3. Appeal. The Commissioner of Human Services, after consultation with the Public Utilities Commission, and the State Geologist and the State Planning Office, may authorize transport of water for commercial purposes if the commissioner finds that: Transport of the water will not constitute a threat to public health, safety or welfare; that the water is not available naturally in the location to which it will be transported; and that failure to authorize transport of the water would create a substantial hardship to the potential recipient of the water. Any authorization under this subsection shall must be for a period not to exceed 3 years, but may be renewed subject to the same criteria.
