Applicant will install and maintain erosion protection at any and all outlets <br />into Normanna Township’s road right of way. <br /> <br />2. Applicant will re-establish any areas disturbed installing or maintaining <br />Applicant’s tile system. <br /> <br />3. Applicant will turn off any pump outlets and otherwise close all outlets during <br />“critical flood periods,” as determined by the Maple River Water Resource <br />District. <br /> <br />4. Applicant will not install Applicant’s tile system within 20 feet, on either side, <br />of any rural water lines Cass Rural Water Users District has in the SW 1/4 <br />of Section 17 and the NW 1/4 of Section 20 in Normanna Township under <br />any blanket easements, or otherwise beyond the Water Users District’s <br />existing easement(s). <br /> <br />5. Applicant will remove silt or vegetation, or repair erosion or scour damages <br />directly caused by Applicant’s tile system, but only up to one mile <br />downstream of the project outlet. <br /> <br />6. Applicant must apply for an amendment to Subsurface Water Management <br />Permit No. 202313 in advance of any proposed alterations to outlet <br />locations, the addition of any outlets, or improvements or modifications to <br />the tile system that could increase the capacity or drainage area of the tile <br />system. <br /> <br />Upon roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />With regard to condition #5, Applicant’s obligations to remove silt or vegetation, or to <br />repair erosion or scour damages, will only arise upon submission of substantial evidence <br />to the Board by a downstream landowner or road authority that Applicant’s tile system <br />directly caused accumulation of silt or vegetation, erosion, or scouring. <br /> <br />Under Section 61-32-03.1, the Board cannot attach any additional conditions to <br />Applicant’s permit. However, for Applicant’s protection, and to ensure protection of <br />Applicant’s tile system, the Board will recommend that Applicant comply with the <br />following: <br /> <br />1. The Board recommends that Applicant obtain written consent from the <br />Normanna Township Board to discharge into or otherwise utilize any of its <br />Township road right of way.
