Section 312IAC15-1-3. Administrative review of an order by a district forester

   (a) A person who is aggrieved by an order or directive of a district forester made under this article may request a review of the order or directive by the state forester. A response to the review request shall be provided within fourteen (14) days by the state forester or by another employee of the division of forestry designated by the state forester to consider the request.

  (b) A person who is aggrieved by the response of the state forester (or the employee designated by the state forester), made under subsection (a), may obtain administrative review of the order by the commission under IC 4-21.5 and 312 IAC 3-1. If a timely response is not made under subsection (a), an aggrieved person may treat the lack of a response as a denial of relief by the state forester and obtain administrative review by the commission under this subsection.
