Riverbed excavations concern county

Published by admin on Fri, 08/23/2024 - 3:43pm

Acting county engineer Matt Leonhardt talked to the commissioners at the Aug. 6 meeting about residents taking material from riverbeds. One area is near the bridge on Road 16. The bridge crosses the Greybull River (south of Otto).
“Someone has gone in there and excavated some material out around the bridge. Not right up on the bridge, but near it,” said Leonhardt.
County engineer Willie Bridges has visited the location to do an inspection. While not a huge concern at this point as far as affecting the bridge, it will be monitored.

Toward the end of the month, Roxanne Everhard was hired to fill the position. She has been working as a sub in Basin and Greybull, so it has been an easy transition and you may have already had the opportunity to meet her. We are very fortunate to have her on board.
