N.D. Admin Code 89-02-04-13 - Qualifications of witnesses at department's hearings

Unless agreed to by both petitioner and respondent and allowed by the hearing officer, people who failed to participate in the water resource board's determination under North Dakota Century Code section 61-32-07 may not be called to present evidence or testimony for consideration. However, the department may call witnesses on the department's own motion without the agreement of any party if the department feels information known by the person will assist the hearing officer in making a recommended decision.
