Before WATKINS, CARTER and FOIL, JJ.

FOIL, Judge.

This appeal questions the retroactivity of an amendment to La.R.S. 30:2024(A), which vests jurisdiction in the trial court to conduct a de novo review of DEQ permit decisions, where DEQ has denied the permit applicant's request for a hearing. We hold that the amendment may be applied retroactively to the present proceeding, and remand the matter to the trial court to conduct a de novo review of DEQ's permit determination.
