Using large seismic trucks, crews will send sound waves into the ground to create a subsurface map. The work is part of Twin River\u2019s gas exploration project and will occur in 5- to 10-mile segments, generally moving from south to north.<br class=\"zw-br\" \/><br class=\"zw-br\" \/>Twin Rivers has begun operations in Wright County along state-owned highways; this agreement will allow them to move onto County Secondary Roads.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;10.50&quot;,&quot;fgc&quot;:&quot;rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;,&quot;ff&quot;:&quot;Liberation Serif&quot;,&quot;fw_i&quot;:400}\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\"><strong>Communication Improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;9.00&quot;,&quot;fgc&quot;:&quot;rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;,&quot;ff&quot;:&quot;Liberation Serif&quot;,&quot;fw_i&quot;:400}\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">Early in the meeting, county officials shared the problems encountered during Twin River\u2019s initial exploration, specifically when seismic crews moved onto secondary gravel roads without prior notice.

The PPV monitoring operator will work directly in front of each truck and remain in constant radio contact with the driver. Trucks will be GPS-programmed, with a map provided by Clemons detailing culverts, intakes, and bridge abutments, so they cannot operate in those locations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;9.00&quot;,&quot;fgc&quot;:&quot;rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;,&quot;ff&quot;:&quot;Liberation Serif&quot;,&quot;fw_i&quot;:400}\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">However, because Wright County has such extensive and aged drainage systems, the maps are not going to cover the entirety of the system. Because of this fact, Twin Rivers has named Wright County under its insurance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;9.00&quot;,&quot;fgc&quot;:&quot;rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;,&quot;ff&quot;:&quot;Liberation Serif&quot;,&quot;fw_i&quot;:400}\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">The policy covers future claims stemming from this operation, even years later, totaling $11 million aggregate coverage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;9.00&quot;,&quot;fgc&quot;:&quot;rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;,&quot;ff&quot;:&quot;Liberation Serif&quot;,&quot;fw_i&quot;:400}\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">In addition, the county will collect a permit fee of $110,000 based on the portion of the project within Wright County. These funds will go into a dedicated drainage account to repair any damage not covered by Twin River&#8217;s insurance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\"
