Jefferson County Drainage Board

More from the constested case hearing...

___________________________

DNR reached out to this entity in hopes that the drainage board could simply “veto” the RKLD’s water level request and save the DNR much time and resources.

DNR staff researched previous contested case hearings pertaining to water level increases and cited drainage districts as a potential roadblock to RKLD.

A July 28, 2004 email between the Wetlands Club and DNR indicates the DNR is requesting the LKWA to make further contact with local farmers, drainage boards, land conservation groups and other groups to see if they will comment in writing against the RKLD water level request.

Testimony from DNR Sue Joseff on April 10, 2006.
