Drainage Easement Training
Tuesday, June 25
9:00-11:00 a.m.
Grand Chute Town Hall
Ever wonder...
- How other municipalities control easement grading after they have graded an easement and
then homes are built on the adjacent lots?
- What types of maintenance other municipalities perform and what is the property owner
supposed to maintain for drainage easements and/or roadside ditches?
- How often are inspections being performed? Who is performing them and what happens after an
inspection finds a problem?
Join us for a panel discussion!
- Learn what others are doing in response to the above questions and more.
- Share what has been successful in your community.
- Learn about easements from a legal perspective from a representative from Edgarton, St.
Peter, Petak and Rosenfeldt.

Things to watch for...
The Joint Finance Committee (JFC) actions
The JFC passed a motion to transfer the Commercial Construction Site Soil Erosion Control Program from the
DSPS to the DNR.
In a addition, the JFC also passed a motion requiring DNR to establish statewide uniform standards for
construction site erosion control and stormwater management. Current law requires DNR to establish
minimum standards.
This motion is being forwarded to the Legislature next month. Approval of the motion need to
be passed by the Senate, Assembly and Govenor Walker to become law.
If this motion were to pass local ordinances that are stricter than the state's uniform standards
would be void and no future more stringent municipal ordinances would be allowed.
