Bob Aloi from Territorial Engineering brought forward information to the Marshall County Commissioners about a drainage issue at Jellystone Park.
Aloi said that the park has suffered flooding issues due to poor drainage for several years, mainly by Avalanche Avenue. According to Aloi, at the entrance of the park, on the Plymouth-LaPorte Trail, there is an issue with an overflow of ditches as well as on Redwood Road. Aloi isn’t exactly sure where the water inflow is occurring but he’s wondering what the county can do to help in the process.
He’s done drainage studies on all angles of the park including retention pond analysis, but he wants to rule out all possibilities before he comes to a solid conclusion.
The commissioners encouraged Aloi to speak to Highway Supervisor Jason Peters or Marshall County Surveyor Craig Cultice about what their departments can do to maybe help clean ditches to alleviate the issue.
