WRD raises potential dike-permit requirement for American Crystal Sugar Hillsboro land-treatment field
Summary
The board instructed the secretary-treasurer to tell American Crystal Sugar the WRD has no comments on legal drain impacts but noted the company's proposed berm at its Hillsboro land-treatment field (field 8) may require a dike permit from the North Dakota Department of Water Resources; motion passed unanimously.
Stantec is assisting American Crystal Sugar Company with a permit application to create a land treatment field at the company's Hillsboro facility, proposed as field 8. Manager Gary Thompson moved and Manager Joel Halvorson seconded a motion directing Secretary-Treasurer Jessica Spaeth to respond on behalf of the WRD that the district has no comments regarding potential impacts to legal drain facilities but that American Crystal’s proposed berm may require a dike permit from the North Dakota Department of Water Resources; the motion passed by unanimous roll call.
The board did not take further action on the application at the Feb. 3 meeting. The WRD’s response is limited to comments about legal drains and the possible need for a separate state dike permit; no WRD permit denial or approval was issued at the meeting.
