7 None. The Board agreed with Mr. Lysne’s responses, including his findings that, because the project does not propose any increases to the watershed or road crossings, the project will not result in any increase downstream flows and that, because the project will address inconsistent slopes and high spots, the project will actually improve drainage in the watershed. Manager Melvin moved, and Manager Miller seconded the motion, to adopt Moore Engineering’s responses to the eight elements under Section 89 02 01-09.2 of the North Dakota Administrative Code; to conclude the project will not result in adverse downstream impacts; and to approve Surface Drain Permit No. 6270 for Sinner Bros. & Bresnahan, L.L.P., subject to the conditions attached by the North Dakota Department of Water Resources, subject to the following conditions: 1. Applicant will not construct or improve the drain in any manner that exceeds the dimensions indicated in the Application. 2. Applicant will obtain written consent from the Everest Township Board of Township Supervisors to construct any improvements to the Township’s 39th Street and 157th Avenue road ditches. 3. Applicant will notify the Maple River Water Resource District in advance of any proposed improvements to the drain, including any increase in the capacity or drainage area affected, and, if necessary, submit an additional permit application. Upon roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. In addition to those conditions, the Board will also 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. Secretary-Treasurer Melissa Hinkemeyer will sign the permit form and staff will prepare the requisite Notice of Decision and provide the Notice of Decision to all parties of record, as required by law.
