IRON MOUNTAIN — An update to the Dickinson-Iron District Health Department’s environmental health code will mainly affect contractors installing septic systems, according to information reviewed by the Dickinson County Board.

Wade Dishaw, the agency’s environmental health director, said public comment has been accepted for several months. The new Upper Peninsula Environmental Health Code replaces the Superior Environmental Health Code from 1978, he told the county board Wednesday.

It allows construction permit extensions of up to two years, as opposed to the previous one year, he said. Other variations are mostly technical, such as a slight easing of the required stone size for a drain field.

The county board endorsed the code as Dishaw, in response to questions, confirmed it can be amended as needed.

In other action, the county board:

— Received an update from Commissioner John Degenaer Jr. on the grandstand roof at the county fairgrounds in Norway. High winds Monday tore off much of the old metal roof just as Lake State Roofing workers started a project to replace it. Some framing repairs will be needed before a new roofing membrane is installed, but the $128,000 project remains on track, Degenaer said. It’s being paid with federal American Rescue Plan funds.

— Authorized Controller Brian Bousley to purchase a new dump trailer and accessories for the courthouse and grounds not to exceed $15,000.

— Agreed to provide airport ramp space to Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 439 on Sept. 23-25 for Ford Airport Days, which will include a fly-in of a B-25 World War II-era plane.

— Learned from Commissioner Ann Martin that the Dickinson County Library Board voted 4-1 recently to retain a book in its collection after hearing objections to the material from a group of patrons.

— Approved requests from Lake Antoine Park Partners to host numerous events at the county park, beginning with a movie night June 11 and running through early 2023 with Kites Over Awesome Lake Antoine on Feb. 25.
