ARM 36.15.217. WAIVER OF PERMIT FOR EMERGENCY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT

(1) Emergency repair to and/or replacement of severely damaged public transportation facilities, public water and sewer facilities, and flood control works may be authorized and permit requirements waived if: (a) Upon notification and prior to the emergency repair and/or replacement, the permit issuing authority determines that an emergency condition warranting immediate action exists; and (b) The permit issuing authority agrees upon the nature and type of proposed emergency repair and/or replacement. (2) Authorization to undertake emergency repair and/or replacement work may be given verbally if the permit issuing authority feels that a written authorization would unduly delay the emergency work. Such verbal authorization must be followed by a written authorization stating the emergency condition, the type of emergency work agreed upon, and a notation that verbal authorization had been previously given.
