The assessor's comments
SSURGO maps about 62 percent of the land as prime farmland. Twelve parcels are enrolled in CAUV and eight are in an agricultural district; recoupment may apply unless the energy facility exception applies. Field tile is reported in West Block fields. Harrison Township No. 4 county ditch crosses Parcel 3, with a 25-foot maintenance easement.
Worst case
The same rule on the worst case gives no rating above the point.
- Scenario
Extensive untiled-map tile damage, full CAUV recoupment and district withdrawal penalties, and a ditch improvement petition for a crossing; still manageable through standard processes.
- Step still pending
- Drain tile locating survey, county auditor confirmation of the energy facility exception, and county engineer review of ditch crossings

2What the record shows
The five inputs
Present: yes
Prime farmland (C-dd848d6716), CAUV and agricultural district enrollment (C-1a003c9f9c, C-bead1c4d82), field tile (C-682e211cfb, C-c8e5735fc6) and the Harrison Township No. 4 county ditch (C-d07aa54486) are documented.
Cites C-dd848d6716, C-1a003c9f9c, C-bead1c4d82, C-682e211cfb, C-c8e5735fc6, C-d07aa54486
Extent: core
SSURGO maps about 62 percent prime farmland plus 21 percent statewide importance (C-dd848d6716). Twelve parcels are in CAUV and eight in an agricultural district (C-1a003c9f9c). Landowners report tile across most West Block parcels (C-c8e5735fc6), and the ditch crosses Parcel 3 (C-d07aa54486). Program enrollment affects much of the site.
Cites C-dd848d6716, C-1a003c9f9c, C-c8e5735fc6, C-d07aa54486
Avoidable: partly
Costs are tile repair or rerouting (C-50cd3eb7bc, C-f3753971f3, C-b49803fd5c) and CAUV recoupment and withdrawal penalty, unless the energy facility exception applies (C-1a003c9f9c, C-78fa553551). No binding agricultural easement is documented, so not 'no'.
Cites C-50cd3eb7bc, C-f3753971f3, C-b49803fd5c, C-1a003c9f9c, C-78fa553551
Pathway: standard
Recoupment is a charge, not a permit (OH-AG). OPSB requires mapping of agricultural district land and a tile repair plan (C-752c6c08a4). A county ditch petition is needed only if the ditch is altered (OH-DITCH, C-83e349f335). No discretionary easement approval or prohibition is documented. No federal nexus is shown for the FPPA.
Cites C-752c6c08a4, C-83e349f335
Impact likely: yes
Tile damage during grading, trenching and collection lines is likely on tiled West Block fields (C-682e211cfb, C-c8e5735fc6). Farmland conversion and possible recoupment are also likely (C-78fa553551, C-67ba142a5a).

State (2)
Recoupment of CAUV tax savings and agricultural district withdrawal penalty when land leaves agricultural use, and the OPSB's review of agricultural district land (a cost and a review, not a permit)
OH-AG · County auditor (agricultural district and CAUV administration, recoupment charge, withdrawal penalty); Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) (agricultural district impact in the certificate decision)
- Applicability
- Conditional
- Instrument
- ORC 929.01 to 929.05 (agricultural districts); ORC 5713.30 to 5713.38 (current agricultural use valuation, CAUV); ORC 4906.10(A)(7); OAC 4906-4-08(E)
- Trigger
- Land enrolled in CAUV or an agricultural district is converted to a non-agricultural use by the project.
- Description
Two county programs govern farmland: current agricultural use value (CAUV), a property-tax relief program, and agricultural districts under ORC Chapter 929. Neither is a permit; the cost arises when land leaves agricultural use. On conversion, a charge is levied equal to the tax savings on the converted land over the three preceding tax years. Withdrawal from an agricultural district, which includes conversion to a non-agricultural use, adds a penalty of a percentage of that charge equal to the average bank prime rate. No charge is levied where the conversion is incident to constructing an energy facility, as defined in ORC 5727.01, and the rest of the parcel stays in agricultural use; that definition was not in the source library, so confirm that a solar and storage facility qualifies. The OPSB weighs impact on agricultural district land in its certificate findings and requires agricultural and district land to be mapped.
- Typical timeline
The CAUV recoupment reaches back three tax years before the year of conversion (ORC 5713.34(A)(1)); the district penalty uses the average bank prime rate at the time that charge is required to be paid (ORC 929.02(D)(1)(a)).

Petition proceeding before the board of county commissioners (or joint board) for any alteration of a county or joint county ditch, respect for the county's maintenance easement, and field tile protection and repair under the OPSB rules
OH-DITCH · Board of county commissioners (or the joint board of county commissioners for a joint county ditch) and the county engineer; Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) (field tile requirements in the certificate application)
- Applicability
- Conditional
- Instrument
- ORC Chapters 6131, 6133 and 6137 (versions effective 2021-03-24); OAC 4906-4-08(E)
- Trigger
- The project would alter a county or joint county ditch, or build in the strip along it that maintenance crews may use.
- Description
A petition for a county ditch goes to the board of county commissioners; where land in two or more counties is affected, a joint board of the counties' commissioners conducts the proceeding. For a single county ditch the county engineer has general charge of repair and maintenance. Filling, tiling, boxing, arching, relocating or otherwise changing a ditch is an improvement, which begins with a petition to the board. The permanent maintenance easement is not more than twenty-five feet from the top of the bank on an open ditch and not more than eighty feet centered on the centerline of a closed ditch. The chapters do not themselves set out a separate ditch-crossing permit, so confirm with the county engineer what a crossing needs. The OPSB application must show avoidance or minimization of damage to field tile and timely repair at the applicant's expense.
- Typical timeline
After a petition is filed, the board sets a view between thirty and one hundred twenty days later and a first hearing thirty to ninety days after the view (ORC 6131.07(B)).

6Basis and limits
This report is a desk review of the documents quoted above, as the engine read them for an information cut-off of 2023-08-01.
It is not a field survey and not a modelled study: this review made no site visit and ran no acoustic, hydraulic or other model. Where the record is silent, the report says what is missing; it does not fill the gap.
Every statement, figure and quote is the engine's record as written. The headings and connecting words are fixed text of this room, the same in every report.
