               <span class="ital">Plan and permit denials.</span> The disapproval or modification of any proposed stormwater control plan or the refusal
               to issue a stormwater permit by the county engineer, or designee, shall entitle the
               person submitting the plan, or applying for the permit, to a hearing before the county
               engineer if such person submits written demand to the county engineer for a hearing
               within 15 days after receipt of written notice of disapproval or modifications. This
               appeal shall specify the factual and/or legal grounds underlying their demand and
               only such specified grounds may be argued at the hearing. Such hearing will be held
               within 21 days after the date of the appeal or request for a hearing, or at such later
               time as the parties mutually agree.

               <span class="ital">Civil penalties.</span> Any person so assessed shall have a right of appeal to the board of county commissioners
               upon serving written notice of appeal on the clerk to the board within 15 days after
               the assessed person receives notice of the assessment. This appeal shall specify the
               factual and/or legal grounds underlying their demand and only such specified grounds
               may be argued at the hearing. The board of county commissioners shall hold a quasi-judicial
               hearing and may affirm, increase, reduce or remit the penalty initially assessed by
               the county engineer. Appeals from the final decision of the board of county commissioners
               shall be to the appropriate division of the general court of justice. If no such appeal
               is served upon the clerk to the board within 15 days, the civil penalty assessment
               becomes final.
