Section 69-05.2-15-03 - Performance standards - Suitable plant growth material - Storage and protection1. Suitable plant growth materials removed as required by section 69-05.2-15-02 must be stockpiled only when it is impractical to promptly redistribute such materials on regraded areas. 2. Suitable plant growth material to be stockpiled must be selectively placed on a stable area within the permit area in such a manner that minimizes any loss or deterioration of such material. The stockpiled materials must be protected from wind and water erosion, unnecessary compaction, and contaminants which lessen the capability of the materials to support vegetation. During the first normal period for favorable planting after stockpile placement, an effective cover of quick-growing nonnoxious plants must be established on the stockpiles. However, as an alternative to the establishment of a protective vegetative cover, the stockpiles may be mulched or otherwise protected using methods approved by the commission. 3. Unless approved by the commission, stockpiled suitable plant growth materials may not be moved until required for redistribution on a regraded area. N.D. Admin Code 69-05.2-15-03
