Farmstead diking

Within an existing dike system, ring dikes around individual farmsteads shall not require permits if they do not include tiebacks to existing roadways or dikes. Ring dikes with tiebacks shall be considered part of the overall dike system and will be required to secure diking permits. This waiver of a permit requirement for ring dikes from the director does not relieve the necessity of appropriate authorization for ring dikes from the local water resource district in accordance with the North Dakota Century Code.
