40.15.020 Construction and Demolition Wastes Permit

Prime contractors are required to obtain a Tribal EPA permit, per Section 40.14.030 of this Act, prior to beginning any construction or demolition work on the Reservation. The permit fee shall be payable to the Tribal EPA and shall be for the sum of 1% of the total contract cost. Failure to obtain a permit will result in delay of the startup of the construction or demolition project. If a construction project begins without a Tribal EPA permit, the construction site will be closed down and penalties/fines along with interest will be assessed according to the number of days the construction project was in operation without a permit. Any false information given on such permit application can result in the Turtle Mountain Tribe EPA and other environmental departments denying permits on any projects within the Reservation Boundaries for that Prime contractor for a period of two years. Such permit application shall be provided in the format designated by the Tribal EPA.
