Operations may also include employees, trail patrols, camp hosts or other trail volunteers who make public contact to provide help and information to ATV users as part of their daily routine.

ATV Project Sponsors must have a maintenance plan in place that includes how each trail or facility will be maintained, how often maintenance will be provided and the maintenance standard to be used. Maintenance includes purchase or rental of equipment such as all-terrain vehicles and excavators used to maintain ATV trails.  Sign replacement and trail guides may be included in maintenance applications. O&M projects on non-federal land that contain new trail or facility construction or significant trail reroutes or improvements, such as bridge installation need to consult with OPRD ATV staff to determine which additional forms will need completion. This will include SHPO review and the Environmental Assessment Checklist. State Natural Resource Agency Review might be required for major work. If new ground disturbing projects come up during the active grant cycle, SHPO review will need to be conducted and State Natural Resource Agency reviews may need to be conducted based on scope of work. Law Enforcement (LE)- Law Enforcement grants fund services and equipment to patrol areas open to ATV recreation. Incidental responses related to ATV use to areas outside riding areas are allowed, but should not be the main focus.
