Marshall County Highway Department to Look into Dump Sites

Marshall County Highway Supervisor Jason Peters told the commissioners last week that he is researching sites to dispose of materials to be reused for road projects.

“The county is going to have to have a dump site which will have to be state approved,” explained Peters. “We’ll have to have an archeological study done and wetland lineation sites approved where we have that documentation for federal aid projects. They can dump millings or road gravel on those sites. That’s something that’s surfaced this year and we’ll have to have that done.”

Peters is currently looking at costs for two proposed sites for approval. He will present more information at a future commissioners meeting.
