PE-01 Local Zoning & Permitting
Resource is present, likely difficult to address
- The rule
Code computed the rating from the assessor's inputs:
extent=core, avoidable=partly -> 3
Set by the rule
- Decision
- Released
- Evidence state
- VERIFIED · field study or agency determination
The assessor's comments
Parcels are zoned A-1 Agricultural. Special exception is granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals following a public hearing. Ordinance requires a 250-foot setback from non-participating residences and a decommissioning bond before the improvement location permit. Residents along CR 400 N voiced opposition at a township meeting. Moratorium and road use status unconfirmed.
PE-02 State Jurisdiction
Impacts likely but may be easily resolved
- The rule
Code computed the rating from the assessor's inputs:
impact_likely=yes -> 2
Set by the rule
- Decision
- Released with flags
- The engine's reasons
- Agencies not in the register or the evidence: IURC (conditional)
- Category 2 is plausible from the applies-level NPDES requirement. The assessment is weakened by inconsistent handling of S-02 (labeled data-room evidenced but described as having no quote), an avoidability call made without delineation evidence, and an extent call that rests on professional judgment.
- Evidence state
- INFERRED · reasoned from several records
The assessor's comments
No state siting application, agency correspondence, or stormwater permit/SWPPP is included in the data room. Construction stormwater general permit coverage applies. An IDEM 401 WQC/isolated wetland permit is likely if fill or discharge occurs in waters or isolated wetlands. IURC CPCN applicability is unconfirmed.
PE-03 Other
Impacts likely but may be easily resolved
- The rule
Code computed the rating from the assessor's inputs:
impact_likely=yes -> 2
Set by the rule
- Decision
- Released with flags
- The engine's reasons
- Agencies not in the register or the evidence: EPA, USACE, Transmission line owner (to be identified)

The assessor's comments
An existing 138 kV transmission line crosses the eastern portion of the Project Area; crossing or encroachment coordination is likely. Line ownership and terms are not documented. No federal land, funding or permit is documented in the data room. Sugar Run and tributaries are likely jurisdictional waters.
2What the record shows
PE-01 Local Zoning & Permitting
The five inputs
Present: yes
Parcels are zoned A-1 Agricultural (C-d8361ea2dc) and a special exception is granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals following a public hearing (C-318952bc4a). Candidate requirements L-01, L-02 and L-03 apply; the 250-foot setback and decommissioning bond are documented (C-2ad119167d, C-81ccc0d11b).
Cites C-d8361ea2dc, C-318952bc4a, C-2ad119167d, C-81ccc0d11b
Extent: core
Zoning, special exception and ordinance requirements govern the whole project on A-1 parcels (C-d8361ea2dc, C-318952bc4a).
Cites C-d8361ea2dc, C-318952bc4a
Avoidable: partly
A special exception after a public hearing is judged discretionary but usually granted (inference; C-318952bc4a only shows a hearing occurs). Opposition at the township level (views, property values; 60-signature petition to trustees) is documented, but it was directed to trustees, not the BZA, and trustees took no action (C-17067c687e, C-9219b5c2a9, C-cd028dc455). The 500 ft setback request is undated (C-fd8c52be70). Denial is not shown to be realistic; moratorium status is unknown, not absent.

Pathway: individual
Professional judgment: a special exception following a public hearing (C-318952bc4a), with local resident opposition and a petition at township level (C-17067c687e, C-9219b5c2a9), is treated as a hearing-based discretionary approval rather than routine administrative; 'contested' is inferred. Trustees took no action (C-cd028dc455). Whether a moratorium applies is unknown, not documented either way (L-04 unconfirmed).
Cites C-318952bc4a, C-17067c687e, C-9219b5c2a9, C-cd028dc455
Impact likely: yes
Local approvals are required: special exception hearing, 250-foot setback compliance, and decommissioning bond before the improvement location permit (C-318952bc4a, C-2ad119167d, C-81ccc0d11b). Schedule and condition exposure; resident requests for larger setbacks and screening could add conditions (C-fd8c52be70, undated).

PE-02 State Jurisdiction
The five inputs
Present: yes
No data-room claims exist for this row. Candidate requirement F-CWA402 (NPDES construction stormwater coverage and SWPPP, applies, PACK_PENDING_QUALIFIED_REVIEW) supports state approvals being required; in Indiana IDEM administers it. S-02 (IDEM 401 WQC/isolated wetland permit, likely, DATA_ROOM_EVIDENCED) is also listed as a candidate requirement, but no quote is provided to support the Sugar Run reference. S-03 is model knowledge only and is not relied on alone.
Cites no claim.
Extent: core
Construction stormwater coverage applies to every utility-scale project and governs the project as a whole. The disturbed acreage is not documented (1,356 acres is total project area), but the permit still covers the whole project under the common plan of development. This is a professional judgment.
Cites no claim.
Avoidable: yes
Construction stormwater coverage is a general permit and is routinely obtainable. Any S-02 permit is triggered only by fill or discharge, and siting can avoid that. Ownership and offtake structure are not documented, so IURC CPCN applicability (S-01, unverified, conditional) is unknown and not assumed either way.
Cites no claim.
Pathway: standard
The established requirement is a general permit (NPDES construction stormwater) with routine IDEM review. No evidence shows a full siting certificate proceeding or a statutory bar. The CPCN question is open and is handled as a next step.
Cites no claim.
Impact likely: yes
State approvals are required. Stormwater NOI/SWPPP preparation and possible IDEM water quality review add cost and schedule for a typical utility-scale build.
Cites no claim.
Supporting statements (0)
The row cites no claim.
PE-03 Other
The five inputs
Present: yes
C-fe67965fc1 documents an existing 138 kV transmission line crossing the eastern Project Area, so utility crossing or encroachment coordination is a reasonable expectation for a solar build. F-SPCC is conditional on oil volume above the threshold, which is not documented; SPCC applicability is therefore a possibility, not a documented need. No federal land, funding or permit is documented. C-c601777a50 (likely jurisdictional waters) points to a possible Section 404 nexus, but whether impacts occur is undetermined. L-03 (applies) is a local approval addressed in the local zoning row.
Cites C-fe67965fc1, C-c601777a50
Extent: unknown
C-fe67965fc1 places the line in the eastern portion but does not show how much of the 1,356-acre site it affects, and no layout is documented. No project-wide federal nexus is documented, so NEPA is not shown to cover the whole project. Extent cannot be established from the evidence.
Cites C-fe67965fc1
Avoidable: yes
Line ownership and crossing terms are not documented. As a professional judgment, utility crossing agreements and SPCC plans are typically routine, and no evidence of a realistic denial exists. A federal nexus is not documented, so no discretionary approval is shown.
Cites C-fe67965fc1
Pathway: standard
Judgment: a crossing or encroachment agreement with the line owner (owner undocumented) and a possible SPCC plan follow standard processes. No federal nexus requiring an EA or EIS is documented. A Section 404 nationwide permit tied to C-c601777a50 would also be standard if wetland impacts occur.
Cites C-fe67965fc1, C-c601777a50
Impact likely: yes
Judgment, not documented layout: collection-line, access road and fence work on a site crossed by an existing 138 kV line will typically need crossing or encroachment coordination (C-fe67965fc1). Likely waters (C-c601777a50) may add a Corps permit check. This adds some coordination time and cost.

- Applicability
- Conditional
- Instrument
- Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity / siting
- Trigger
- Only if project is utility-owned or the utility seeks IURC approval of PPA/ownership
- Description
Indiana has no state siting permit for private solar; siting is local. IURC jurisdiction applies only to regulated utilities (IC 8-1-8.5 CPCN for utility-owned generation or PPA approval) and would be triggered only if Prairie Electric owns or seeks approval for the project.
- As of the cut-off
As of 2023-08-15 Indiana had no state solar siting permit; local control prevails (the 2023 legislative session considered but did not enact a state siting override for solar; IC 36-7-4-1109 on local wind/solar ordinances was later amended in 2024-2025 efforts). Check later changes.
