water is occurring, the probability of continuance or future
occurrence of such pollution, and the estimated cost of abating such
pollution.  The Department shall notify the permittee in writing of
its decision to release or not to release all or part of the
performance bond or deposit within sixty (60) days from the filing
of the request, if no public hearing is held and if there has been a
public hearing held within thirty (30) days thereafter.
