit. After the permit is completed it is emailed to the permit holder and advises them that a copy of the permit (an electronic copy is acceptable) must be in all trucks hauling for the permit holder on the permit route. 

There is no fee for Special Haul Permits.

Long-Term Permits are issued when the permit holder has entered into a Master Road Use Agreement with Camrose County. 

Master Road Use Agreements are made when the permit holder would like to haul all year round despite road conditions.  This means they can haul during a Road Ban and regardless of if the Haul Indicator is Red. 

Once the agreement is signed and sealed by both parties, the permit holder must also provide a BOND to Camrose County attached to the agreement for the amount equaling the mileage of the route.  Each County mile of a route is $50,000.00, so Bond amount is dependent on how many miles of County road the permit route is.  (ie; 1.5 miles would require a Bond amount of $75,000.00).  

When the permit holder Bonds a route in this matter it means they are responsible for the upkeep of the route and that if there is any damage done to the route then the County can withhold the Bond to pay for the damages. Typically, Master Road Use Agreements are only entered into for a year and expire on Dec 31 of the current year. 

Once the Master Road Use Agreement is signed and the Bond has been secured, the Long-Term Permit is issued to the permit holder.
