On or about January 7, 2021, the Petitioner filed a petition for a contested case hearing pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 227.42, requesting a hearing on the denial of the four permit renewal applications. On Feb. 3, 2021, the DNR reviewed the petition and granted the petition as to some of the issues. On March 4, 2022, the DNR then forwarded the file to the Division of Hearings and Appeals, who assigned the undersigned administrative law judge.
The hearing in this matter was previously scheduled to begin on Aug.15, 2022. At the request of the Petitioner, the matter was rescheduled. The parties have conferred and agreed to a new date for a hearing.
