I have an acreage out in the middle of nowhere South Dakota that I have contemplated building a grass on strip for years. This area has alot of small ponds which vary greatly in fill depending on rainfall. Well, it so happens that this past year has been a banner year for rainfall and the dirt section line road that goes by my property is covered in several feet of water right at the end point of the property. From past experience, it will take several years before this amount of water receeds to the point where the road is passable again. When the road is dry, I would guess there might be 1 or 2 vehicles that drive down it on any given day (local farmers or hunters), so it is a rarely used road to begin with.
Which agency should be contacted to ask whether this short stretch of road could be used as an airstrip during this time when it is not passable? Based on the experience of folks here, is it common to get permission to do this under circumstances like this? I'm sure it varies widely by state and county, but has anyone here ever received such permission, and if so, how did you go about it? Thanks
