Re: [RC] OT - ever install a bridge or culvert to connect pastures? - Nancy Sturm

And in Oregon, you can't even touch a ditch without permission!

The bridge on our access road went out one very rainy winter and we
couldn't get a permit to re-build until the steelhead had stopped spawning.
Everyone on our road had to park at the creek, climb up into an irrigation
flume to cross the creek and hike  into out houses.  It was only a novelty
for a very short time.

But ... we replaced the wooden bridge with a railroad flatcar and have
never had bridge problems again.

Do check with your local authorities, is many juristictions you need a

bunch 

of permits to put a bridge over or a culvert in what is considered a

stream. 

In MT here we have been watching a legal battle that dates back a decade, 
and is not settled yet, over whether a certain water course is a ditch or

a 

stream.  If it is a ditch, the owner of the land can do whatever he

wants, 

but if it is a stream he needs permits to do anything and much let 
fisherpersons come onto his place.

If there is a good ford, your horses will probably use it in preference

to 

the bridge.  Also expect that that back pasture will get less use than

the 

front.
