It's Not Over Until It's Over -- The "Ordinary High Water Mark" Study -- October 26, 2018

Link at The Bismarck Tribune.

The Board of University and School Lands voted unanimously Thursday to contract with an engineering firm to do additional work related to a study of the Missouri River boundary, a process expected to take several months.

A new study of the ordinary high water mark of the Missouri River will require the North Dakota Department of Trust Lands to issue refunds or adjustments to bonus and royalty payments.

But Land Commissioner Jodi Smith said the study adopted last month by the North Dakota Industrial Commission does not give the commission enough information to proceed with those payments. The report does not allocate acreage above or below the ordinary high water mark.

Sounds like probate court, just at a higher level. 

I don't have a tag for this story. I never thought there would be so many articles on this.

Riparian. I do have a tag for "riparian." LOL.
