A. The director shall establish a registry of all applications received for a certificate of grandfathered right or a restoration of a retired irrigation grandfathered right for each active management area. After the deadline for the filing of applications for a certificate of grandfathered right has passed, the director shall notify all applicants for a certificate of grandfathered right that the registry is available in the offices of the department for public inspection during regular business hours.

B. Within one hundred eighty days of the date of the notice required by subsection A of this section, any person residing in the active management area may file a written objection to any application for a certificate of grandfathered right and may request a hearing on the application. Objections may be made only on the basis that the information in the application is incorrect or is insufficient to issue a certificate.

C. This section does not apply to late applications for certificates of grandfathered rights filed pursuant to section 45-476.01.
