Any comments on the applications must be submitted to the Department within 20 days after publication of this notice or filing of the applications, whichever is later. The Department’s decision to approve or deny applications for a conditional open burning permit may be reviewed by the Board of Environmental Review (Board) according to the following procedure:
When the Department approves or denies the applications for a conditional open burning permit under this section, a person who is jointly or severally adversely affected by the Department’s decision may request, within 15 days after the Department renders its decision, upon affidavit setting forth the grounds therefore, a hearing before the Board. A hearing shall be held under the provisions of the Montana Administrative Procedures Act.
The Department’s decision on the applications is not final unless 15 days have elapsed and there is no request for a hearing under this section. The filing of a request for a hearing postpones the effective date of the Department’s decision until the conclusion of the hearing and issuance of a final decision by the Board.
