On June 22, 2026, the Tuscarawas County Board of Commissioners approved two Floodplain Development Permits for EOG Resources to install temporary water lines and pumps in county waterways.
Floodplain Coordinator Lee Carl Finley submitted the applications. The first permit (Resolution 457‑2026) allows installation of a temporary water line and pump in Conotton Creek at the intersection with New Cumberland Road NE in Warren Township. The second permit (Resolution 458‑2026) covers installation of a temporary water line and pump in Stillwater Creek within the Carlisle Bottoms area of Rush Township.
Both motions were moved by Commissioner Mitch Pace and seconded by Commissioner Greg Ress. The board recorded identical votes on each permit: Greg Ress, yes; Mitch Pace, yes; Kristin Zemis, absent. The resolutions were recorded as approved and will proceed as submitted by the county floodplain office.
The permits authorize temporary construction activity in flood‑plain areas; the filings were presented to the commissioners by Lee Carl Finley, identified in the record as Floodplain Coordinator. The meeting minutes do not record any substantive discussion, conditions, or public comment attached to the approvals.
Because the actions were recorded as permits rather than final construction inspections or long‑term authorizations, any on‑the‑ground work would proceed under the conditions of the approved permits and any applicable state or county regulation. The minutes do not list additional mitigation measures or subsequent permitting steps in the record.
