SWITZER ROAD DRAINAGE PROJECT #24-01
View & Public Hearing Notice
Per the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 940.20, you are hereby given notice that a petition has been filed at the Defiance Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) for the Switzer Road Drainage Project #24-01. The requested project is to establish an adequate outlet for the stormwater crossover pipe under Switzer Road, located approximately 1,625 feet east of Ashpacher Road. This outlet will extend onto the adjacent private property(s) south of Switzer Road. In addition, this may require the replacement of the crossover pipe under Switzer Road. The proposed project and its drainage area are located within section 21 of Noble Township (see enclosed map).
The Board of Supervisors of the Defiance SWCD has preliminarily accepted this request for assistance on December 17, 2024 and in accordance with 940.19 ORC, has set a View and a Public Hearing concerning this project.
The Board of Supervisors will conduct a View for the Switzer Road Drainage Project #24-01.

The View is scheduled for January 21, 2025 at 9:30 a.m. The View will be held at the Defiance Soil and Water Conservation District’s large meeting room, located at 06879 Evansport Road, Suite C, Defiance, Ohio 43512.
