The enforcement officer may, through such a signed order, establish, inter alia, deadlines, plans and methods for compliance, penalties, a requirement for certifications upon stages of compliance, a requirement of the involvement of professional opinion, and access to property for the purposes of determining compliance. The signed order shall be enforceable in the same manner and to the same extent as any correction or administrative order issued hereunder, including fines, injunctive relief, attorney fees and penalties. A signed order by the person responsible, and fines imposed therein, shall not be the subject of an appeal or a hearing, and shall be final.
