The Office of Adjudications conducts hearings and issues written decisions in contested cases regarding department permitting, licensing and enforcement matters where such hearings are requested by a party or the public or required by law. Hearing officers, also known as Adjudicators, make findings of fact and determine questions of law based on issues presented in a particular case. Such cases may arise under any of the Department's regulatory programs and involve application of substantive and procedural law to the factual record established in each case.
Hearings are conducted in accordance with the Uniform Administrative Procedure Act, the Department's Rules of Practice, and all other relevant law.
