Settlement Offer. The director shall review the access management dispute review board’s findings and recommendation and may accept, modify or reverse the department’s original decision or determinations pursuant to OAR 734-051-3020 (Change of Use of a Private Connection)(10)(a) in making a settlement offer.

(5)

Rejection of Settlement Offer.
