Board approves two Northern Natural Gas right‑of‑way permits

Ottawa County Board of Commissioners · June 8, 2026

Summary

Commissioners approved two right‑of‑way/utility use permits (permit #78 and #79) for Northern Natural Gas to bore under railroad tracks and install a sleeve on Nugget Road; staff confirmed documentation and site mitigation conditions.

The board approved Ottawa County right‑of‑way and utility‑use permits for Northern Natural Gas at two locations: permit #78 (roadway crossing under railroad tracks) and permit #79 (Nugget Road). A commissioner moved to approve permit #78 as submitted and the motion was seconded; a similar motion and second approved permit #79.

Staff noted that one location is on a dead‑end road and the other is expected to be outside the traveled way. Commissioners asked that the company provide restoration plans (rock replacement, fill material) and noted the railroad must grant access for boring under tracks. The permits were approved with standard conditions and the county retained signature pages for record and enforcement.
