Dickinson't-Disapproved Man-Camp Approved By Dunn County -- Six Miles North -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

I was very, very happy to see this.
The company that got rejected at Dickinson because the project didn't match the neighborhood did get OK'd for a man camp in southern Dunn County, about six miles north of Dickinson's city limits.

Target Logistics, which already has four man camps in the Bakken, got a recommendation for approval for a 600-person camp. The company will have to show evidence it has filed a reclamation bond of $300,000 in case the county has to clean up the site when the man camp is closed, plus pay a $35 per occupant fee every year to cover the county's cost for emergency services, or about $10,000.
Over time, Dickinson't will have more opportunities for man-camps, but I doubt they will ever see a better deal than one with the professionals at Target Logistics.

There was an interesting slant/bias to the Bismarck Tribune news story, but that's for another day perhaps.
