The department may order the immediate suspension of any exploration, drilling, or plugging activities if it finds that the activity poses an imminent danger to public health or safety or results in, or is likely to result in, substantial damage to natural resources. Within five calendar days after the issuance of the order the department shall provide the permittee an opportunity to be heard and to present evidence that the allegedly dangerous condition or activity is not likely to result in substantial damage to natural resources and does not present an imminent danger to public health or safety. After the hearing, the department shall make a final determination.
