Rice Judicial Ditch No. 38 Reroute

The Le Sueur and Rice County Joint Drainage Authority and Township of Kilkenny partnered with ISG to reroute Spur 3 of Rice Judicial Ditch 38 to prevent infrastructure failure. The road adjacent to the ditch had safety concerns due to ditch undercutting, erosion, and sediment export. ISG included a bend in the design to mimic natural channels, reduce slope, and minimize velocity and erosion. This solution addressed long-term surface water impacts, resolved the road’s safety concerns, and promotes ecological health.

  • Design increased channel length by 18% to 460 lineal feet
  • Soil in downstream water reduced by 39 tons annually
  • Channel seeding for natural vegetation and fish passage contribute to sustainability
  • City and drainage authority partnership
