The Director retains jurisdiction to review and amend any and all parameters of this right. Prior to undertaking a review of the water right, the Director shall identify the reasons for exercising retained jurisdiction under this condition, and give notice thereof to the public generally and to specific persons or parties known by the Director to be interested. The Director shall thereafter conduct a hearing for the purpose of determining whether the minimum stream flow should be modified or amended in the public interest. The burden of proof at the hearing shall be upon the person or party seeking to establish that a particular parameter of the water right should be modified or amended to satisfy the public interest. Review of the water right under this condition may not occur prior to 15 years after issuance of the license.
