Ducks Unlimited and Minnesota DNR present petition to alter JD 27 drainage alignment
Summary
Ducks Unlimited and the Minnesota DNR told the Murray County Joint Board they purchased property in the JD 27 watershed and have petitioned for a partial abandonment and reroute; they presented plans before moving forward with petitions.
Representatives of Ducks Unlimited and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources told the Murray County Joint Board on June 17 that they had purchased property in the Judicial Ditch 27 watershed and had petitioned for a partial abandonment and reroute of ditch infrastructure. The organizations gave a presentation to the joint board before pursuing the proposed petitions.
The presentation was described in the minutes as introductory; the transcript does not record specific engineering details, a board vote on the petition itself, or final action on the petitions at this meeting. The board separately approved a ditch inspection report and ordered repairs for county and judicial ditches, and a list of several petitions (2025-014 through 2025-017) was recorded in the ditch agenda section.
Further procedural steps for petitions to alter ditch alignments typically include formal petition processing and hearings; the transcript records only that Ducks Unlimited and the Minnesota DNR presented their plans at this meeting.
