Highlight
The Health Department's decision to modify a North Dakota Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit will not be reversed on appeal unless the decision is arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable.
An administrative agency has a reasonable range of discretion to apply its own regulations, and the agency's expertise is entitled to deference when the subject matter is complex.
A North Dakota Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit may be modified for cause, which includes new information or to correct a technical mistake.
