NO CONSTRUCTION IS TO COMMENCE ON ANY PORTION OF THE PROJECT WITHIN FRANKLIN COUNTY WITHOUT A WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE ROUTE FROM THE COUNTY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE. The Applicant agrees to give the County twenty-four (24) hours’ notice of its intention to commence construction activities on any lands within the jurisdiction of the County. Said notice shall be made in writing to the designated Drainage Engineer. Notice cannot be given until the approval of the construction project has been issued by the County Drainage Engineer and/ or Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors shall appoint a licensed engineer as its representative to inspect and approve all construction by Applicant that impacts County drainage facilities. All reasonable compensation, wages, mileage and other legitimate expenses for this representative will be paid by the Applicant. Said representative will pre-locate public drainage facilities, private drainage facilities where possible, inspect all crossings of public drainage facilities and shall have the authority to require the Applicant to excavate and expose the crossing of any County drainage facilities where the representative believe it prudent to visually examine same. Further, said representative has the authority to suspend construction by written order to the Contractor at the site and to Applicant, or it’s designated representative. The County shall provide Applicant access to maps or other information regarding the location of all known County drainage facilities, so that reasonable care may be taken by Applicant
to avoid un-necessary damage to said County drainage facilities. Prior to commencement, the Applicant shall furnish the County, or its representative, ¿nal plans showing the exact location of the proposed improvement and construction activities. If in the viewing of such plans it is determined by the County that such locations are in conÀict with present or proposed Drainage District facilities, the Applicant will be requested to propose an alternate route for its project; or otherwise ameliorate any possible conÀict. Drainage Facility crossings shall be constructed by Applicant as follows, in consultation with County Drainage Engineer representative. CROSSING OF OPEN DITCHES The Applicant’s improvement shall be installed in a horizontal plane as least ¿ve feet (5’) below design grade of the drainage ditch, as established by the County’s designated Drainage Engineer. The above depth is to extend to a point two (2) times the design base width of the ditch either side of the centerline of the drainage ditch, unless the existing base width is greater than the design base width. If the existing base width is greater than the design width, the depth is to extend to a point two (2) times the existing width. The rate of slope for transition from normal installation laying depth to crossings of drainage ditches shall not be steeper than 4:1. If such ditch crossings occur at points of outlets for Drainage District or private tile lines, or within twenty-¿ve (25’) of said outlets, such outlet facilities must be relocated to a point no less than twenty-¿ve (25’) from such crossings. Such relocations shall be at the expense of the applicant and as directed by the representative of the Drainage district. CROSSINGS OF DRAINAGE DISTRICT TILE LINES All proposed improvements must be placed under existing Drainage District tile lines. These requirements may be waived only upon the review by and approval of the designated Drainage Engineer. A minimum of one foot (1’) clearance below existing Drainage District tiles must be maintained. At all crossings of Drainage District tile lines by the proposed improvement, one of the following must be used: Replace the Drainage District tile with reinforced concrete pipe of the same or larger diameter than the existing tile. Concrete pipe is to be 2,000D strength (Iowa Department of Transportation approved) with standard tongue and groove joints. Pipe to have a minimum of three (3) bolt-type connectors at each joint; or Bore new installation, maintaining existing tile in an undisturbed case. The length of tile to be replaced by any of the above alternates is as follows: Eight inch (8”) tile and smaller; Six feet (6’) either side of centerline of proposed installation, measured at right angles to the centerline of the installation. Ten inch (10”) tile and larger: Ten feet (10’) either side of centerline of proposed installation, measured at right angles to the centerline of installation. Any Drainage district or private tile lines damaged by the construction of Applicant’s installation shall be repaired as directed by the County’s designated Drainage Engineer. The construction of Applicant’s installation, shall be carried on in such a manner as to not unreasonable interfere with, nor unreasonable interrupt the function of, any County drainage facilities. In the event it becomes necessary to temporarily stop the normal Àow of water in any County drainage facility in order to allow the Applicant’s construction and installation, the following shall be done by the Applicant: If the crossing involves a tile line, the replacement of tile with approved metal pipe or concrete pipe, in the manner approved by the County’s designated Drainage Engineer shall be performed as rapidly as possible. If the approved method of repair is impossible and the volume of water Àowing in the tile is suf¿cient
to create the possibility of crop loss or property damage, the Contractor will be permitted to temporarily block the tile line to prevent the Àow of this tile water into the pipeline, or tile line ditch. In the event that this tile line is so temporarily locked, the contractor will be expected to provide suf¿cient pumping equipment to pump the impounded tile water across the construction ditch to the undisturbed tile line. Such temporary blockages of said Drainage District tile lines will be removed as rapidly as possible, and any tile repairs caused by this blockage will be immediately repaired at the Applicant’s expense. If the crossing involves the crossing of an open ditch that is carrying suf¿cient Àow of water to make it necessary to place a temporary dam across said open ditch, such temporary dams may be constructed only upon approval from the representative of the County’s designated Drainage Engineer. The maximum elevation of this impounded water shall be determined by the designated Drainage engineer and all excess water must be allowed to Àow across the construction ditch through either a closed metal culvert pipe or by pumping. All temporary dam structures are to be removed as soon as the crossing is completed. The construction and removal of these dams to be in such manner that the smooth and ef¿cient function of the drainage ditch is not impaired, with all costs and damages borne by Applicant.
