Board hears updates on Blanchard, Bridal Gibson and Grazinger watershed projects

Oct 14, 2026

Staff reported plans to replace several tile runs (including a 3,700-foot Blanchard tile), to reuse parts and transfer stone from reconstruction to Blanchard, and to perform bottom-dipping and restoration work in the Grazinger watershed ahead of a planned bridge replacement on 600 North.

The full story

Timmerman described a planned 3,700-foot tile replacement in the Blanchard (Bridal Gibsonovia) system and said crews have completed bottom-dipping, hauling and beaver-dam removal on portions of the project. He said the county will reuse tile pieces from the reconstruction project and transfer about 50,000 tons of stone to the Blanchard work to reduce costs.
