Prairie Creek Drainage Plans Approved in Blackford County
From the Blackford County Drainage Board meeting on November 2, 2026
Blackford County's drainage board approved two Prairie Creek Wind drainage plans Nov. 2 after reviewing county-drain language and flexibility for repairs when field conditions change.
The board approved the Prairie Creek Wind LLC plan dated Oct. 20, 2026, by a 3-0 vote. A separate 3-0 vote approved the Prairie-Creek-Wind-Farm-2 plan dated October 2026.
The discussion covered definitions and repair graphics, with attention to the difference between county drains and other drains. The county's authority centers on regulated county drains, the drainage systems under its oversight.
The board also distinguished its county-drain approval from arrangements individual landowners might make with contractors. Side agreements on particular repairs are separate from the countywide approval.
Both plans passed following that discussion. The approvals addressed the drainage documents; they did not make individual landowner-contractor repair agreements part of the county's decision.
