In addition to the lands covered by North Dakota Century Code section 38-14.2-06, lands and water are eligible for reclamation activities if there is no continuing responsibility for reclamation by an operator or permittee under North Dakota Century Code chapter 38-14.1 as the result of bond forfeiture. Bond forfeiture will render lands or water ineligible only if the amount forfeited is sufficient to pay the total cost of the necessary reclamation.
