ROAD DEPARTMENT, Maintenance agreement with North Cass Water Resource District for culvert/drop structure under County Highway 31 Jason Benson, County Engineer, was present. He said several years ago the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) constructed storm water drop structures as part of an erosion control improvement project in Section 14 of Wiser Township along County Highway 31. The North Cass Water Resource District (WRD) served as sponsor of the project, and the NRCS maintained the site; however, the maintenance period is due to expire. The drop structure is primarily a culvert located under the highway for water to be discharged into the river. The county will maintain the structure with annual inspections to be completed by the WRD. The commission approved a similar agreement in 2012 with Southeast Cass WRD for two sites along Highway 31. Mr. Benson does not anticipate any maintenance that will be needed at this site for several years.
