(1) Consistent with SCC 7.54.120(3), a revised notice and order may be issued to the person(s) responsible for a violation for the purpose of adjusting the amount of monetary penalty imposed in the original notice and order to include costs incurred by the county in investigating and enforcing remediation of the violation. A revised notice and order shall clearly reference the original notice and order that is being revised. The issuance of a revised notice and order does not affect the validity or issuance date of the original notice and order.

(2) The recipient(s) of a revised notice and order shall respond to the revised notice and order in one of the following ways:

(a) Pay the Additional Amount of Penalties in a Timely Manner. The recipient(s) of a revised notice and order may pay the increased amount of monetary penalties to the county within the longest of the following time periods: (i) within 30 calendar days of receiving the revised notice and order, (ii) by the deadline specified in the revised notice and order, if any, (iii) by any extended deadline for payment of the original monetary penalty that has been agreed to by the director pursuant to SCC 7.54.130, or (iv) if the original notice and order was timely appealed, then by the deadline for payment of the original monetary penalty that is specified in the final order resulting from the appeal, as described in SCC 7.54.170.

(b) Contest the Revised Notice and Order. The recipient(s) of a revised notice and order may contest the accuracy, validity, or appropriateness of the increased amount of monetary penalties imposed by the revised notice and order by appealing the revised notice and order to the hearing examiner within 30 calendar days of receiving the revised notice and order. The scope of such appeal shall be strictly limited to the accuracy, validity, and appropriateness of the increased amount of monetary penalties imposed by the revised notice and order. Any such appeal must be made in writing and must contain the elements described in SCC 2.02.125, except that no filing fee shall be required. Any appeal documents delivered to the department of planning and development services shall be transmitted to the office of the hearing examiner within three business days. If an appeal of the original notice and order is pending with the hearing examiner, the hearing examiner shall have discretion to consolidate the appeals.

(3) To the extent applicable, the provisions of SCC 7.54.150, 7.54.160, 7.54.170 and 7.54.180 shall each apply to a revised notice and order, just as they apply to an original notice and order.
