State of Minnesota Contested Case Hearing. A request for a contested case hearing on the draft permit with supporting documentation may be made to the permitting agency. A contested case hearing will be held if:
1) there is a material issue of fact in dispute concerning the matter pending before the agency;
2) the agency has the jurisdiction to make a determination on the disputed material issue of fact; and
3) there is a reasonable basis underlying the disputed material issue of fact such that the holding of a contested case hearing would allow the introduction of information that would aid the agency in resolving the disputed facts in making a final decision on the matter.
