<br />History: <br />General Authority: NDCC 28-32-02, 61-03-13, 61-32-04 <br />Law Implemented: NDCC 61-32-03 <br /> <br />89-02-02-08. Review by state engineer and transmittal to <br />appropriate board. Upon receipt of a properly completed <br />application, the state engineer shall review the wetlands to be <br />drained in the project area and determine whether all wetlands to <br />be drained are temporary wetlands. If all wetlands are <br />determined to be temporary wetlands, that fact shall be noted on <br />the permit application. If a project is proposing to drain only <br />temporary wetlands, the state engineer shall also determine <br />whether the project is of statewide or interdistrict significance <br />using the factors set out in section 89-02-02-12. He shall note <br />his determination in that regard upon the application. If the <br />project will drain other than temporary wetlands, the state <br />engineer shall not determine whether the project is of statewide <br />or interdistrict significance until after the board has <br />considered and approved the project. <br /> <br />In any event, the permit application shall then be forwarded <br />to the board in which a majority of the watershed of the proposed <br />project is located. <br /> <br />History: <br />General Authority: NDCC 28-32-02, 61-03-13, 61-32-04 <br />Law Implemented: NDCC 61-32-03 <br /> <br />89-02-02-09.
