A. The commission shall schedule public hearings to receive additional evidence and
testimony relating to navigability or nonnavigability of each watercourse, and, if the
commission finds a watercourse is navigable, the commission shall schedule public
hearings to identify and make a public report of any public trust values associated with
the watercourse. The hearings shall be held at the commission's office or, in the case of
a hearing concerning a watercourse located principally outside of Maricopa county, at the

commission shall cause notice of the hearing to be published in two newspapers, one of
statewide circulation and another of general circulation in the county where the hearing
is to be held. In addition, the commission shall mail notice of the hearing to any
person who has previously requested notice of hearings in writing from the commission.
