Stream clearing and brush removal.
A county board may
undertake stream clearing and brush removal on free flowing streams in the
county, with the consent of adjacent landowners holding title to the stream
bed or to land needed for access to the stream. "Brush removal" for this
purpose includes, but is not limited to, cutting of dead trees or brush on
stream banks and any open burning of such trees, brush or other natural
materials necessary to the cleanup of such a stream. With the approval of
the county engineer or superintendent of highways, equipment used by
the county highway department may be used in connection with such stream
cleanup.
