WEBSTER COUNTY POLICY
ROAD CROSSINGS FOR MANURE APPLICATION USING HOSES
OR PIPELINE
November 20, 2007
The
purpose of this policy is to provide a guideline for response to requests to
cross the Webster County Secondary Road System (County) with hoses or pipelines
for application of liquid manure from livestock facilities.
This
policy is intended only for hoses and pipelines directly crossing County roads.
It is not to be interpreted to allow the placement of hoses or pipelines in
County road right-of-way in lieu of easements on private property.
The Applicant must meet the following conditions:
1.
Applicant shall
complete a Webster County Manure Application Road Crossing Permit Application form
and submit it to the Webster County Engineer’s Office. Attachments to said
Permit Application shall include a map showing the requested location and a
spill prevention and control plan. The spill prevention and control plan should
specify which drainage facilities will be protected from a potential liquid
manure spill and how they will be protected.
2.
The Webster County
Engineer (Engineer) will review the Permit Application and visit the proposed
site to determine if existing drainage facilities may be utilized for the
crossing. If existing drainage facilities are not appropriate for the crossing,
the Engineer will then determine if a new road crossing is appropriate. If
existing drainage facilities and a new road crossing are not appropriate, the
Permit Application will be denied. If the Engineer determines that an existing
drainage facility can be utilized for the crossing but a new crossing is a
better option, the crossing shall be made through a new crossing.
3.
New crossings shall
be constructed with corrugated metal pipe- minimum 15” diameter.
4.
Webster County
Secondary Roads Department (Secondary Roads) will furnish and install the
culvert for a new crossing. Applicant shall reimburse Secondary Roads for all
costs of the culvert and installation.
5.
Secondary Roads
will maintain the culvert for a new crossing. Applicant shall reimburse
Secondary Roads for all costs of the maintenance.
6.
Applicant is
responsible for all costs in connection with any manure spills.
7.
Crossings of non-paved
roads may be open cut, but crossing of paved roads shall be bored.
8.
Notification shall
be made to the Webster County Engineer’s Office not less than 48 hours prior to
any time that Applicant plans to use County road right-of-way for manure
application. Applicant shall have a valid certificate of insurance in the
amount of $750,000 on file with the Webster County Engineer’s Office before
manure application may be started.
9.
Applicant shall
remove hoses or pipelines form the crossing culvert and County road
right-of-way with 48 hours following each use of the hose or pipeline for
application.
10.
Applicant’s failure
to comply with any of the conditions above or their spill prevention and
control plan will result in the revocation of their permit.
11.
The above policy
will continue in effect until modified or revised by further Webster County
Board of Supervisors action.
APPROVED this 20th day of November,
2007.
