§ 1.14.045. Director's hearing.

A.

If a person subject to a compliance order disputes the basis for the issuance of the compliance order, the person must file a request for hearing before the director within fourteen calendar days of the date that the compliance order was mailed or personally delivered to him or her.

B.

Upon the receipt of a timely request for hearing, the director shall schedule a hearing as soon as reasonably practicable and provide a notice of hearing.
