If the drain is to be permanent, the applicant must submit a drain permit application to the department under chapter 89-02-01. If the application is submitted at least thirty days before the emergency permit expires and the permanent drain has the same alignment as the emergency drain, the director may extend the term of the emergency permit until final action on the drain permit application has been taken. If the watershed of the permanent drain is the same as the emergency drain, but has a different alignment, the emergency drain permit must only be extended under section 89-02-05.1-09.1.
