Oklahoma Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations Act, shall be

conducted only in a manner as prescribed by the State Department of

Agriculture by rule promulgated pursuant to this section and the

Oklahoma Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations Act.

B. If three valid complaints are received by the Department

against a poultry-laying operation, licensed pursuant to the

Oklahoma Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations Act, within a period

of sixty (60) days, the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food,

and Forestry, upon inspection and verification of the complaint,

shall declare that an emergency exists.

C. Whenever the Department finds that an emergency exists

requiring immediate action to protect the public health or welfare

or the environment pursuant to this subsection, the Department may

without notice or hearing issue an order, effective upon issuance,

reciting the existence of such an emergency and requiring that such

action be taken as deemed necessary to meet the emergency. Any

person to whom such an order is directed shall comply therewith

immediately but may request an administrative enforcement hearing

thereon within fifteen (15) days after the order is served. The

hearing shall be held by the Department within ten (10) days after

receipt of the request. On the basis of the hearing record, the

Department shall sustain or modify such order.

D. If, at the hearing, it is determined that the operator is in

violation of the provisions of this section and rules promulgated

pursuant thereto, in addition to other administrative penalties

authorized by law, the Department may order that the operator be

prohibited from land applying waste for one hundred sixty (160) days

after determination that the facility is in violation.

E. Any party aggrieved by a final order may petition the

Department for rehearing, reopening or reconsideration within ten

(10) days from the date of the entry of the final order. Any party

aggrieved by a final order, including the Attorney General on behalf
