Water Resources Technician – LTE
In 2025, Lincoln County’s Land Services Department initiated an assessment of culvert stream crossings on public roadways across the County. The objective of this project is to evaluate culverts based on their current condition and environmental impact. From this information, crossings will be prioritized for replacement. The findings of this project will be shared with the municipalities responsible for the maintenance and replacement of these structures. That information will allow road managers to plan for culvert replacements, determine the correct size and placement of those structures, and provide avenues for various forms of financial aid. This position will continue this effort by completing stream crossing assessments. Assessments will be completed by utilizing the Great Lakes Stream Crossing Inventory protocols which evaluate crossings based on three key factors: passability, structural condition, and active erosion. To learn more about this effort, please visit the Lincoln County website here: https://www.co.lincoln.wi.us/land-services/page/streamcrossing-inventory-and-assessment.
