All logging companies and construction companies that haul heavy loads over our county roads are required to be bonded in order to use the county roads in Jefferson County. Our environmental officer went to these sites where the different companies were going in and out and took pictures and made reports. He then informed the companies that were involved of the ordinance that requires them to get a bond to use these roads.
