Noble County board approves two variances and reviews county drainage work and spraying program

Noble County Drainage Board · August 11, 2026

Summary

The board approved a property-variance request near Big Lake and allowed NIPSCO to place a gas line near Nature Hill School under conditions; surveyor also updated members on phase-3 tile work, a spraying contract (~$112,500) and upcoming hearings (Carter 34; another Willow Creek session).

Following the Willow Creek hearing, the Noble County Drainage Board handled routine business, approving a variance for a property near Big Lake and approving a NIPSCO request to run a gas line to Nature Hill School so long as the line is installed no closer than 5 feet below the regulated-drain flow line.

Surveyor Randy Sexton reported operational updates: phase-3 construction materials are largely on-site (except 300 feet of 15-inch tile), crews are preparing stone placement and a related project was expected to remain under a referenced $476,329.06 estimate (with a 10% contingency noted). Sexton said the county's spraying program is active under a roughly $112,500 contract covering 36 watersheds. He also announced upcoming hearings for Carter 34 (Aug. 24) and a follow-up Willow Creek hearing in early September.

Board members voted on the variances by voice vote and approved the surveyor's recommendations for the infrastructure requests and project management items.
