Public Hearing

Some proposed permit actions require that the DNR hold a public hearing in addition to the public comment period. A facility may also request a public hearing to proactively address concerns. The hearing notice, listing the time, date and location of the hearing, is published with the public notice. The public can also request a public hearing by contacting the DNR permit reviewer listed in the public notice and stating why they feel a hearing is warranted, how they are affected by this project, and if they are representing a group or firm. The request must be submitted in written form within 30 days of publication of the public notice.
