You and each of you are notified that the
Board of Supervisors of Wright County, Iowa,
acting as trustees for Drainage District No. 93,
have received a petition for improvement on
said Drainage District No. 93. Said petition was

McClure Engineering to investigate said
improvement.
You are further notified that the engineer
has filed his report on February 16, 2015 in
the office of the Wright County Auditor with
six options. Option 1 consists of replacing the
existing tile south of the railroad to increase
the drainage coefficient to ½”. Option 1 has
an estimated cost of $480,238.78. Option 2
consists of replacing the entire existing tile to
increase the drainage coefficient to ¾”. Option
2 has an estimated cost of $910,531.71. Option
3 consists of replacing the entire existing tile to
increase the drainage coefficient to 1”. Option 3
has an estimated cost of $934,809.81. Option
4 consists of constructing a new lateral tile
within section 7 of Blaine Township and section
12 of Lincoln Township to provide a drainage
coefficient of ½”. Option 4 has an additional
estimated cost of $113,171.06. Option 5
consists of constructing a new lateral tile within
section 7 of Blaine Township and section 12
of Lincoln Township to provide a drainage
coefficient of ¾”. Option 5 has an additional
estimated cost of $121,741.16. Option 6
consists of constructing a new lateral tile within
section 7 of Blaine Township and section 12
of Lincoln Township to provide a drainage
coefficient of 1”. Option 6 has an additional
estimated cost of $131,220.74
The engineer’s report in full is on file in the
office of the Wright County Auditor for your
information. Said report has been reviewed
and considered by the Wright County Board
of Supervisors and has determined that the
repairs and improvements recommended in the
engineer’s report are feasible.
Improvement projects have the potential
to affect wetlands and farmed-wetlands. It is
up to each individual landowner to request
a wetland determination and submit it to the
Auditor’s Office. If the project will disturb
any wetlands that could result in the need for
mitigation, failure to submit a determination
could jeopardize any producers’ FSA
program eligibility. Landowners need to
present this information at or before the
public hearing, or no later than prior to
approval of an improvement project.
You are further notified that the Board
of Supervisors acting for and on behalf of
Drainage District No. 93 have set a hearing
on said engineers report for April 13, 2015 at
10:00 a.m. in the Supervisor’s Room at the
Courthouse in Clarion, Iowa.
All objections to the improvements or to any
matter connected with this hearing must be
in writing and filed with the County Auditor of
Wright County at or before the time fixed for
hearing. Any interested party may be heard in
argument by himself or by counsel.
This notice is published and mailed as
provided by law at the direction of the Board of
Supervisors of Wright County, Iowa, acting on
behalf of Drainage District No. 93.
