Sec. 19. (a) After a hearing and subject to subsection (b), a river commission may issue a permit to a person to substantially affect the natural or scenic qualities of the river if the river commission finds the need of the person seeking the permit to be more compelling than the need of the people to have the natural and scenic qualities of the river preserved.
(b) A permit may not be issued that substantially affects the natural or scenic qualities of a river in a manner visible from five (5) feet above the water surface of the river at normal water level between May 1 and October 15 of a year.
