The notice shall advise the applicant or licensee of the right to request a contested case hearing pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 52:14B-1 et seq. and the New Jersey Uniform Administrative Procedure Rules, N.J.A.C. 1:1. The notice shall include the following information:

2. The deadline by which hearing requests must be submitted;

3. The information that is required to be in the hearing request under (c) below; and

4. The requirements for requesting a stay under 7:28-4.19.

(b) All requests for a contested case hearing must be received by the Department within 30 calendar days of the date upon which the notice of decision was received.

(c) All requests for a contested case hearing shall be submitted, in writing, to the Department, at New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Administrative Hearings and Dispute Resolution, ATTENTION: Adjudicatory Hearing Requests, 401 E. State Street, Mail Code 401-07A, PO Box 420, Trenton, NJ 08625-0420. The request shall contain:

1. The name, address and telephone number of the person making such request;

(d) The Department shall determine whether any request for a contested case hearing should be granted. In making such determination, the Department shall evaluate the request to determine whether a contested case, as defined by the Administrative Procedure Act, 52:14B-1 et seq., exists and whether there are issues of fact which, if assumed to be true, might change the Department's decision. Where only issues of law are raised by a request for a hearing, the request will be denied. Denial by the Department of a request for a contested case hearing shall constitute the final decision of the Department for the purposes of judicial appeal.
