13 3. Applicant will turn off any pump outlets and otherwise close all outlets during “critical flood periods,” as determined by the Maple River Water Resource District. 4. Applicant will not install Applicant’s tile system within 20 feet, on either side, of any rural water lines Cass Rural Water Users District has in the NW 1/4 of Section 21 or the N 1/2 SW 1/4 of Section 21 in Tower Township under any blanket easements, or otherwise beyond the Water Users District’s existing easement(s). 5. Applicant must apply for an amendment to Subsurface Water Management Permit No. 202317 in advance of any proposed alterations to outlet locations, the addition of any outlets, or improvements or modifications to the tile system that could increase the capacity or drainage area of the tile system. Upon roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Under Section 61-32-03.1, the Board cannot attach any additional conditions to Applicant’s permit. However, for Applicant’s protection, and to ensure protection of Applicant’s tile system, the Board will recommend that Applicant obtain all other necessary and requisite licenses, permits, registrations, and/or approvals from all applicable federal, state, county, and municipal governments, and any other applicable governmental entities. The Board will provide copies of the Board’s Notice of Decision, Subsurface Water Management Permit No. 202317, and Applicant’s downstream flow map to the North Dakota Department of Water Resources, and Cass Rural Water Users District. Because the project discharges into a “watercourse” as defined under North Dakota law, the permit does not require notice to any downstream parties, in accordance with N.D. Cent. Code § 61-32-03.1. Applicant’s detailed project design map is an exempt record, and the Board will not provide copies to any third parties.
