§3255. Complaints
A. Any person who believes that he has suffered damages as a result of any action by any person regulated by the provisions of this Part may file a damage complaint with the commissioner.
B. All damage complaints shall be in writing, shall be on forms prescribed by the commissioner, shall be signed by the complainant, and shall be filed within fifteen days of the action by the alleged offender or the discovery of the damage, whichever occurs later. Failure to file a timely complaint shall not affect the right of the person to institute legal proceedings for the damages.
C. Each person who files a damage complaint shall permit the commissioner, the alleged offender, or the representative of either, such as bondsmen or insurers, to observe within reasonable hours the lands, crops, or nontarget organisms alleged to have been damaged in order to determine any damages. Failure of the claimant to permit such observation and examination of the damaged property shall automatically bar the claim against the alleged offender under this Section.
D. The commissioner may undertake such monitoring activities, including but not limited to monitoring of the air, soil, water, plants, and animals as may be necessary for the administration and enforcement of this Section.
