MINNESOTA LAW REGULATING DRAINAGE WORK

The State law is as follows:

160.20 DRAINAGE

Subdivision 1. Connecting drains to highway drains.

When the course of natural drainage of any land runs to a highway, the owner of the land shall have the right to enter upon the highway for the purpose of connecting a drain or ditch with any drain or ditch constructed along or across the highway, but before making the connections, shall first obtain a written permit for the connections from the road authority having jurisdiction. The connections shall be made in accordance with specifications set forth in the permits. The road authority shall have power to prescribe and enforce reasonable rules and regulations with reference to the connections. The highway shall be left in as good condition in every way as it was before the connection was made.

Subd. 3. Installing drain tile along or across highway.

When the course of natural drainage of any land runs to a highway, the owner of the land who has been granted a permit as provided in subdivision 4 may install drain tile along or across the highway right-of-way along the general course of the natural drainageway, provided further that there will be no diversion of drainage waters away from the natural receiving drainageway immediately downstream from the highway. Any installations shall be made in accordance with specifications set forth in the permit and any rules that apply to the installations. When any installation is made pursuant to this subdivision the highway shall be left in as good condition in every respect as it was before the installation was made.

Subd. 4. Conditions

(a) A road authority may accept applications for permits for installation of drain tile along or across the right-of-way under its jurisdiction. The road authority may adopt reasonable rules for the installations and may require a bond before granting any permit.

Permits for installation along a highway right-of-way must ensure that the length of the installation is restricted to the minimum necessary to achieve the desired agricultural benefits. A permit must not allow open trenches to be left on the right-of-way after installation of the drain tile is completed. A road authority that grants a permit for drain tile installation is not responsible for any damage to that installation resulting from the action of the authority or any other permittee utilizing the right-of- way.

(bl A person who installs drain tile along or across a highway right-of-way without obtaining a permit as provided in this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.

(c) The commissioner shall take no action under this section which will result in the loss of any federal aid for highway construction in the state.

(d) For the purpose of this section, "highway" means any highway as defined in section 160.02 which is located outside the corporate limits of a home rule charter or statutory city.

STANDARD CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

1. All construction details shall be entered on Form 30795-02 or supplemental sheets as required .

2. Installations shall be in accordance with Specification 2502 of the Minnesota Standard Specifications for Construction.

3. Any permanent signs or permanent traffic barriers (including crash cushions) installed on the State Highway system must be deemed crashworthy under the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) "Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware, 2016 (MASH-16)". Where work on or near the traveled roadway is necessary, proper traffic signs, channelizing devices, warning lights, and barricades shall be erected to protect traffic, employees, and pedestrians.

All temporary traffic control devices and methods shall conform to the Minnesota Field Manual on Temporary Traffic Control Zone Layouts, Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MMUTCD), Minnesota Standard Signs and Markings Manual, and the appropriate provisions of Standard Specification 1710. All temporary traffic control devices shall be deemed crashworthy under the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) "Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware, 2016 (MASH-16)" with exceptions as noted under MnDOT Technical Memorandum No. 19- 03-T-01 Crashworthy Requirements for Temporary Traffic Control Devices. (See memo at:

http:// dot a pp 7. dot.state. m n. us/ ed ms/ down I oad ?docld=2434220)

4. Unless adequately protected by a traffic barrier, there shall be no work within the clear zone, nor shall pipe materials, equipment or other objects be stored within the clear zone. If temporary traffic barrier is used, it will be placed according to the "MnDOT Temporary Barrier Guidance Manual" (December 2018). (See website at:

www.dot.state.mn.us/trafficeng/workzone/doc/Temporary%20Barrier%20Guidance%20Manual%2018l129.pdf) Any temporary traffic barrier (including crash cushions) must be deemed crashworthy under MASH-16.

The District Permit Section will determine the amount and type of deposit to be submitted. Minnesota rules require deposits be submitted in the form of a certified check, cashier's check, or surety bond made payable to the State of Minnesota, Commissioner of Transportation. Deposits must be irrevocable and cannot expire. A permit will not be issued until the deposit is received. Additionally, any expense incurred by the Minnesota Department of Transportation above the posted deposit will be assessed against the applicant.

22. In the event construction has not been started by the "WORK TO BE COMPLETED BY" date, this permit becomes null and void and deposit refunded.

23. After work on a project is completed the applicant must notify the permit office that such work has been completed and is ready for final inspection and acceptance.
