This document is a technical memorandum detailing design exceptions for the "BAND 266697 - Underground Utilities Rehabilitation" project, specifically concerning the culvert inlet repair on Route 0010 Entrance Road within Bandelier National Monument.

• Project: BAND 266697 - Underground Utilities Rehabilitation
• Location: Route 0010 Entrance Road, Bandelier National Monument
• Issue: Repair design for an existing corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culvert inlet with historic stone headwalls.
• Design Concept: Uncovered existing culvert inlet, regraded roadside ditch, and preserved historic stone headwall.
• Design Exception: Roadside cut slopes steeper than 2H:1V, not meeting current clear zone design standards (AASHTO Guidelines for Geometric Design of Low-Volume Roads 2019).
• Contributing Factors: Proximity of headwall to pavement edge, elevation drop to invert, substandard roadway width (22 ft), and a mature Ponderosa pine tree near the headwall.
• Mitigation Measures: Installation of drop inlet with flatter design slopes, reduced speed limit signs, guardrail, curb, and added edge stripe.
• Risk Assessment: Risk associated with the exception is considered low due to lower vehicle speeds, low traffic volumes, and lack of accident history.
• Approvals: The design exception has been reviewed and accepted by the National Park Service (NPS).
