Nonetheless, does he have the right to tear ditches wherever he wants without my permission? What are his rights as far as road maintenance?

Under the laws of all states in this country the tems and conditions set forth in a recorded right of way ordinarily control the obligations and duties allowed as to the right of way. If the terms are not set forth in it, then the laws of the states allow ordinary repair and maintenance.
