The amount of the penalty shall be assessed by the Board\n\npursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1 of this subsection, after\n\nnotice and hearing pursuant to Sections 310 through 326 of Title 75\n\nof the Oklahoma Statutes.

Any person aggrieved by a final order or other final\n\ndetermination of the Board may petition for a judicial review for\n\nrehearing, reopening or reconsideration of the matter as provided\n\nfor in Title 75 of the Oklahoma Statutes. If an appeal is not made\n\nby the person to whom such an order is directed within thirty (30)\n\ndays after notice has been sent to the parties, the order of the\n\nBoard shall become final and binding on all parties and shall be\n\ndocketed with the district court in the county of the residence of\n\nthe violator, or the district court in the county in which the\n\nviolation occurred.
