SYRACUSE – The Indiana Department of Natural Resources issued a final order in the matter of installation of pipes in Lake Wawasee. A petition filed by Anchor Holdings LLC, Randall L. Tobias and Sargent H.P. LLC for the installation of pipes 175 feet from the shore to hold “No Anchoring” signs was initially denied by the department Feb. 28. Claimants filed an appeal, and after a conference May 12, the parties settled negotiations and agreed to the installation of buoys, rather than sign posts. According to the agreement, the buoys may contain signs with language as proposed by the claimants, and will be made of “a material that, if struck by a watercraft, will cause little or no damage.”
