Anyone wishing to have an approach installed onto their property must file a request at the MD office. This request must be approved by administration, with the Public Works Foreman determining if a culvert is required, and if so, what size should be used.
The MD’s policy is that one approach be supplied at MD cost per quarter section. The standard size is a 12 metre top (40 feet) with bevelled ends. For a 12 metre top, the culvert must be at least 14 metres wide, including the 1 metre beveled ends.
Additional approach requests to a parcel are at the cost of the owner/applicant. Current culvert prices shall be used. Current government equipment rates shall be used to determine any costs charged to the landowner: hours X rate divided by total length equals price per metre X metres over 14 = cost to landowner.
