Qué contiene
Resumen con IA When a bridge project causes extra flooding on nearby land, the Department of Natural Resources usually requires the local government to buy flooding easements from those landowners. This new law says the director must grant a special exception if every affected landowner signs a paper acknowledging that their property will flood during and after the work. This change affects cities, counties, and state agencies working on bridge construction or repairs. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1
Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill relates to backwater variances for bridge construction or repair. Under current administrative rules, if a bridge that requires a flood plain construction permit exceeds established backwater limits, the department of natural resources (DNR) may require the relevant authority to acquire from the affected landowners a flooding easement for the excess backwater. The bill requires the director of DNR to issue a variance to any state agency, county, or city for backwater requirements for bridge construction or repair if the director receives from all affected landowners who have not provided the state agency, county, or city with a flooding easement a written acknowledgment that each landowner’s property will be subject to flooding during and after the construction or repair.
