Section 194.7 - Approval of prescribed burn management plans for nondepartment lands
The department shall have 30 working days to review and take action upon the prescribed burn management plan.

Such approval shall be in writing and shall specify the area of land approved for burning, the person or organization authorized to conduct the burn and the dates for which the approval is valid.
