Staff: DNR does not require permits for tile-only recctor drain work; petition remains under review
Summary
Staff told the board that Indiana DNR does not require permits for tile-only drain reconstruction; the recctor drain petition remains on the table while staff confirm petition signatories and landowner support.
The board discussed a petition to reconstruct the recctor drain that traverses significant wetlands. County staff reported back that the Department of Natural Resources does not require permits for work that consists entirely of subsurface tile (no open ditch), though surveyor permit procedures apply to open drains. That clarification reduces some of the mitigation cost uncertainty for reconstruction.
Surveyor staff will follow up with petition signatories — including one potentially withdrawing (Mr. Cox) — before proceeding. Board members agreed to leave the petition on the table for another month to confirm the required landowner support percentage and any outstanding technical details.
