North Dakota creates an environmental impact mitigation fund. Money paid under section 49-22-09.2 goes into this fund, and the commissioner deposits mitigation payments there. The fund can pay for expert work and for creating, restoring, or mitigating similar habitat harmed by a project. Work must be prioritized in this order: the area hit, then the county, then the region, then elsewhere in the state. The fund can buy and maintain easements or leaseholds for mitigation. The commissioner may invest the fund, spend it on a continuing basis, and is exempt from one general fund-handling rule and usual procurement rules for these contracts. The commissioner must write rules with the review committee and must tell the Public Service Commission about mitigation plans before permits are issued.
The federal environmental law impact review fund has a continuing appropriation to the commissioner. It holds money appropriated or transferred for section 4.1-01-19 purposes and any gifts, grants, and donations. The commissioner can invest the fund under the state investment board.
If you sell an easement or leasehold to offset an energy facility’s impacts, it can last only as long as the facility operates under chapter 49-22. The agriculture commissioner can buy and hold these interests in the state’s name. The state must end an easement or leasehold when it is no longer needed.
