Closure of drain

If a permanent drain permit application is not submitted thirty days before the emergency permit expires, the applicant must immediately prepare to close the drain unless the applicant has applied for an extension under section 89-02-05.1-09.1. Preparations must include obtaining any permission or authorizations. Closure of the drain must be completed by the emergency permit expiration date. The applicant must keep the board and the department informed of the applicant's progress in closing the drain. The applicant must notify the board and the department in writing when the emergency drain has been completely closed.
