Wayne County adopts revised utility permit with stricter gravel replacement requirement

Wayne County Highway Superintendent Kyle Huff presented a new Permit to Construct Utilities on County Right-of-Way, modeled on a form used in Nance County. Huff told commissioners that the current Wayne County permit was not strict enough and that county fees did not sufficiently cover impacts. A notable technical change discussed and approved would increase required gravel replacement from one load per mile to four loads per mile.
