    $12,500 fine possible-placing culvert w/o a permit

    HELP AGAIN. I have identified the manufacturer of pipe it's Prinsco Inc. out of Willmar Mn. To prove my innocence I must proof the date of manufacture. I cannot find a date anywhere on pipe. It says 18" heavy duty, there's some AAHSTO and ASTM marks but no date. I called Co, they aren't any...

    The statute does provide for exemptions, which I will argue made it unncessary to get a permit.

In looking at the culvert it would appear that the roadway was excavated, the culvert placed, and then covered...

    I own property in Northern Wi.that has an old abandoned highway running through it. At least 35 years ago someone,either my grandfather or uncle, placed a black plastic culvert under the road to reduce flooding and erosion.The local DNR issused a citation on 11/11/2010 for placing 'new' plastic...
