Man-Camps in Golden Valley County -- Southwestern North Dakota -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Link here (regional links break often and break early).
The Golden Valley County Planning and Zoning Commission members met Monday afternoon to discuss permits issued to work-camp housing. An amendment was passed that contained conditions for companies to establish facilities for workers.

“The county has been approached from several angles,” said Henry Gerving, Golden Valley zoning director. “The probability of a man camp being developed in Golden Valley is relatively high.”

The commission has met several times to discuss plans and policies for housing crew members for oil companies. The commission wants to be prepared for companies that make camps in Golden Valley County, said Gerving, and they want to be able to give them the correct information.
For those looking for Golden Valley County on google maps, find Beach, North Dakota.  As in the "beach" of an ancient inland lake that is now giving up its oil.

  1. Nothing to do with this post. Warning to those working in the east river road area. The homicide suspect from Belfield was last seen by law enforcement 20 miles north on east river road. He is in camo and covered in mud. They feel he will try to get a vehicle some how. Be on your toes out there this guy is desperate.

  3. Thank you; I didn't know whether to post this as a stand-alone story or not, but with increased interest, I decide to post it.

    Thank you for the link. My wi-fi connection is lousy tonight and I'm relying on others for links.
