North Dakota § 38-08.1-04.2

• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 38: Mining and Gas and Oil Production
• Ch. 38-08.1: Geophysical Exploration Requirements

Text

The commission shall immediately forward notice of the issuance of a permit to the board of
county commissioners of the county in which the lands are located. The commission may
revoke the permit of any person engaging in geophysical exploration upon a showing that that
person has violated any applicable requirement pertaining to geophysical exploration. The
commission shall notify that person, by the most effective written means, of the permit
revocation. Upon notification, the person engaging in geophysical exploration may, within fifteen
days, request a hearing before the commission on the matter. The commission shall either
affirm, modify, or deny the permit revocation. The commission may also suspend the permit
temporarily in those cases where climate and physical conditions are such as to cause harm,
damage, or undue stress to roads, bridges, pastures, crops, or other physical features. For
these same reasons, a board of county commissioners, upon notice to the permitholder and the
commission, also may suspend, for not longer than forty-eight hours, a permit for operations
within the county.
