CONSIDER DUST BLOWING COMPLAINT ON LAND OWNED BY BRAD AND
CAROLYN DER00 - EzE4 S21, T3N, R67W: Bruce Barker, County
Attorney, noted a complaint was received from Kenneth Mayer
concerning property owned by Brad and Carolyn Deroo near
Platteville. Sylvia Gillen, Brighton Soil Conservation Office,
submitted a letter of findings and recommendations to Mr.
Barker, which has been included in the record. Ms. Gillen
stated there is sand at a depth of six or eight inches west of
Mr. Mayer's house; wheat which was planted on Mr. Mayer's
property has been fully covered with the sand; and a small
Ponderosa Pine tree was destroyed by blowing sand. Her
recommendations for immediate remediation included placing
crushed rock in all traffic areas; ripping of the field in a
north-east to south-west direction; and/or seeding to a cover
crop this spring, with fast-growing grasses. Mr. Mayer
explained this is a serious problem which should be dealt with.
He stated even though it will take time to prevent the problem,
a remedy needs to be started. Brad Deroo, property owner,
explained the history of this parcel of land and his attempts to
alleviate the dust blowing problem. He did plant pasture
grasses last fall; however, he did not know the name of the
specific seed planted. He explained his attempts to clean up
the area by removing broken-down corrals and hauling debris
away, and he discussed how the land was leveled to prepare it
for seeding. In response to a question from Commissioner
Baxter, Mr. Deroo said he did not consult the soil conservation
office regarding the proper types of grasses or crops on the
property; however, the seed company explained to him it would be
May before he would know whether the seed took. He asked the
Board to protect his investment by allowing him to wait until
May to decide whether further remedies are required. Mr. Deroo
said if he does not have a heavy stand of grass by May, he will
plant corn. Ms. Gillen stated the driveways have been covered
with gravel; however, the fines have blown away and more crushed
rock needs to be added. Mr. Deroo stated there is a huge area
in which the trucks drive, which is approximately 50 yards by 30
feet, and it would be very costly to apply crushed gravel.
Discussion ensued regarding the types of grasses and crops which
would be appropriate for this type of soil and the availability
of water. Mr. Mayer also pointed out there is a 25 percent
slope, therefore, all crops are not appropriate. After further
discussion, Mr. Barker instructed the Board members they need to
make findings and issue a citation or continue the matter to a
date certain. Commissioner Harbert moved to instruct Mr. Deroo
to work with and follow the suggestions of the Soil Conservation
Service to alleviate the problem and to continue this matter to
May 11, 1994, at 9:00 a.m. , at which time the progress will be
measured by the Board. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Kirkmeyer. Commissioner Baxter informed Mr. Deroo that if the
problem is not solved in the thirty-day period, he will be
required to take more drastic measures, such as ripping the
ground to alleviate the problem. The motion carried
unanimously.
