Commission issues permit to finalize Fugleberg Drain work after water‑board review
Summary
After hearing from water‑board and engineering staff about drainage, cattail removal, and culvert condition, the commission voted to issue a county utility/flow replacement permit to finalize work at the Fugleberg Drain; commissioners said they could add stipulations to the permit if needed.
The commission discussed the Fugleberg Drain work—site elevations, cattail obstruction, and whether the culvert had been altered—and moved to issue a county permit requested by the state water board to finalize the project.
Speaker 3 explained that the water board had issued its own permit and asked the commission to provide a county permit so “all the bases are covered.” After discussion about elevations and whether the culvert had been lowered in prior years, Speaker 3 moved “to approve the permit from the commission to the Fugleberg Drain to, I guess, finalize what's been done up to this point.” The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Commissioners noted they could place stipulations on a county permit if they wanted to limit future work or set conditions.
The record shows the county will sign and mail the permit to the water board per normal procedure and staff will retain a copy. Commissioners asked staff to ensure Corps and water‑board documentation were attached and to confirm any required elevations before proceeding with additional construction.
