Commissioners agree to draft letter to ND Industrial Commission over flaring during dry, windy conditions
Summary
Following concerns from landowners and the sheriff, Mountrail County directed the State's Attorney to draft a letter to the North Dakota Industrial Commission about oil-and-gas flaring during dry, windy weather.
The Mountrail County Board of Commissioners discussed oil-and-gas flaring at their May 19 meeting and directed State’s Attorney Wade Enget to draft a formal letter to the North Dakota Industrial Commission urging attention to flaring when conditions are dry and windy.
Bob Grant of the NW Landowners Association told the board that “they have sent letters regarding the flares,” and Sheriff Corey Bristol said he believed “it would be beneficial to send a letter to the ND Industrial Commission.” Enget said he will prepare the draft letter for consideration at the next commissioner meeting.
The action does not impose new county regulation; it directs the county’s legal officer to prepare correspondence seeking agency attention to flaring practices in the county.
