study and hearings provided for in this chapter. Any designation must be made in
accordance with the evidence presented at the hearings, an evaluation of the
information provided in the application, the criteria established pursuant to section
49-22.1-03, and the considerations set out in section 49-22.1-09 in a finding with

months after the filing of a completed application for a certificate of site compatibility or

refusal of designation. Upon designation of a site or corridor, the commission shall
issue a certificate of site compatibility or a certificate of corridor compatibility with the
terms, conditions, or modifications deemed necessary.
