The commission shall immediately forward notice of the issuance of a permit to the board of county commissioners of the county in which the lands are located. The commission may revoke the permit of any person engaging in geophysical exploration upon a showing that that person has violated any applicable requirement pertaining to geophysical exploration. The commission shall notify that person, by the most effective written means, of the permit revocation. Upon notification, the person engaging in geophysical exploration may, within fifteen days, request a hearing before the commission on the matter. The commission shall either affirm, modify, or deny the permit revocation. The commission may also suspend the permit temporarily in those cases where climate and physical conditions are such as to cause harm, damage, or undue stress to roads, bridges, pastures, crops, or other physical features. For these same reasons, a board of county commissioners, upon notice to the permitholder and the commission, also may suspend, for not longer than forty-eight hours, a permit for operations within the county.
