Permit term

1. The permit will remain in effect as long as active mining continues at a mine site and the operator remains in full compliance with all permit conditions. 2. A permit shall be reviewed and may be required to be modified or revised for any of the following: a. Additional applicable requirements under North Dakota Century Code chapters 38-12 and 38-12.1 and North Dakota Administrative Code article 43-02; or b. The director determines that the permit contains a material mistake or that inaccurate statements were made in establishing the terms or conditions of the permit. 3. If the permit area contains property owned by the federal or state government, the expiration or termination of the government's authorization for the operator to conduct mining operations on the property automatically suspends the operator's authority to continue mining operations on the property, although not necessarily reclamation operations, by the permit issued under chapter 43-02-02.3.
