N.D. Cent. Code § 61-02-81
Current through 2024 Legislative Session
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a political subdivision permits building or development within a breach inundation zone and the building or development causes a change in a dam's current hazard classification necessitating structural improvements or upgrades to the dam, the political subdivision shall pay for the necessary improvements or upgrades. State loans, grants, cost-share, and other financial assistance may not be provided to pay for the dam improvements or upgrades. For purposes of this section, "breach inundation zone" means the area downstream of the dam which would be flooded in the event of a dam failure or uncontrolled release of water.
