You won't believe this but I was told yesterday that the
county surveyor wanted to take a creek and make it straight and then dig the
banks to make the water flow away and down this creek faster. Now that is
exactly opposite of what we should be doing. We need the water to flow slow and
be absorbed into the ground and at the same time absorb the fertilizer in the
run off instead of it flowing into our lakes and causing more and more algae
growth.
BTW- it is the responsibility of the surveyor to maintain
drainage in the county not just maps. In fact the drainage is a much bugger
part of the job. Isn’t time we bring green technology to this area instead of
bulldozers.
Since the current surveyor has been in office since 1977 maybe he has not changed the way he has done business since 1977. It is time to bring new technology to this ignored county office. As a forward thinking engineer I will bring this office to 2017 and not stay 40 years behind.
