1997 Minnesota Statutes

     90.193 Extension of timber permits. 

    The commissioner may, in the case of an exceptional 
 circumstance beyond the control of the timber permit holder 
 which makes it unreasonable, impractical, and not feasible to 
 complete cutting and removal under the permit within the time 
 allowed, grant an extension of one year.  A request for the 
 extension must be received by the commissioner before the permit 
 expires.  The request must state the reason the extension is 
 necessary and be signed by the permit holder. The value of the 
 timber remaining to be cut will be recalculated using current 
 stumpage rates.  Any timber cut during the period of extension 
 or remaining uncut at the expiration of the extension shall be 
 billed for at the stumpage rates determined at the time of 
 extension provided that in no event shall stumpage rates be less 
 than those in effect at the time of the original sale.  An 
 interest rate of eight percent will be charged for the period of 
 extension.
