Overview
Hay cutting permits allow the Alberta government to track requests and coordinate activities that may occur within the highway right-of-way, such as highway:
- construction projects
- maintenance activities, such as mowing and vegetation control
Permit conditions
- During haying operations, all bales and equipment within the highway right-of-way must be stored as far away from the road surface as possible.
- All operations must be completed between August 15 and September 15, depending on your location in the province (contact your local District Office for more information).
- All bales and equipment must be removed from the right-of-way once haying is completed.
- Due to potential hazards of working within a highway right-of-way, insurance may also be required.
