The North Dakota Game and Fish Department will hold a public hearing to address proposed rule changes to North Dakota Administrative Code Title 30. The hearing is scheduled for 1:15 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 12 at the agency’s main office in Bismarck.
The purpose and explanation of the proposed rule change is as follows:
Chapter 30-03-06-05 – Water prohibited. Currently all drain plugs must be removed from all watercraft and recreational, commercial and construction equipment bilges and confined spaces when entering the state or leaving the Red River. To reduce the threat of transport of aquatic nuisance species, it is proposed the current administrative rule be extended statewide, requiring all drain plugs be removed, and water draining devices be open, on all watercraft and recreational, commercial, and construction equipment bilges and confined spaces, during any out-of-water transport.
The proposed rule language may be reviewed at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, 100 N. Bismarck Expressway, Bismarck, ND 58501-5095, or on the Department’s website at gf.nd.gov. A copy of the proposed rules may be requested in writing, or by calling 701-328-6305, or emailing [email protected]. Written or oral comments on the proposed rules must be received by Jan. 22, 2016 for consideration.
Anyone who attends the public hearing and needs special facilities or assistance relating to a disability should contact the Game and Fish Department at least seven days before the public hearing.
