N.D. Cent. Code § 23.1-11-12: Producer liability

Liability may not be imposed upon an agricultural producer for costs of active cleanup, or for any damage associated with or resulting from the detection in ground water, of a pesticide if the applicator has complied with label instructions and other precautions for application of the pesticide and the applicator has a valid appropriate applicator's certification. Compliance with these requirements may be raised as an affirmative defense by an agricultural producer.
